Phineas and Ferb... I took this picture from afar but I did go back later and meet them myself. Hannah didn't want to see them (even though she loves them and the show lol) but I did so .... I went and met them by myself LOL. I won't have photos from that though until after vacation when I get my photopass CD lol
Hannah and Minnie. This is always the highlight of the trip for her and us. She loves minnie... even more than she loves princesses lol. And today she had on her minnie shoes, minnie dress, minnie ears and had her princess minnie with her. she was ready to see Minnie but I don't think Minnie was ready for her haha. Minnie really gave Hannah a lot of extra attention. she spent a good 5 minutes with her.

This is my favorite shot of the trip so far.
Curtsey for Minnie
Minnie approved lol
Donald... this was the first time she's wanted to meet with him. she's getting more and more outgoing with every trip lol
A curtsey from Hannah and a bow from Donald
Another meeting with chip and dale lol
That's all so far today but I'm sure there will be more lol
It's been a great day so far. We went to HOllywood studios and FINALLY got to ride Toy Story Mania. If you haven't heard of this ride... it's insanity. The lines are always HUGE and fastpasses are always gone by noon, sometimes earlier. so we scored fast passes early and finally got to ride it for the first time ever....
WORTH IT!!!!!! that ride is so freaking cool lol
Hannah met a bunch of characters, we did the disney junior show and a bunch of other stuff. tonight we are headed back for the disney junior dance party. The characters come out and dance with everyone
should be fun and we are meeting up with a bunch of people from the Disney forum I participate on

What an amazing day yesterday was. We went back to Hollywood studios in the evening after Hannah had a nice nap in the afternoon and was all refreshed. We went back to the animation building where they have a big character meetup set up. Mary Poppins was back there which was awesome because we missed her the previous day and Hannah kept mentioning her lol.
Mary Poppins was taken with Hannah right away lol. As they were chatting Hannah said "Oh no... wait... Mommy we need the book" (the autograph book) I laughed and told Mary Poppins that I had been forgetting to get the book signed the whole trip so now she was keeping close watch to make sure I didn't forget anymore. Mary poppins laughed and said "You know, you would make a very good Nanny. you run a tight ship" LOL
There were only a few more people behind us and then Mary poppins was heading out and a different character was taking her place. We happened to be standing near the door they leave through and she ran over to Hannah and asked if she would like a special surprise. She asked if Hannah would like to meet Belle and of course Hannah said YES. So mary went to the back and brought Belle out to Hannah and introduced them and hannah got some special time with her. It was very cool
I hope the sound is working on this video. it wasn't working last night
A bow and a curtsey
I got a good shot of Mary Poppins bringing Belle out to see Hannah

Next was Scorcerer Mickey (daddy's favorite and this is a big deal because this is the first time she really wanted to meet mickey. usually she doesn't want to see him... only minnie but now she's all about him lol)
We went and did Star tours... we haven't been on that one since they refurbished it. it was awesome and Hannah really enjoyed it. I was worried she might be scared but when she ended she said "WOW THAT WAS AMAZING" LOL
and THEN... it was dance party time.
This is probably the most incredible moment we've had EVER at Disney. They set it up in the Disney Junior building and they have a DJ and it's loud and lots of "club" lights and then the characters come out and dance with all the kids. Hannah danced with Minnie, mickey, pluto, goofy, Jake (from jake and the neverland pirates) and the little einsteins. it was incredible and Hannah was in complete awe and man did she shake her little heiny LOL. Everyone was commenting on how funny and cute she was cutting a rug. she was hilarious.
We got chatting with one of the cast members and she said "I think we adults are having even more fun than the kids" I laughed and said that I just said the same thing to my hubby after watching this one little guys grandmother. I said that I didn't know what was better... the moves this lady was breaking out or the HUGE smile on her face. it was awesome.
after the first hour the place cleared out and there were probably only a dozen kids left so hannah got a lot of one on one dancing time with each and every character. Very very very cool
Hannah and pluto cut a rug together for the longest time. He's got some good moves for a dog lol
Hannah and Minnie
One of the little einsteins characters... can't remember her name. check out her hat lol. they had guys there making balloon creations and they made her a hat haha
Now today we are off to epcot. going to have lunch at the Rose Crown Pub in the Great Britain pavillion in the world showcase. who k nows what other magic we will find today

