Best Night Ever!

Last night after a couple hours of rest at the villa after Animal Kingdom, we headed out to the Magic Kingdom because Lyla was ready to see some princesses. She was standing up in her stroller to see out the window and lit up when we say Cinderella's castle. 

Five minutes after we got into the park we met Mickey Mouse. Lyla finally got to use her autograph book and was SO excited to meet Mickey!

Then, of course, she was captured by the huge bouquets of balloons on Main Street. She just had to have a princess balloon and couldn't stop looking at it while we made our way to fantasy land. Masud couldn't really see to push the stroller, but that was ok, she got a balloon!

In fantasy land, we got right in to see Cinderella, Lyla's favorite princess. She was so excited we had to hold her back to keep her from rushing the line. The best part was that Cinderella took extra time with Lyla and talked with her, took tons of photos with the photopass photog and made sure to give her extras hugs.

Aurora did the same. They talked, signed autographs and then had a tea party together. At the end, she gave Lyla a special kiss on the hand. She told me she was never going to wash it off. 

Next up was Rapunzel, or Tangled as Lyla calls her. She wasn't as into her, but still had fun. 

While we waited for Snow White Lyla noticed that some girls in their 20s had little crowns and lamented that she had left her crown at home. I told her that she didn't need a crown to be a princess and we could look for one after the princess visit. Then one of the girls took off her crown and gave it to Lyla. I was in tears and gave her a big hug and a thank you. It really made Lyla's night!

We saw Snow White and then they held us back until all the other families were gone so that Lyla could have extra time with the princesses and get group photos. They definitely gave her the star treatment and she couldn't have been happier. 

Next up she wanted to ride Dumbo. We took a spin on the flying elephants where she found a baby Dumbo in her seat (imaginary). On the way out of Dumbo we saw this sign. Believe and Soar was right! We were on cloud nine!

Just as we got off Dumbo the fireworks started! We had a great view and watched while riding the barnstormer roller coaster over and over again. After the fireworks, we went on Winnie the Pooh, where they didn't even make us get off the ride. Then we rode the Carousel and finished up the night with Small World. 

I was a perfect, awesome night! And we still have the rest of the week here!
