Cruise 2011 - Magic Kingdom!!!

We woke up on Friday so excited to go to the Magic Kingdom (Sammie's favorite).  We all put on our Mickey Mouse shirts and away we went.  Toon Town is closed so they have the princesses at the entrence to main street which so we decided to go ahead and see the princesses first.  Cinderella loved Samantha and Samantha loved Cinderella and Belle.  We did have drama at the very begining of the day...as we were walking out of the princesses house you have to walk through the store in order to get back in line for Mickey Mouse.  Disney in all of its wisdom decides to put the large purple lollipops right in the middle of the door as you exit.  Samantha wanted a lollipop and no was not an acceptable answer although Mommy and Daddy tried.  I actually sat there and watched a total of 5 kids have this same melt-down over these same lollipops as they exited the store.  Disney knows what they are doing and they do not even miss the little details even lollipop placement.  The lollipop will be seen throughout the day and she actually really enjoyed the lollipop althogh it did cost her an opportunity to see Mickey and Minnie (the lady in charge would not let her go up and see them with the lollipop)...however Mickey was a sport and got out of place to come over and see Samantha ask for part of the lollipop give her five, hug, & a even a kiss....thanks Mickey!!!  We walked around the park and then headed to Tomorrowland, home of Buzz!  Samantha and Daddy rode together while Mommy rode in front of us; although even with Sammie daddy took home the prize for highest score (Sammie actually scored 200 by herself somehow).  We went to eat lunch in Pinochhio restaurant, which allows you to over-look It's a Small World.  One of the host of the restaurant came over and asked Samantha to hold up a sign that said do the chicken dance and she actually got people to do it (see videos).  We then headed to a celebrate party on main street and Samantha danced and danced (again video).  Samantha was determined to not take a nap but while waiting for Pirates of the Carribean she crashed in daddy's arms and slept through the entire ride...off for ice cream and Samantha is asleep (sorry Sammie).  That said she woke up just in time for another parade and this time was able to get the attention of alot of characters that came over to say hey to her...she thinks she is pretty special when they do that and gives the biggest chuckle.  We got a call that Aunt Rae Rae had made it safely in town and we decided that we would meet her and Briella and Kaya (and friends) at the Chip and Dale Campfire Sing-a-long at Camp Wilderness.  It was so good to see Kaya we just wish we could stay another day so we could see her in the park and experience it with her.  After having so much fun at the Chip and Dale party we told them goodbye and wished they had a magical day tomorrow at Disney.  Off we went to get on the boat and the plan was we would watch the fireworks from the marina (although there was a slight problem as we were waiting on the wrong bus to take us to the marina).  We did make it just in time to snap a picture of the finale of the fireworks.  As we are going back on the boat we are talking about how much fun we had and Paige says do you want to go back in the park...we ask Samantha who said yes so back in the park we went.  We rode a couple more rides including Snow White which mom thinks will not be there the next time we go back in September.  It was 11:05 and we are walking down Main Street to get out of the park and Samantha is going no daddy more; more daddy.  By 11:18 we are on the boat and she was knocked out in my arms...god I love that kid!!!
