Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Walt Disney World in the Castle

Book months in advance!

We booked this at the tip of a friend who had been to Disney World a few months before us. I'm so glad we did! I chose the package where she had her hair, nails and makeup done. It was about $70. We took the Cinderella dress and she changed there. You can also choose to buy a package where you also get the complete outfit, but I thought that was a little pricey (around $190 I think)

There are two locations for the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique - one in the Castle and one at Downtown Disney. We did the one inside the castle.

A "fairy godmother in training" comes and takes them to their salon station. Very cute. She chose her hairstyle, makeup and nail colors and comb color. She LOVED it!
 
Tomorrow... Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party featuring the Boo To You parade.

P.S. Yesterday was my 500th blog post. Kind of cool!

Welcome to the Magic Kingdom

We were there for the opening of the park and it was awesome!

Animal Kingdom Lodge - Kidani Village

Here is a quick tour of part of our two bedroom suite hotel and view from our balcony.

Our room was at the end of the wing. Just when you think you're there turn about 10 more wings. These hallways might have been one of the favorite things to the kids. They would just run and run and run and run.

Can't really argue with any of those.

I went to the grocery store...

on Sunday afternoon and then Carter had a meltdown because he and Anna were fighting over who got to push the cart and they pushed it into the produce holder, so then I said neither of them could push it. I ended up leaving a cart with two lemons, a bag of romaine lettuce, one zuchinni and a bag of new potatoes in a cart by the front door where a huge bin of apples greeted the customers. I fully intended to go back and finish shopping [to make salmon + potatoes (hence the lemons), kabobs (hence the zuchinni) and pasta shells and salad (hence the romaine lettuce)] but instead I got home, was very sleepy, sat down on the couch and fell asleep for an hour. When I woke up Kevin was making  chinese from a frozen meal in a bag from Sam's club. So it's clean out the fridge and freezer week.

Sorry to whoever at Price Chopper had to put away my random cart.

Fall Festival

Candi and I ran 12 miles on Saturday. Yay! We felt awesome. The weather was great and we surprisingly didn't run out of anything to talk about even after running for more than 2 hours and just seeing each other the night before.

I then took Anna to swimming lessons (she didn't pass level II so we are taking it again) and Sam and Candi watched Carter for me while Kevin was working. We all then met up for lunch and fun at the fall festival. It was a good afternoon with friends!

  

Then I went home and took a nap :)
