Aw thats cute! I love Elsie's Cinderella dress.
I have just started making Prince Adam (The beast human form) costume. Boys costumes are a lot harder.

Boo to the last day of your trip. I will be interested to see our your Adam costume turns out. There is far less choice for boys.
Love Fantasmic, I think it's my favourite too.

Our last full day 
We were still at park opening even though it felt like we had a lie in.
Today we were on a mission to see the last of the characters and everything they had to offer on Limited Magic True Love week.
Our first stop was the Prince and Princesses. This later in the week was reported to have a 2 and half hour wait we waited 15 minutes. Though it felt like forever. Elsie was pretty grumpy from her late night the night before.
We saw Rapunzel and Flynn
Elsie was still pretty grumpy but cheered up after a little chat with Rapunzel.
We also saw that Flynn still Rapunzels crown in his satchel. He really should give that back.
Then it was Aurora and Philip. Philip was really nice and offered to have Elsie for the day we were very tempted at the time as 10 minutes ago she was whining on the floor kicking her legs.
Love this picture it looks like Elsie has stolen Philip whilst Aurora just watches.
Philip offered to escort Elsie over to Cinderella and Prince charming who were waiting for Elsie. She had all four them to her self for a little bit and she loved it.
Cinderella looked just like she did when we saw her in Akershus she looked different the other days
Oh how I look forward to Elsie asking me that when she grows up.
Again shoes were compared and when they found out I had the matching pair they were very impressed.
We headed over to see Snow White and her Prince but they were just leaving so decided we would come back on our way out. We went to find the Fairy Godmother. Well she had been moved twice she used to be by the Cinderella Fountain then where the new Fantasyland entrance is. Well the carriage was there and no one was waiting so Elsie had her photo there
we asked where the Fairy Godmother was and we finally found her.
There was quiet a wait Dave stayed in the line whilst Elsie and I walked around. We saw Mary Poppins and Bert but have no evidence as the photo pass person had left and I didn't have my camera. Elsie did get a valentines day card though. They were giving out signed cards from each couple.
We went back to Dave and took some photos of Elsie waiting these are some of my favourite pictures of her.
Cheeky
Yes I am a princess and this is my good side!
Fairy G was great and wanted to pick Elsie up and kiss her lol! Elsie didn't mind she just likes the attention lol!
What next? Of course more characters it is more like who next? LOL
The white rabbit well the person in front of us is about to have their go but Alice came out as well so that was an added bonus even though we had already seen her.
Elsie loved how soft the rabbit was you can see her leaning on his hand!
After all that talk about tea we went and got a drink to join our next line.
Tiana and ....
Well Naveen was there but Elsie had another one of her glorious paddys as it was our turn and wouldnt go near Naveen! We have never had this before out of 5 trips to Disney apart from Gaston this is the only character Elsie hasn't liked.
He is trying to sneak in. Can you see how stiff Elsie has gone?
Naveen asked us to bring Jaffa Cakes next time! Odd but OK I will.
I told you we would be back Tinks
And Periwinkle was back this time another character ticked off. I actually think she was our last character
After visiting Pixie Hollow we made our way out Madam wasn't happy. We did stop and get a card from Jasmine and Aladdin but not actually for a photo.
On our way out Snow White was on an hour break and had only just left so we won't be seeing her and her prince. Oh well she is only my favourite. SOB SOB!
We got the boat over to Wilderness Lodge this is one of my dream resorts I love it.
We had lunch and then got the bus back to Magic Kingdom and then the bus back to SSR for a rest

Back at the villa I did some packing and managed to more loads of washing we come home with only two days of dirty laundry LOVE IT!
I also tried to change our ADR as we hadnt seen wishes yet and I had booked our dinner at 7 and Wishes was on at 8 thinking we would have already done wishes. Oh well it wasn't meant to be this trip! A reason to come back
We waited and waited and waited for a MK bus and nothing the 3rd Epcot bus was coming so we got on that thinking we will get off get the monorail to TTC and then monorail to Contemporary for our Chef Mickey ADR we had plenty of time. It poured down when we got on the bus and it got worse and worse. First night we didn't grab our coats as well as it had been so hot all day!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok we are under cover once we are on the monorail its OK. At Grand Floridian the conductor announces that the monorail will stop at MK and that will be it due to a technical fault! What? It was pouring still! Oh no!
We ran to the Contemporary! They were handing out towels as you got in because it was so wet.
We had our photo whilst waiting for our table looking a bit washed out and waited to be called.
Elsie would have rather have stayed playing with the children then come to dinner.
Dinner wasn't great the atmosphere was so flat and we were really disappointed we had really been looking forward to it and it being our last night.
Minnie was rubbish she didn't bend down for Elsie or interact at all.
Elsie spinning her napkin.
Im not even going to post Donalds photo they aren't great. He was rude. The table next to us had 2 little boys one of the boys was having his drink Donald took it out his hand posed and walked off! It wasn't busy in here they weren't being rushed round.
Luckily Mickey made up for every one else he was great acting as if Elsie really was Minnie Mouse.
After the characters I struggled to keep Elsie at the table she wasn't interested so whilst Dave finalised the bill Elsie and I went back in the waiting area and she played.
It wasn't raining now and Wishes was finishing so we decided to go in to MK one last time the park was open till 10 with the Electric parade on at 9. With the early fireworks and the rain the park was so quiet.
We went to see Minnie and Mickey and get a card from them as well! Luckily Minnie had cheered up since dinner. Again will enjoy explaining to Elsie how Minnie and Mickey got here before us and changed when she is older.
We managed to do Enchanted Tales with Belle with almost walking on.
We got to see Belle's new dress as well. I like it but I don't like the hair. I don't think she looks like Belle at all though.
We had a look round the circus area it was empty no one around at all. We thought about going in and seeing the characters but we were all pretty tired and had a long day to follow so we made our way out.

