This day was very much anticipated. It was Kira's birthday. B and L had surprised her by decorating our window and writing on a birthday message on our white board. It was a super nice jester...especially considering
So on this morning, we had a breakfast planned before park opening. And with the masses, we made our walk down mainstreet.
We had planned for both rooms to go to CP. Sadly, S and K could not make it....but B and L did.
If memory serves though, we met them there rather than go together from POFQ. Maybe the girls and I were running late.
Shortly after we arrived, B gave Kira a celebratory sash and hat. The hat was a bit snug..so she didn't wear it all day. The sash though...it it stayed on.
Soon enough it was time for food.
and characters
Kira even got her birthday breakfast cupcake
breakfast was fun..but a bit tense. I know things were odd throughout the trip, but I think B and L tried very hard to make this a special day for Kira. However... B and Kira both are not fans of their space being violated. There was a family near our table who just couldn't seem to control their chairs... if one or more of the chairs wasn't crammed up against one of us...it was hitting us. At one point, (maybe even several times) a chair was knocked to over and slammed into B. Yeah... this didn't help either B or Kira in their moods.
When we were done with breakfast, it would seem as though the park was just getting ready to open.
For one reason or another, we parted ways with B and L with ideas to meet for lunch.
The girls and I then went to meet a new favorite princess of mine.
The interaction was amazing. She kept calling Zoe.. Zoeyoey. It was too cute and definitely made the meet and greet more personal.
I am not certain where we spent our morning, but it does look like we may have got a bit lost in the jungle.
As well as stopped to see some enchanted birds
I think we then hopped over to one of Kira's all time favorite rides in WDW.
By the time this was over, there were three of us needing a break. Zoe was starting to have issues and I wanted to get it under control before we had it ruin too much of the day..and Amanda and I both felt a bit "off" from riding SM. I can ride it once...but my head hurts a bit after and I can't go again.
Kira however...
I think she may have actually made it three times while the other three of us tried to sip water and get ourselves more comfortable.
Lunch was soon approaching, but I think we had a dismeet to get to before lunch. It was so neat that we were able to see Su Lynn and her hubby, Steve once again!
I thought that I had a pp picture with Kira and Amanda too... however, to be honest there were some issues with the pp pictures and if they are there somewhere... it would take some doing to get them. One because B has a thing for taking a single picture and saving it in every possible combination so there is just too many to sort through. (not an exaggeration... one pose of she and Zoe she turned into 70 pictures.) Two, the first set of discs that Disney sent were corrupt and so not all files were easy to extract from the disc (B requested a second set that I hope ended up being not corrupt....but I don't know if they were or were not) so my copy is hard to view. I managed to pull some off the discs... but apparently not all of them.
