Disney 2012–Day 3–Epcot, Part I

Hannah and I made our way to Epcot in time for park opening.  We participated in the parade of people making their way to Soarin’ and not only picked up some FastPasses to use later, we rode it too!  Soarin’ is one of my favourite rides and I was beyond excited that I would finally be able to introduce this ride to Hannah now that she is 40” tall.  She loved it too!  If you ever head to WDW Soarin’ must be on your ‘Not to be missed’ list!

‘I did it!!!’
From there we walked to one of our favourite restaurants and dined with the Princesses at Akershus.
2 beautiful princesses!  Belle and Hannah.
Cinderella
Snow White

Aurora
and Ariel.  Hannah’s goofy little smile is new.  Not sure where it came from but it sure does make for some funny looking pictures!

Princess Parade

We’ve had the opportunity to get to know one family that takes gymnastics at the same time Hannah does.  She and Isaiah are great little friends.  One day earlier this spring Nicole was mentioning how much they’d love to take the kids to Disney.  You know that’s all the information I need so over the next few days Nicole and I booked their trip as well as all of their dining reservations.  Fun!!
The kids knew they were all at Disney together.  They just didn’t know when they’d see one another.  Squeals of excitement when they found out Sunday was going to be that day!
Lots more fun to come.  For now I have to turn in as I can’t keep my eyes open.
