disney 2012 - day two - afternoon and evening

day two afternoon objective: pretty princesses hit the magic kingdom; lunch with winnie the pooh and friends; dinner with cinderella and family
checking out the princess dolls in the castle couture" store after princessification. amazingly we made it out without buying anything (yet)
dancing outside the castle, showing daddy her pretty dress
checking out the cinderella fountain
watching the princess show from afar
at this point we realized what a crock dining reservations are... we waited over 30 minutes past our reservation time despite arriving early. caroline passed the time (and amused fellow waiters) by singing and dancing
lunch with winnie the pooh and friends at the crystal palace. Q was very excited that they had chicken nuggets on the buffet.
meeting eeyore
and tigger too!
and piglet
and finally the big man himself. (is he choking Q???)
floral sculptures of the pooh bear friends
we decided to go back to the hotel to recharge for a bit. on the bus Q recognized an ad for "treasure buddies" and frightened some people by doing so. yeah, my kid is heavily influenced by advertising.
our stuffed friends were waiting
after a bit of rest, we headed out to the grand floridian for another princess meal, this time cinderella (again) and the rest of her crew. prince charming was the first to greet us. caroline said, "look mommy! it's cinderella's boy!" and then she whispered, "he's so handsome!"
cinderella, meet cinderella.
a trio of cinderellas
prince charming and c-rella were great, but the true all-stars from this meal were the wicked stepmother and step-sisters. they were hilarious. lady tremaine was hysterically dry and sarcastic and mocked the children.
meanwhile, cinderella danced with her prince
i don't think that pickle understood that she (as cinderella) is not supposed to like her step-mother
Q didn't care about greeting lady tremaine, but she harassed him into it
the step-sisters were also a riot. anastasia tries to look evil with caroline (as cinderella fittingly loses a glass slipper)...
but then ginny falls out of her chair. anastasia is concerned. but no one else is. ginny is known as "the wrecking ball" for a reason.
ok, now that we know ginbug is fine, back to posing
drizella sat down for quite a while talking with caroline, making the best faces, feigning interest in what pickle was saying
an attempt to get a beautiful photo of the two cinderellas...
but the cheese face came out...
then pickle got sassy and made her "angry face"...
so cinderella joined in
after dinner, jeff and ginny went back to the hotel since jeff had to be up like 3 hours later to run the 1/2 marathon. the rest of us went back to the magic kingdom to catch the fireworks.
quentin promptly passed out, sitting backwards in the stroller
lilly didn't fare any better, passing out on jeremy's shoulders during the fireworks
only pickle managed to see the whole fireworks display, but zonked out immediately following

day two = success