Elsie looks so adorable in all the photos, I love the ones of her posing on her own!! What a shame that Chef Mickeys didn't live up to expectations. Sounds like you had a brilliant trip overall though, can't wait to see your photopass photos xx

Shame that you had such a bad chef mickeys experience. Out of all our ADR's this is the one that Emily is looking forward to the most and I have also booked it for our last night. I really hope that was a one off??

Aww it's over
43 days will fly by
you get to see the sun so jealous. Aw thank you. You go tomorrow! You must be so excited. Is it still ok to get me those buttons? Some of my photos are the photo pass ones I just sneaked them in. I have over 1,000 photopass photos. Too many to share lol!
I know why do good things have to come to an end.
I think the evening leading up to it didn't help. Waiting for buses after having the ease of the car and getting wet. We are going to go back so it's not completely put us off
We have heard that the atmosphere was better at breakfast we hope to go back for breakfast next time.

The day we had been dreading! It was still raining and it was cold. We didn't find out how cold until we checked all our clothes in with Virgin at Down Town Disney though!!!!
We were heading for Hollywood Studios today. Disney Junior live on stage was scheduled to re open the next day with a new show so we went to try our luck and see if they had any soft openings.
Our luck was in we were the first show of that day. I don't know if it was the first show ever but it was busy. The queue was huge and we were very lucky to get in.
Now I know a lot of you won't know who these characters are Princess Sofia, Doc McStuffin and Jake and the Neverland Pirates. These characters are a big deal in our family.
It was hard to get a good picture as you have to sit on the ground like the kids do. There is some standing but not a lot.
Elsie loved it though. She got to help pop bubbles, play in the snow, collect her gold doubloons and dance around. This was a huge hit with her and it was lovely to see her enjoy her self. A must do for us that is for sure.
After the show it was still very cold and wet. We were both hungry but wanted to eat in different places so I had a burger at ABC it was ok this plave is so hit and miss and Dave had Pizza at Pizza Planet. Pizza really doesn't bother me I go to Pizza hut and have pasta
Yeah I am one of those lol!
Virgin had to text to say our flight was delayed an hour so when we went back to SSR we asked if they would change us. No because they might bring the flight time back. Though we were delayed because the air plane wont be here in time!
We walked over to Down Town Disney for one last time. No cookes of Dublin though. Bought our last few bits I got a jumper as it was so cold. Elsie fell asleep in her push chair for the last time (Probably ever) and we made our way back to wait for ME.
Back at SSR we used our last snack credits on some cheesy mickey biscuits and pez dispensers Elsie loves these.
We collected our hand luggage and I remembered I put trousers in there with Elsie's PJs yay we dont have to freeze any more.
ME was uneventful just fighting back the tears didn't want to go home.
Through security and we had a Burger King between us as our flight was now delayed 2 hours. Elsie found 2 new friends at the airport they played nicely together and wore each other out.
Finally on the flight. We warned that we would experience a lot of turbulence due to the bad weather. After take off the plane dropped a bit and it scared the .... out of me. Most people on the plane screamed and the air host/hostess shouted if every one was ok. This frightened Elsie as you can imagine a small 2 year old who doesnt know what is going on and doesnt understand when you explain it to her. She started crying and the man the other side of the aisle started shouting and swearing at me to shut Elsie up. I was so shocked that I started crying. He got out of his seat started shouting and swearing at the air hostess who was still sat with her lap belt on as the turbulence was that bad telling her to move him and his family. They were already in different seats to what they were allocated. It got so bad that the air hostess came and stood between us so he couldn't see me as he was trying to lean over shouting at me. Dave was so angry but knew not to say anything as he didn't want to make it worse.
The manager come over and said they shouldn't do this whilst the seat belt signs were on but they were frightened for us and moved us to three empty seats. Literally as soon as we got up Elsie stopped crying and we hadn't been sat for a even a few minutes and Elsie fell asleep.
Some of you may remember that I posted on the Community board just before we went that I wasn't copping with Terrible 2's and was worried about our holiday. Well after 2 weeks of seeing plenty of tantrums much worse then Elsie has ever had I felt so much better and a lot more confident as a mum again! After that I felt awful and cried pretty much the whole flight home! I am even tearing up now thinking about it.
The staff were amazing though and couldn't do enough for us. Some of the passengers that were sat around us come over and apologized for what we experienced. We had to right an incident report and some one phoned me a few days later to check we were ok. Really Virgin couldn't of been better we were really pleased with them.
After all the drama and we had all our bags we waited for the shuttle to collect us to take us back to the hotel where the car was parked. We also saw Karma at her best. Oh yes the man that made our journey so horrific his bag had got lost
Thanks Karma.
We got the car filled it up with bags, got petrol and made our way home. I slept the entire trip as did Elsie. Dave slept on the flight so was ok to drive home even though he did moan he was lonely.
Back home an unpacked and now almost 6 weeks later I have finished my report
