Day Three at Disney World

// September 23rd, 2009 // General

Our third day at Disney started with breakfast with Pooh and friends at the Crystal Palace, before Ally rode Thunder Mountain at least four times in a row. Even the staff was making jokes about giving her a frequent rider prize. It was time to find a ride that Ian liked, so we were off to Pirates of the Caribbean and took in the Jack Sparrow show afterwards going on nearby. Ally met Wendy next, and while she and Eric waited in line to meet Jasmine and Aladdin, Ian and I rode Aladdin’s Magic Carpets.

After lunch at Starlight, Ally and Eric went to meet Ariel, while my boy and I got completely soaked playing in the water in the grotto. Ally also stopped to meet the Fairy Godmother on our way back to the lodge for naps. Ian had no desire to sleep, and instead kept serenading us with, “yo ho, a pirate’s life for me.” Of course he passes out right as Ally wakes up from her nap, so Ally and I took the opportunity to go swimming while the boys napped.

Before we knew it, it was time to get in costume for the Halloween party and dinner at Tony’s Restaurant, which has a fabulous pumpkin spice cheesecake. We came out to find that it had rained and our stroller was soaked, as luck had it on the one day we left our ponchos in our room. After purchasing new ones, we were off to trick or treat throughout the park and watch the Halloween parade, during which Ally was greeted by a pirate and Captain Barbosa came to chat a fellow pirate, our own Ian.

After dancing it up with Stitch, Goofy and Pluto at their Halloween dance party, we watched the special fireworks display before heading home to the lodge and some much-needed sleep.
