There was a short posted wait time for Mad Tea Party – and you can’t go to Magic Kingdom and NOT ride the teacups!

We decided to continue our relaxing day, and headed over to the Carousel of Progress to see the Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow…

We found a Photopass Photographer by the side of the castle, so we decided to stop for some more pictures

 

We then headed back into Fantasyland to use a Fastpass we had grabbed to meet some princesses! The other side didn’t have too long of a wait, so we decided to meet all four of them!

I find Cinderella to be an incredibly boring princess, much too prim and proper to be entertaining. We didn’t spend much time with her, just said hello, she commented on our Just Engaged buttons, we took a few pictures and that was about it.

       *more unexpected Photopass pictures haha*

So, we had no idea who Elena of Avalor was, but she was probably our favourite princess we met that day – she was very bubbly and adorable. I wish I could remember our conversation with her, but of course I’m writing this a year and a half after it happened… I love these pictures of Elena and Luke though  <3

This Magicshot was clearly meant for Cinderella, not Elena – and I find most of these things weird… but here you go!

We then headed to the other side of Princess Hall – to meet Tiana and Rapunzel! Both were great, and really excited to learn we had just got engaged the day before.

By the time we finished meeting the princesses, I felt like a snack, so I grabbed a churro. This was actually the first one I’ve ever had in Florida – and it was kind of gross. It had clearly been sitting under a heat lamp for a little bit too long – the ones I’ve had at Disneyland have always been hot and fresh. I was disappointed, but I still ate it.

We wandered around a bit, I think we went to see Enchanted Tales with Belle (but I have no pictures to prove this, so you’ll just have to believe me…), before jumping in line for The Little Mermaid ride – where I was once again handed a red card! Twice in one day!

We caught the train over by The Barnstormer, and rode it all the way around to Frontierland.

We had never been on Splash Mountain in the dark, and the wait time was basically non-existent so it was a great time to try it out! We came oh-so-close to have a boat to ourselves! Maybe one day…

It was getting close to time for Wishes, so we decided to watch from the bridge in Frontierland. It’s not the best viewing location, but we could see the fireworks and it wasn’t crowded at all.

There were Extra Magic Hours this night, so we did not join the rush of people leaving the park after the fireworks. Luke realized he hadn’t ate since lunch, and decided it was time for him to have a snack. He decided to grab one of his favourites, a Dole Whip Float.

He enjoyed it, as always. We sat for a few minutes while he ate it, and we realized we didn’t have many things we wanted to accomplish during Extra Magic Hours, that we would just go on rides with short wait times. We walked over and The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh was a walk-on so we hopped in a honey pot and went to visit the 100-Acre Wood. We then headed over to Tomorrowland for our final ride of our trip – Buzz Lightyear.

After Luke beat me yet again on Buzz, we decided to say goodbye to the parks for this trip and headed out to the bus stop. We headed back to Saratoga Springs, and finished packing up. We ate some of the snacks/leftovers we had in the room – we realized we had forgot to eat supper haha. Whoops?! After shoving some food in, we crashed pretty quickly – we had a relaxing day, but it was still a long day.
