Steph tasked me with the Disney Day 2 and 3 updates, and it has taken me a month to get to them. Let me think, oh yeah, we hit Epcot and Hollywood Studios on Day 2 along with fun times at Animal Kingdom!
We started off early in the morning heading out to Epcot for the Princess Breakfast. Brynna was dressed as Belle of course! We headed into Epcot before it opened thanks to our reservations. It was like the scene from Vacation when they get into the park and it is empty. We loved it! We walked around and took it all in on the way to Norway for the breakfast...that is how an amusement park should be, with no people!

We got to Norway, met Belle and got to feast on a Norwegian breakfast, and I use feast lightly. I am not sure how the folks of Norway handle that food every morning. The food was not the reason we were there, we were there for the princesses and Brynna (and Jaden) got to meet Belle, Snow White, Cinderella, Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty for those not in the know) and of course Jaden's favorite, Ariel!
After the princess breakfast we headed to meet Tinkerbelle...that was an epic failure, as Terrance was with Tink and after an hour in line, Brynna wanted no part of it...but Jaden had no problem meeting them both.
We rode a few more rides like "The Big Golf Ball" and Nemo and headed out to go to Hollywood Studios.
We were not expecting Hollywood Studios to be as crowded as it was at mid day, but it was a zoo. We got in and went straight to Toy Story Mania...after that we took in a parade. We went and saw the Little Mermaid Show and headed back to our hotel, Animal Kingdom.
The goal was to go to the pool for an hour, have some dinner and head back to Magic Kingdom...that did not happen. We got back to the hotel and realized our room was humid. The cause of this was that the faucet to the tub would not shut off completely. We called down to the front desk to have them fix it, and figured we would go to the pool and come back and all would be fixed...we were dead wrong. We came back to tools in the bathtub, but no one was there and the faucet had been removed from the tub. I called down to the front desk and they said they were working on it still. I was not happy, but thought this can't take long. About 10 minutes later a man came in with a saw and hammer and started dismantling the piping in the tub/shower...not good. I decided it was time to call and complain again. They did give us a free night and moved our room, but that was at the other side of the resort...by the time this saga was over it was 7:15 and we were in no shape to go to Magic Kingdom. We decided to get a good night sleep and head to Animal Kingdom in the morning to "celebrate" Mother's Day!

Day 3 started off better than most because in our room debacle we received concierge level status...so we utilized the free breakfast and coffee! We got to Animal Kingdom just as it opened and it was very crowded but we were able to get our fast passes for the rides we wanted and could get into everything that we wanted to see, so the lines were not too bad. We did make a wrong move, we went into the big tree to see A Bug's Life in 3D...it was scary as h#$%! Brynna was clinging to me saying she wanted to go home, and Jaden was scared as well. We did sneak in seeing all the characters again like Goofy, Donald, Minnie, Mickey, Chip and Dale...but Brynna would go no where near them. We finally hit the road around 2:00!
All in all it we have some great pictures and memories from the 3 days. I am not sure how people spend a week out there, maybe their children are older or better behaved...don't know. We will see Disney again on a random Wednesday in the fall.
