The kids thoroughly enjoyed each of the three character meals that we had. We ate with Pooh and Friends, Disney Jr. characters, and Mickey and Friends. The character meals served as a great way for the kids to get up close with the characters. They were able to get a lot of fun autographs this way. We also met a few princesses. Rapunzel was a favorite.
It was hard for the kids to choose their favorite rides. Lincoln keeps taking about Space Mountain and the Star Wars ride and Cassidy thought Splash Mountain was a blast. She ducked for cover and didn't get wet like the rest of us. Finally, it paid off to be little! Matt & I snuck off for a short while to go on some "big kid" rides while Yia Yia and Papou took the kids to another attraction. These ended up being among our favorites--The Tower of Terror and the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster.
We all enjoyed a number of shows, too many to mention! We closed the trip with one of the newer attractions--Enchanted Tales with Belle. This was an interactive storytelling experience where the kids volunteered to participate in a shortened version of Beauty & the Beast. Cassie was cast as Chip the tea cup and Lincoln was a plate (which they eloquently refer to as "sparkling dinnerware"). They got up close and personal with Belle. It really was a special way to end the trip.
