Day 5...part 1...

Day five started out early! Josh was up at 6 and the rest of us were up by 6:30! Remember, this is EASTERN TIME! EEK! But we had a breakfast ADR at Akershus at 8:30so we needed to be on our way by 7:30. The bus situation is not the greatest at All Star Music, but we were in Disney so it brushed off easily. We arrived a bit late, but it wasn't a problem. We were quickly seated(within 3 minutes) yet before we were seated we had the big meet with Belle. Belle has become Kira's favorite princess, im not exactly sure when she switched from Cinderella, but im happy since Belle is my favorite. Kira got to wear her new Belle dress that we gave her for her birthday(we celebrated it a bit early but its Disney World, anything is possible :)...anyways, tangent over. We first met Belle before being seated. I knew it would be dissapointing, since all she does is sign autographs and then you are ushered to your seat. And there was no surprise. Josh didn't even get a picture with his camera. It was in, smile, out, done. But thats ok. We knew we would see her again in France. Breakfast was delicious. Snow White was by far the best princess to come around. She spent so much time with Akira and really made her come out of her 'shy shell.' It was fabulous! The food was also delicious...which of course, is why we went back. After a filling and delicious breakfast, plus Daddy going all gaga eyes over Ariel(she being his childhood 'fantasy' princess;)...admit it, every boy had one! We headed out to enjoy the park, at a relaxing pace of course. We started at test track. Kira still didn't want to ride it so the babyswap pass came in handy. Since Josh and I were also celebrating our 5th anniversary, by this day whenever I was on a ride and someone asked where my spouse was, I started to reply that as a treat for being married for five years I got to go to Disney without Josh...I mean really!?! Where do you think he is? I left him in the car? The doghouse? Anyways...it kept people smiling and gave me one of those *eye rolling* moments. When we had finished with test track, it was time for world showcase to open so we headed back that way to meander around the countries. We stopped at the Kim Possible kiosk to get our fastpass for a KP mission. We also stopped at the baby care center, I noticed that Rora was a little warmer than usual and since it was in a convenient spot, I made use of it. It was very nice and we were able to nurse in privacy, not that that matters to me, but it helped Rora to buckle down and eat without any distractions. When she was finished we were back out and on our way to a whirlwind tour around the world! First stop was Mexico. Shopping, Kidcot and an enjoyable ride on what we call the "Mexican small world." A fun start to our day. Plus by the time we left the pavillion Kira was saying 'Hola' to all the cast members. Adorable! We next headed to Norway. The line for the ride was ridiculous so we skipped the Maelstrom ride and shopped our way around Norway. Next we headed to China where we were summoned to help save the world! Of course, it is all thanks to Verizon Wireless(they're a great cell phone company, excellent coverage and they treat their employees fantastically...plus Kira knows how to spell it and that is too cute! She saw the Verizon logo on our KP phone and was so excited because, "that's where my Daddy works!" The mission was so fun! Next trip I think we will plan three days for Epcot just so we can do all the missions as they brought the kid out in Josh and my heart was melting as he and Kira were saving the world:) Of course, no trip (even to save the world) would be complete without enjoying some shopping. As an added bonus, on our way out of China Mulan stopped to congratulate Kira for saving China, and to wish 'Princess Belle' happy birthday :) As we left China we ran into Snow White again! She has so much fun visiting with Kira at breakfast that she cleared her schedule to see her again! Of course, Kira was once again awestruck. After we perused Germany we hopped on the ferry so we could enjoy our lunch at Coral Reef. It was by far the best meal of the trip. Light, refreshing and delicious food! We were seated right by the fish tank so we had great conversation. Plus Kira ate all her food! Coming up next, what happened after lunch...
