Disney World 2015, Part 4: Pool Day + Cinderella's Royal Table!!! + Epcot

Each time we've taken the girls to Disney World, we've always gotten 4-day park hopper passes but we stay at Disney for a week..so we have a day or two of wiggle room in our schedule in case it rains or if we need a rest day. Each year, we have been SO thankful to have a rest day built into our trip..it has been greatly appreciated by the kids & grownups alike! And we still manage to have a lot of fun on our rest days, either at the hotel's pool or going to Downtown Disney or the Boardwalk.

We used our third day as a rest day and spent it at the pool, and it was especially fun b/c the Griffins were able to join us! But first, we had to make a pit stop at the breakfast buffet at our hotel which the girls LOVED b/c they got unlimited Mickey Mouse shaped chocolate chip pancakes! ;)

A little poolside lunch for Shelby & Leland :)

Naptime stories with Grampy

After naps, we had a low-key evening around the hotel--dinner, laundry, and some playground time! Our next day was a full day starting off at Magic Kingdom with breakfast reservations at Cinderella's Royal Table!! This was our first time ever eating here, and it was such a fun experience!! I'm so glad we were able to do it!

They give the all the kids princess wands and coloring pages at the tables, and Shelby was hard at work on her activity page. We kept having to tell her to stop coloring to look up when a princess was entering the dining room! ;)

The girls had so much fun telling Jasmine that they were going to be her & Rajah for Halloween! :)

After breakfast, we did a few rides at Magic Kingdom. We somehow convinced Hadley to ride the Barnstormers rollercoaster, and this was how she looked afterwards. ;)

Move It Shake It Dance & Play It Street Party

And of course, a visit to Edy's Ice Cream Parlor on Main Street!

We loved all of the amazing fall decor at Magic Kingdom!

After naps, we went to Epcot for the evening. It was waaaaay more crowded than we anticipated due to the Food & Wine Festival that was going on, and the other bummer was that Mulan was already gone for the day by the time we got there & we really wanted the girls to get to meet her. :(  We still had fun eating a quick dinner in Mexico & then doing a couple rides/shows, but we don't have any pictures to show for it! ;)
