Disney Trip 2014 - Day 6

We signed Jocelyn up for a kids race as part of the Princess Half Marathon weekend.  She was so excited and did a great job.  She wanted mom to run with her - or at least that is what she said until the race started and then she was off, completely focused on the finish line and not paying attention to whether I was still next to her and ran right by Mickey who was giving high fives right before the finish line.  She got her finisher medal and some point after the race on the way back to the car she fell and hurt her knee.  She limped for hours after that and made a very big deal about running the race and then hurting herself.

After the race we headed over to Magic Kingdom for some Princess time.  We met Merida first - who was so much fun to meet and interact with. 

Jocelyn wanted to change into her Rapunzel dress before we met Rapunzel - so that's why there is an outfit change between these sets of pictures. 

I'm certain we rode some rides and did some other things than just meet Princesses - but  can't be certain.  I know we ate lunch at Liberty Tree Tavern and this was my first experience eating here and it was really good.

Let's meet some more characters....

I think this is the day that Mom and I saw two families getting into it over a stroller.  One family accused the other of stealing their umbrella stroller - I'm talking about one of those $10, flimsy fold up ones from Wal-Mart.  There was no identifiers on the stroller and I'm sure the identical stroller was sitting somewhere nearby.  There was some cursing from the accusees but the accusers were relentless and were not going to let it drop.  The Disney Cast Member that was working in the area (I believe he was on the janitorial staff) was trying to handle it but you could tell he wanted the Disney security guys to get there ASAP.  Anyways, it was very interesting how one little thing can set some people off.  On our last trip I accidentally took someone else's stroller - it was identical to ours and when I realized it was the wrong one I immediately took it back and the people were there looking for it and I apologized profusely and it was no big deal.  Everyone just laughed it off - because it happens.  In my defense, it was really dark in that stroller area of Epcot and it was already night time.  Oh well.

I think we headed back to the hotel to relax and have a early evening in - Melanie had to be up super early the next morning for her 10K Race.  This may have been the night that we got Chick Fil A and ate in the cabin.  It was really nice to have the space to be able to do that and let the babies play in the living room area and be out of their stroller.
