Jasmine and Maddy

Brinn and Jasmine
It was a tough job getting everyone up at 7:00 am this morning.  Brinn was dragging pretty bad, but we eventually got her going and into her Jasmine costume.   She looked so cute!  Madison wanted nothing to do with dressing up, so she was wearing a princess t-shirt with a couple princess pins.  

Now, they had no idea breakfast was a character meal.  Brinn thought we were just going to look for Jasmine in Morocco after we ate.  We had a 9am priority seating, but got to the International Gateway about 8:20am. After checking a reservation list, they let us right in.   This was great.  We had World Showcase from the gateway to Norway pretty much to ourselves.  Lots of pictures with no people, and we took our time getting there.  When we did arrive we were still early, and they took us right in.  It is very nice inside, and perfect to host the princesses.  

The girls still didn't see the characters yet, but were starting to wonder...  They knew something was up.   After we had started eating, Belle came into a room that you could see from our table.  The girls saw her right away, and got very excited.  The manager came over and talked to both of them about seeing the princesses, and he even asked Brinn why she was sitting there, she was supposed to be up and signing autographs!  :-)   They even told us that Jasmine was here today.  We ended up seeing Belle, Mary Poppins, Snow White, Aurora and Jasmine.  When Jasmine finally came into view the girls were VERY excited.  Brinn had eatten next to nothing this morning - I think she was nervous about seeing Jasmine while wearing her costume.  All the Princesses had commented on how pretty she was, and that Jasmine would love the costume.  Jasmine finally arrived at our table, and she made of Brinn quite a bit.  She was also  great with Maddy who loves her too.  We got great separate pictures of both Madison and Brinn with their favorite princess.  

(!!Spoiler!!  Jasmine turned out to be the same Jasmine as we met at the castle last year!  We had really hoped this would happen, but did NOT expect it.  We had brought a picture of Brinn and her from last August.  Brinn signed it and gave her a copy.  It was a nice added bonus)

After Brinn gave her a picture we took last year, Jasmine said she thought she remembered us.  :-)   She asked us if we were going to the Magic Kingdom again, and invited us to stop by and visit her on Thursday afternoon.  There was even the possibility she could take a spin on the Magic Carpet ride with the girls!  After she left, we played this down a bit with the girls.  We don't want them getting all worked up over something that might not happen.  We will stop by there tomorrow and see what happens...  It was a wonderful time, and we really enjoyed this new Princess Breakfast.  Thanks Disney!!

We headed back and changed into swimsuits.  Its a beautiful day, and time for another try at a pool day.  We found another great spot to 'make camp' near the zero entry portion of the pool, and had more fun playing in the sand, water and lazy river.  Went over to the shipwreck pool for some small slide fun, and then back to the big pool for a couple more hours.  No early afternoon storms today!  Yeah!  

We ate a late lunch at Beaches and Cream.  Very good cheese burgers, some onion rings (delicious) and then shared some ice cream.  The Mudslide Sundae was fantastic.   After the breakfast and lunch we had today, I don't think we'll need dinner tonight!  Just a snack in the room will be plenty!  ...mmmm...leftover pizza!  :-)

Headed up to the room for a little nap, and some Trip report writing.  A big storm moved in, so we slept a bit longer than usual.

When we couldn't stand staying in the room any longer, we headed down to look around the resort store.  The kids found several items they wanted to buy, so we decided to hit downtown Disney instead.  The weather finally cleared up just as we headed down the road.

We hit all the Marketplace stores, and made a few purchases, but the items that the girls really wanted (Brinn a stuffed flounder toy and Maddy a Meg pin) were no where to be found.  What Maddy really wanted was an Aurora pin, but we didn't see one of those anywhere.  A CM told me the Aurora pins go faster than any other princess.  Oh well...

We finished up and got back to the resort store before it closed and the girls bought their items there using some of their Disney Dollars.  

Tomorrow is our last day at Disney.  We'll be doing Magic Kingdom during the day and Epcot in the evening.  Hope we can catch Jasmine near the carpet ride...
