I need to preface this post by saying two things. One, it rained hard all day. Two, this was the most amazing day we have ever had!
We all started out our day with a list of things that we wanted to do or accomplish on our last day at Disney.
Brinlee: Find Piglet, ride the Matterhorn, ride the Mickey Ferris wheel, meet Brave and Rapunzel, Meet the fairies, Talk to Mickey and Minnie, Stay awake for the fire works.
We started out the day by meeting Merida from Brave. Brinlee promised all of her girl cousins that she would do her best to meet Merida and pass on the message that they all love her movie.
The little bear brothers remind us of Emmett for some reason.........
After meeting Brave we went over to see Minnie and Mickey. There were no people anywhere! We were the only ones in Toon Town, so Brinlee had the place to herself. Minnie made her feel so special by running to her with open arms, and giving her a tour of her house. She and Mickey also kept having sweet moments with one another. I am happy to report that they are very much still in love after all these years.....
Next was fairy time. We waited in line forever! Brinlee had been begging to ride some roller coasters. Andrew and I were worried that she was to young for them and it might scare her, but she insisted. While we waited in line for the fairy's, Andrew rode Space Mountain to check out if it would be Brinlee proof.
Next was Rapunzel. We waited for 1 hour and right when we got to the front of the line, they closed it down temporarily. The cause: She needed to brush her hair. We had already waited all that time so we waited another 45 minutes.
We decided to let Brinlee experience Space Mountain. On our way there we spotted Wicked Queen. Brinlee was so excited to meet her, and she spent a good chunk of time talking all things evil with the queen.
Space Mountain time. I was a wreck. So many terrifying thoughts went through my head. What if she isn't buckled in tight enough? What if she is to small and flies out of her seat? What if it scares her so much that it ruins her whole time here at Disney? What if its to jerky, or she gets sick, or panics in the beginning and then its to late? I found myself googling if any children had died at Disney due to rides.
I sat in front, and Brinlee and Andrew sat behind me. The whole ride I was hoping that she was OK, and not scared, and most of all that she would still be in her seat at the end of the ride. When the ride stopped I looked back and saw the biggest smile on her face. She immediately asked to go on it again.
So we did......
and then again......
She became super brave after riding Space Mountain. She wanted to ride the Matterhorn so she could see the big white snow monster that she kept hearing growl every time she would ride past the moutain. Of course, she loved it. She went on every ride that she was allowed to go on.
Christmas in Disney is the best. If we ever go again we will make sure it is Christmas time again.
This picture was after Space Mountain the very first time. Her face is the best!
Splash Mountain........I don't like this ride at all. She loved it and requested going on it again. She went, I stayed behind!
Ferris wheel. We tried to talk her out of this one. So scary! She thought it was the best thing ever!
She kept talking to the Yettie monster every time he would growl.
Tea Time
Finally found Piglet
This ride was her ultimate favorite. It was Grizzly Rapids. We were already soaking wet from the rain, so it wasn't a big deal to get wet on this ride. After we watched the fireworks we had time for a coupld rides before the parked closed. We asked her to pick and of course she said this ride. We went on it three times! We were so wet between this ride and the rain that we were so wrinkled! After the fireworks during our last hour at Disney I absolutely loved. We had the best time. We were pretty much the only ones in the park probably because it was raining so hard and it was late. We had the best time.
She made us take her picture by the front of Grizzly rapids so she could always remember her favorite ride.
The time came to say goodbye. It is just a short goodbye. We will go back!
