So I have gotten a little behind in my posting. Well...ok... a lot. But here I am with my next belated post.
In April, we celebrated Evelyn's birthday with a very special and magical stay at Port Orleans Riverside. Can I say new favorite hotel??? Because it was her birthday, we booked one of the special Royal Guest Rooms. And oh my! Was it magical!
 |
| A room fit for a Princess! Push a button for a magical fiber optic fireworks show over the Bayou |
 |
| Since this hotel has a N'awlins flavor, Tiana can be found throughout |
 |
| Of course, it wouldn't be a Royal Room without all of her princess friends leaving a bit of themselves |
The room was a huge treat! It costs a bit more than the average moderate resort room, but was worth every penny! Every wehre we looked, a reference to a Princess was there! Carpet (Aladdin) was on the floor, the lamp was our faucet, the coat hanger bears Cinderella's Pumkin Coach, the detail was simply amazing! Even the wallpaper border abounded with Disney sidekicks!
 |
| Hang on! |
The grounds were gorgeous! I mean, it's Disney and you expect that but wow! I could've been in the bayou-they even had the heat ;-)
We spent our Sunday at the pools. There was a lot going on, and Sofia-totally out of character-was having a difficult time enjoying herself. One of lifeguards took a particular interest in her. Tried everything in her power to help Sofi have fun. She went so far as to give her one of those bugs they use for their poolside games. To this day, that ladybug is her friend in our pool. Thank you Gina! You made a little girl's day!
The evening before her birthday, we visited Epcot first to try to catch the night show. Note to self-do not bring kids again until fire doesn't frighten them!

| As you can see, this was during the Flower and Garden at Epcot-but that is a few other posts! |

Having learned our lesson with the whole hair-do-and-pixie-dust-thing (see the Christmas at Disney post) I talked Evelyn into picking out a fancy (but practical) dress and for mommy to buy her a crown and put pixie dust in her hair. Evelyn wanted her birthday meal to be breakfast at Be Our Guest, so we got into the Magic Kingdom before it opened. The day was a fun filled blast!
I bet most people have never seen Main Street quite this deserted. Helps me with my "mind movie" when I read the Kingdom Keepers series!

| Evelyn wanted to take a picture by herself |
 |
| Um...yeah...we were FREEZING! |
 |
| My little divas! |
 |
| Getting officially pixie-dusted |
 |
| make it pink! make it blue! |
 |
| I am DETERMINED to someday get a good picture of the music box! |
Little Miss Cheese will pose for any picture!
Until next time!
