Our last park day- Princess Time

Our last full day at Disney and last day in the parks.  We started out going to the Polynesian Hotel to go to Ohanas.  We had to travel to the MK and then catch a boat to the hotel.  The girls enjoyed the boat ride.
We are packed for the day -including 2 princess dresses and matching shoes in my backpack along with everything else.
The monorail on its way to the Magic Kingdom.
We are having a good time at Disney.  Too bad tomorrow is go home day.
Outside the restaurant, the girls got their leis and posed for the photo.
Very very cute girls.
Then it was off to breakfast/brunch and the characters.  They bring the food to you at this one so that was nice.  It was all served family style.  Mickey is ready for a luau
He had lots of help writing his name.

They both got big hugs from Mickey.
Then came Stitch.  Stitch is not a character we have seen before so this was fun.
I'm sure Stitch enjoys having his eye poked.
We like Stitch.

Stitch liked the girls too.  They had a lot of fun at this breakfast.
Pluto was next.
Lilo is another new character for us. 
I liked this breakfast.  Food was good and you didn't have to run to a buffet and spend a lot of time in a line.
They had the now standard parade around the restaurant.  This time the girls went off to join it.

Sasha however quickly changed her mind and decided she wasn't quite up to joining the parade and leaving mommy.
Then it was off to the MK.  The girls discovered their favorite ride in all Disney.  The  Alladin's Magic Carpet ride.  The camels spit and you can try to fly your carpet above it or below it(or in Sasha's case right at the water so it hits mommy in the face and causes much joy to my children)  This camel also spit at people walking by.  We played with the spitting camel for quite a while.  We also went on the Pirates of the Carribean.  Too dark for Leeza.
Then we were in time to catch another of the parades.  This one wasn't as crowded and the girls really liked it.
All the characters were on floats.  And they waved at the girls.  Right at them(as told by leeza)  We then went to the Castle forecourt where they had a little show.  It had Malificient(evil Sleeping Beauty queen) in it and Leeza was most impressed.  The crowd was thick and I had to hold both girls up so they could see.  I had one on my back and one on my hip and they kept sliding down and I kept having to pick them back up,  My arms were so sore and tired when the show was over, but this is one of the shows that the girls remember the most so it was worth it.
Next was our appointment at the Bippity Bobbity Boutique for hair, nails, and makeup.  This was why I was packing the dresses around all day.  We went and checked in.  Leeza checked out the salon.
When it is close to your time, they take you to the dressing room to change into your dress.  My beautiful princesses are about to have their first full salon treatment.  Sasha waited until we were back in the waiting area to tell me her dress was scratchy so we undressed and put a shirt on in the waiting area.  So much for needing the dressing room.

Waiting patiently for their turn to be called.
Each girl got to pick from 3 hair dos -each with a crown, stick on jewels and a pin for Sasha.
Sasha was a little unsure so mom broke out the suckers and that seemed to help alot.
Leeza had already got into her chair, ordered her hairdo and was underway with the hair before I even got Sasha settled.  She is a girl who knows what she wants with her hair.


Hair complete and now it is time for the nail polish.  They got to keep the extra(2 full bottles) nail polish and all the makeup.
A little eye shadow for a little princess
Leeza picked the Diva hairdo- how appropriate!
The final thing is the sprinkling of the magic pixie dust.
And then the princess gets to see her makeover in the mirror.  It meets her approval!

Now it is Sasha's turn for pixie dust.
The little princess approves.  She also got a special sash since it was her birthday last week.

Leeza had to come checkout Sasha's hairdo.
Then it is across the street for the photo session.  Lots of good photos of the beautiful princesses.











My beautiful princesses.  Very happy BBB session.  They ended up with a bag of extra makeup, nail polish and etc.
To end our final day and celebrate Sasha's 4th birthday(one week late) we then went to dinner in Cinderella's castle.
CInderella greets the girls in the lobby area.
The girls felt very special and were loving every minute of this.
Then it is up the stairs to the dining room to meet the princesses.

Snow White was first



Then Sleeping Beauty in a dress matching Leeza's.
Ariel stopped by- without her mermaid tail.
Belle in her regular dress(non ball gown) was there also.

We ate dinner and then they brought out the do it yourself cupcake dessert.
Leeza spent a lot of time building her cupcake, but ate very little of it.  After the castle, we took one last ride on Winnie the Pooh and then we said goodbye to the Magic Kingdom and our park experience.
Although it was late, we went swimming when we got back.  Eventually they shutdown the slides so the girls just swam around the pool.
This is the smaller slide.  The big one was about 3 stories tall and corkscrewed down inside a building/tower.


They had fun just jumping in the pool.  We could do this since the life guards were all gone.  Then it was off to bed and off to the airport in the morning for the plane ride home.
