Magical Moments.

Today the girls had a tea party with Alice in Wonderland and the Mad Hatter. When I made the reservation I knew that the tea party was for "children only" but what I didn't realize is that "for children only" meant "parents may come in for a few minutes at the beginning of the tea party and then may return one hour later to fetch their children at the end of the party."

Once I figured out we were not invited to stay I looked at Eric and said, "Do you realize we're turning our children over to the Mad Hatter?" He just laughed.

(I'll just add here that the tea party was in a poorly-lit dining room and the pictures are not the greatest.)

We came back an hour later to pick them up and they all had their heads on the table pretending they were asleep. Once all the parents were back in the tea party room the kids yelled, "Surprise!"

The girls loved their tea party with Alice. And by using my very best interrogation skills I learned that they decorated cupcakes with frosting and Mickey sprinkles, were offered apple juice tea but asked for water instead, played hide-and-seek with -- I'm quoting here -- THE REAL Alice in Wonderland and the very, very silly Mad Hatter, did a craft, took pictures and sang "A Very Merry Unbirthday."











After the tea party, we headed to the Magic Kingdom where we again saw Tiana's Jubilee and were again gifted Fast Passes by a generous cast member. Then the girls' had a real Magical Moment. They were asked to stand in the front of the Bear Country Jamboree and make all the announcements over the microphone before the show and then "wake up the bears." They got to say "Good Bye" to everyone at the end and then, for no other reason than they're Michal and Kenna, they curtsied.

It was really sweet especially because they were just so excited. They also were given a "Magical Moment" certificate and a pin that says "Happily Ever After." For the rest of the day they told anyone who would listen that they had "a real magical moment."

Truly, priceless.

Peter Pan's Magic Flight remains the unanimous favorite and we rode it a couple more times today. The girls also met Peter Pan and had a hilarious conversation with him. The girls told Peter Pan that they thought it was great that he could fly. He responded by telling them that they too could fly if they had a little pixie dust.

Michal politely explained that they couldn't fly because of something called "gravity."

Hilarious.
