Disney World: Day 4 (Magic Kingdom at night)

This post is a continuation of Day 4…  To see the first part of Day 4, click here.

Ok, are you ready for some princess pictures?  If not, I suggest you stop reading now.  Fair warning. :)  After changing our clothes and freshening up, we headed back to the Magic Kingdom for our dinner reservations in the castle at Cinderella’s Royal Table.

We loved the ambiance of the room (we’re “castle” people).  Then the waitress brought over magic wands and a sword for the kids, which they loved!

After receiving our food, the princesses started making their rounds.

We really enjoyed the opportunity to go inside the castle, and the kids had a lot of fun playing the parts of knight and princesses.  A magical experience for all of us!

Following the fairytale dining experience, we used a fast pass to visit Audrey’s favorite princess, Rapunzel.  Audrey asked Rapunzel how she got her hair to be so long, and Rapunzel replied, “I just never cut it!”  Audrey has now sworn off all haircuts from now until forever.

Afterward, Luke took the girls for a ride on the carousel while Logan tried to pull out the sword in the stone.  (I told him that only a true knight could pull out the sword.)

Then I heard someone call out “Mrs. Darling” and I turned to see Audrey’s friend from school, Reece, riding the carousel!  Audrey and Reece were unknowingly riding the carousel at the same time!  What a fun surprise to see your friend at Disney World!

Off to Tomorrowland Speedway where Logan and Audrey got their chance behind the wheel!

Thankfully there is a track in the middle to keep the car on course, but Audrey hit that central track more times than the average driver, I’m sure!  (Although the car in front of us – with Logan driving– had their fair share of jolts too!)  :)

To end the night, we used fast passes to get front row seats at the nighttime Electrical Parade.  We were seated right in front of the castle.  Super seats!  And, wow, Disney sure knows how to put on an amazing parade! 

The kids didn’t want to stay for the fireworks (too loud) so we went back to The Polynesian and watched them from the beach instead.

Whew!  What a big and fun day, starting with our Winnie the Pooh breakfast in the morning and ending with the fireworks at night. 

And this is what you look like after 13 hours at the Magic Kingdom!
