Once inside, we made our way to take some pictures with Mickey, Minnie and Goofy. We beat the crowd and had a nominal wait (10 mins). After, we went and took more pictures - this time with Joy and Sadness and Baymax while AA went to get hot beverages from Starbucks to use up some more snack credits.
With coffee and tea in hand and pictures taken, we made our way towards the Frozen ride which as also nearby our breakfast reservation. Both kids were not very excited for the ride, we couldn't really figure that out because they both love the movie and were dressed up like their favourite characters.
Eventually everyone calmed down enough and we took our ride. Afterwards everyone was all smiles. It was then time to go for breakfast with some princesses at Akerhaus in the Norway pavilion.
The twinkies really enjoyed the princesses, getting to take pictures with Cinderella, Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Ariel and Snow White and then doing a mini "princess parade".
When everyone's bellies were full, we made our way to see Anna and Elsa since we were right beside the venue, and there wasn't a long wait (10 mins). We practically walked right in and spent about 10 mins with Queen Anna and Princess Elsa. They both really enjoyed the kids' outfits and T even got a big smooch from Elsa before we left.
Then, we made the trek back for some more rides - first was Soarin' which T and B both really enjoyed. Then the crew split up - AA and DD went to Mission Space while the ladies and T went on the Living with the Land ride before regrouping and going to the Finding Nemo ride and Turtle Talk with Crush.
After everyone had their fill of rides, we made our way to the world pavilions, to wander around "at our leisure" as was stated in our schedule. The kids fell asleep and had a good 2 hrs nap. The adults enjoyed some drinks and snacks, trying to use up as many snack credits as possible.
Eventually the kids woke up and we were prepared with a snack of Edamame. T devoured his but B wasn't feeling like Edamame. Instead, we got pretzels for her and T.
Another lap of the world pavilions and then we got to our German restaurant (Biergarten) for supper. The kids, having just eaten some snacks weren't very hungry but still enjoyed some food in between all of the Oktoberfest entertainment. B especially liked her special chocolate gold coins that she got for all the dancing during the tree lighting ceremony.
After supper, the plan was to stick around until 9:30 for fireworks, but everyone was tired and the weather was starting to get cool so the gang started to make their way back to the bus. However, a few stops were made for some dessert ice cream and a small dance party before boarding the bus and getting back to the hotel earlier than planned. This was a good choice as everyone (adults included) was pretty tired and were ready to kick their feet up.
Now, bags for AA and Lola are packed and they are ready to depart the hotel at 9am. MBMell, DD and twinkies have a little more time in Orlando, having to leave the hotel at around 4pm for their flight.
Everyone is a little sad to have to go home but all enjoyed their vacation at WDW. Plus, it will only be a couple more weeks before the Texan's return to MB for the Christmas Holiday's.
