Sunday morning started with breakfast with the princesses at the Norway Castle in Epcot. Caroline was sporting her Belle dress and was thrilled to see Belle when we first walked in. All the princesses can have their picture taken with Belle upon arrival and then the family is given a picture package for free** included in the price of the character meal (which for us was free since our dining plan was free!). The other pricnesses that were there included Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Cinderella and Ariel. Mimi and Papa and joined us on our trip and this breakfast was our first time to see them. The girls were thrilled. The food was yummy and filled us up for quite a while.
We ventured around Epcot for most of the day. We all rode the Test Track, Soarin (very cool virtual reality ride that is one of Mom and Dan's favorites), Finding Nemo and Soarin some more. Good thing we were able to obtain fast passes for Soarin as the wait time creeped up rather quickly to over an hour. We met many characters in the International section of Epcot including Alice in Wonderland, Beauty & the Beast, Jasmine & Aladdin and Mulan. The kids were not so interested in the various countries other than to find the characters and have some snacks. It seemed that some patrons were mostly interested in the 15 beer sample and one of the people in line with us to meet a character said he thought he saw some people that were going to be carried out!! Quite interesting indeed.
We took an afternoon break to cool off and get ready for the Not So Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom. This is one of my most favorite things that we have done before. We ate dinner in the park at the Italian place and then got the kids changed into their costumes. Anna was especially excited about her go-go dancer outfit complete with knee high white boots and a pink wig. We enjoyed trick or treating, the parade, the shows and the fact that we could ride space mountain with no wait!! Long day, but very fun day. The kids were exhausted as we boarded the monorail. Nothing is planned for Monday which is good so we can rest up for the rest of our stay!
