First stop was Dumbo, followed by the Tomorrowland Speedway before either line got too long. The Speedway is one I was technically not supposed to ride, but we took all the necessary precautions (i.e. Kyle following so a random kid didn't rear end my car) and had a "great" time. If by "great" I mean a time that our kids liked, and so we tolerated because we love them. ;)
Onto visit the princesses, we were excited to find Jasmine there this time! Hartley and Emmersyn were super chatty with all three (though a little overwhelmed by Jasmine), which is always fun.
On our way to Adventureland we grabbed the first Dole Whip of the trip, and waited for the new (old) Tiki Room! It was definitely an improvement, but other than the nostalgia factor (which might be enough, I'll admit) I'm not sure we'd be disappointed if we missed it on a trip now and then. We hit the Jungle Cruise next, before lunch at Tortuga Tavern.
Zach took the girls on Pirates of the Caribbean after lunch, while I did a
little window shopping - and waited to hear how badly they freaked out on the
ride. To our surprise, they really loved it still!
Over in Tomorrowland we watched the Monsters Inc Laugh Floor, where the girls were delighted to have "their" joke read again. We then grabbed a Sweet Cream pretzel (yes, pretty much all we did was eat, if you're wondering), the girls laid down to rest, Zach headed to the Mountains (Splash and Big Thunder) while I headed to my favorite rocking chair.
At about 215 I took the (sleeping) girls over to grab a parade spot. Zach joined us, and the girls eventually woke up just in time to play a bit before "Celebrate a Dream Come True". Their sweet enjoyment of the parades would be enough to keep us coming back to WDW time and again, if that were the only good thing about it. I might have mentioned something similar, even as recently as yesterday. But it's true.

After the parade was over we changed the girls into their Cinderella dresses and rode a few more rides (Buzz, TTA, Teacups and Snow White). We discovered some fun secrets in the Sir Mickey's and Castle Couture shops, so we played there for a little while, before riding "it's a small world" again... and finally dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table!
The girls were more precious than I could have ever hoped. After getting a picture with Cindy, they ran up the spiral staircase and literally gasped when they got to the top. Dinner was delicious, and they loved their Wishing Stars, Magic Wands, and chocolate milk (it was a "special day", after all, eating in the castle!). The Princess interaction was infinitely better than we had previously had at Akershus, and the night overall was well worth every penny. The evening ended with the girls decorating their own desserts, then strolling out of the Magic Kingdom on a beautiful night.
