There was no way we could miss the lights and wonder of Cinderella’s castle and the Spectromagic Parade at the Magic Kingdom. My parade post and pictures are coming tomorrow but who could believe that a color changing castle would keep the kids’ attention for almost an hour waiting for the parade? I told Sophia and Miles that Flora, Fauna and Merriweather (Sleeping Beauty’s Fairies) were changing the colors while the princesses were getting ready in the castle. You can see there are lights on in the towers so it was a very believable story. It was even better when the fairies showed up in the parade! It was really an incredible thing to see. We got seats right across the bridge near the Liberty tavern. It was perfect.

Did you need to/have to/get to use their breast feeding rooms while there? I’m told they have them and I plan to use them when we go a few months after my baby is born…
.-= Christiana´s last blog ..2 yrs, 2 months, and I dunno… =-.
No time for that! What I did was use my itinerary to plan for being in a show (dark, air-conditioned) every couple of hours. Then I just used my bebe au lait cover and nursed away. I also usually nursed at lunchtime when we were sitting down. They do have baby rooms but most parks only have 1 and they are not always where you want to be! I wanted to be with my family and not in the baby rooms. All of the bathrooms had changing tables though and we did stop often for diapers and potty time!
The color changing castle holds my attention too!!! It’s so pretty!
I know some parts of the trip were just as good for me as for the kids. Hope you are doing well with all you have going on.
I love the Spectro Magic! And I love the fireworks. I took a video of it and daughter love watching it over and over again 🙂
P.S. I might see you and Zandi tomorrow.
That would be awesome! We are so excited!
I can only imagine how amazing that experience must be with little kids…just the fantasy and wonder of it all! I can’t wait to share that with my future kids. I am a kid myself when I go!
I wish I had gone sometime as an adult before I had kids. There is so much to do! I felt like a kid too!
I am your newest follower – found you on MBC! Your photos of the castle are beautiful! Visit me if you’d like at http://www.fatnutritionwriter.com
Oh, I can’t wait for the Disney page! My child isn’t even BORN yet and my husband is practically booking flights to Disney World.
GREAT idea telling your kids that Sleeping Beauty’s fairies were changing the color of the castle. As I’m sure you know, they change the color of her dress and her cake in the movie a ton of times!
Yep Sophia and Miles love that part of the movie! When is baby due? How exciting!
Due June 1st! But I’m practically sacrificing a goat in hopes that I go in about a week or two! Oh, and because of your giveaway, I bought myself a Bebe au Lait Hooter Hider. Excited to use it – especially right away in the hospital.
Very pretty. Gosh its been years since I have been there. Guess its time to go visit.