Oh man I really got behind on posting photos lol
It's going to take me a while to finish with the trip report since so much happened on this trip. This was really the most amazing trip we've ever had. I know I said that about the last one lol but this one took the cake. We had so many unexpected magical moments that went above and beyond.
ZONKED out after the dance party at Hollywood studios
waiting for the bus to Epcot we made some new friends. Just starting chatting with a family that was there (as is typical when at Disney world... you really meet some of the most amazing people and we met plenty. even invited one older couple to attend church with us when they visit lancaster county every year and exchanged numbers lol). So we snapped a photo of the two little ones. the boy can't figure out why he is supposed to pose for a picture with this strange girl he doesn't know hahaha
this morning we were at epcot and we had lunch reservations for The Rose and Crown pub in the Great Britain Pavillion in epcot. the food was INCREDIBLE. will definitely eat there again. But before lunch we were milling around the area waiting for check in when suddenly these big wooden gates opened and a bunch of characters came down. chip and dale ran up to Hannah and took her hand and headed back up the hill with her... later motioning for me to follow lol. I have the chip and dale photos somewhere on here but can't find them now but here are the other characters she got to meet up there
Mr Penguin again (from Mary Poppins)
Meeting goofy for the first time officially.
doing a twirl

Donald duck
Curtsey for Donald
PLUTO
They were dancing in this shot lol

this was so cute. Plutos "handler" told Hannah that pluto likes to be scratched behind his ear. when she gave him a scratch he started thumping his leg like dogs do when you hit the right spot lol
A curtsey and a Bow
Alice was next (after lunch). this was a first meet and greet for this character too
Then they practiced their curtseys. Alice told her she needs to stand with her heels together, toes out and with a big voice say "YES YOUR MAJESTY" (this is a scene from the movie lol)
We met Mary poppins... again lol

another first... Marie from The Aristocats
Then we did "Pick a Pearl" in the Japan Pavillion. Very cool. it costs $15, you go in and you pick an oyster out of a tank and then they do a little ceremony for opening the oyster and finding your pearl. Hannah got an 8mm silver blue pearl. it's gorgeous... and HUGE lol. I'm going to make it into a keepsake jewelry piece
Snow white again. and another kiss on the cheek. this girl had lipstick on her face EVERYDAY lol The princesses were always covering her in kisses. one day she had 4 different kisses lol

the kiss
Hannah and her prince charming (she told me that Daddy was her prince and my prince is Mike... a guy Brian works with LOL)
Mickey.... I can't believe how much this girl has blossomed in only a few months. last september she wanted nothing to do with Mickey and many other characters that weren't wearing dresses lol. this trip she was up for anything and wanted to meet everyone.
the curtsey and the bow
Pluto again
Minnie... again lol
Pocahontas and Meeko
the curtsey... my particular favorite from this meetup was the p hotopass photographer. her name is Sam and you can tell just from the photos how into her job she is. one of those things that really sets Disney apart from other theme parks. We keep track of the cast members that are outstanding and add that little something extra to our trip and we write a letter giving them all special mentions. they deserve it
Safari Minnie
She signed Hannah's stuffed minnie... definitely a keep sake
Thumper and Miss Bunny
Donald
More dancing lol

family shot... the better shots are on the photopass. we preordered the CD (so we saved money... got it for $99 instead of $150) and we have 630 photos from photopass this trip lol. they got the better family shot for this one but I haven't had the CD shipped yet... I have some editing to do. so for now you get the shot from our camera lol
This is the one that shocked me the most. I can't believe she wanted to meet Rafiki. I thought she would be freaked ou t by him but NOPE... one of the best photos of the trip was during this meet and greet lol
POOH BEAR

The next morning was Bippity Boppity Boutique. This is really cute. the stylists are Fairy Godmothers in Training and the little ones get their hair done, nails and a little bit of makeup. you can get the entire outfits done too but Hannah has more than enough princess costumes that we only needed hair, nails and makeup. The princess transformation begins by picking the hairstyle
Hannah went simple and traditional with a Cinderella style
Next they pick nailpolish
blowing kisses
isn't she adorable
after hair and make up... they get a little pixie dust
she was thrilled
Another unexpected touch of magic... Hannah was chosen to open the World Of Disney store that morning.
they announced her name, age and where we are from and named her an honorary citizen of disney world
taking down the rope
After she took down the rope she announced "NOW OPEN" to a round of applause
and then she walked through the crowd of Cast members applauding her and gave her best princess wave. The wave goes "Elbow Elbow Wrist Wrist" lol
