Where Dreams Come True...Day Two

Our second day started out with something very special for Riley...a full makeover at the Bippity Boppity Boutique!

We let her pick out her princess attire for the day and she decided to be Belle!
Riley was so excited and they were running a little behind but she was so patient as we waited for a Fairy Godmother in training to come get her!

Finally it was her turn!
Her hair got combed, sprayed, and put up in the Fairy Tale updo with a tiny little tiara!
Next came some nail painting!
A little bit of makeup!
And of course some glitter pixy dust!
At last she was swung around in her chair, the curtains were pulled back, and the magic mirror revealed our beautiful princess!
Family pic!
Our beautiful girl...inside and out!
Our timing couldn't have been any better...as soon as we left the boutique we spotted The Beast and we had to go meet him...after all Belle had to get a picture with her beast!
It was so sweet...he bowed down to Belle and danced her around!

Beauty and the Beast

Next we spent time riding rides...the Dumbo ride, the storybook boat ride, and of course It's a Small World!
This was also the time I went to get Fast Passes and ended up getting them for the wrong ride and then preceded to lose my park 3 day hopper ticket...who would think to put a preggo in charge of such important things?  No harm was done and they reprinted my ticket...thank goodness!
After all of that fun it was time for lunch...and we had been told by the Welch's that we must have corn dogs at some point during our trip so that's what we did for lunch.  OH.MY.GOODNESS!  Just picture a huge corn dog with super thick funnel cake breading...so yummy!

After lunch we decided to head back to the hotel for naps so we could come back and stay late for the fireworks!

We spotted Mickey and Minnie Mouse so we had to check them out!
Riley dance around through their whole show and had a blast!
We all relaxed for several hours and got some sleep and once we were up we were ready to head back to Disneyland.
We had made reservations to eat at Blue Bayou...a great restaurant within the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.  It had such a great atmosphere and felt like we were sitting outside having dinner!
Riley liked her pirate hat!
And we got her this special punch that came in a cup with a light up Tinkerbell on it...score!
After dinner we rode the Pirates of the Caribbean ride and surprisingly this was the ride Riley got the least scared on...and it had a few drops on it but it was fun!
Next we went to check out the Finding Nemo ride..it's a submarine ride and I thought Riley would love it.  She was getting slightly scared on all of the rides...moreso with each ride..but I knew this one wasn't scary!

My sweet girl while we were waiting in line.
Turns out she fought getting on the ride and basically hid under the seat the entire time...poor thing.

She was much more into the actual rides rather than the movie themed rides so she drove a car with her Daddy at Autopia and had a blast!
After Autopia we heard an Elvis band and Riley was ready to dance the night away!
Then it was time for fireworks...Riley got the best seat in the house...on her Daddy's shoulders!
The castle all lit up!
The fireworks show was great and the perfect way to end the night!

What a magical day for a little girl! I bet you three made so many wonderful memories together before you'll be a family of 4 soon! Loved the blog post -- I was smiling the whole time I was reading it. :)
