Day 3 - part 1:
Today was a much more chilled day; with nothing much planned apart from seeing the Parade and Dreams again. We cancelled our reservation at Inventions for this evening as I just thought it would be a waste of money to go again when neither Rosebug or me ate much, so we decided to either get room service after Dreams or a Casey's hotdog and just do as we wish throughout the day.
We started off with our lovely breakfast; we were sat in the middle section between Inventions and California Grill which had a lovely view but also was towered over by the Castle Club breakfast - so we could see their characters roaming around etc. Talk about rubbing it in!

We filled up on croissants and pain au chocolat; yoghurt; ham and bread; cups of tea and DH had a hot breakfast again before popping back to our room to get wrapped up.
We then wandered into the park and spent the first part around Main Street and Fantasyland. First stop was a meet with Minnie and Duffy which was fab; as Rosebug had been asking when she could cuddle Duffy again.

After our cuddles we rode the carousel; Snow White; Peter Pan and Pinocchio and headed down to the Princess Pavillion for the first time this trip with a mild panic that we still hadn't met Aurora and our little girl had asked again if her favourite princess would be looking for her to give her a cuddle.
There was a bit of a queue, and Rosebug was cold so I sent the pair of them onto "It's a Small World" whilst I stood in the queue (phew) and chatted to some families (DH tells me off because I will talk to anyone!)
When they finished their first looooonnnnngggg ride around hell; sorry "It's a Small World" I was still in the queue, and the CM asked Rosebug if she would like to ride again - so she immediately said yes and DH's torture continued. Apparently she spent the whole ride asking him which country each section was; and did the same the second time round and he was like "It's Holland....STILL!" Although the Peru/Poo thing was allegedly still hilarious...

Just as they finished their second ride it was our turn to go in and we had the choice of Snow White or Cinderella. We had already met Snow White twice, so Rosebug opted for Cinderella who remembered her from her restaurant on Monday, which made Rosebug grin from ear to ear. They chatted for a bit about their beautiful dresses and posed for a very sweet photo:

We asked Rosebug what she would like to do next and surprise, surprise she decided she wanted to go on Pirates of the Caribbean again.
We have had a bit of a giggle trying to get the most ridiculous photo of us on this ride and today's photo was pretty stupid. DH outdid himself!

After we had a wander round we headed back towards Fantasyland and bumped into Tweedle Dum & Dee. Tweedle Dee had no queue but also very little people around him; yet Tweedle Dum had a big, managed queue?
We waited a few seconds until it was our turn to meet Dee, and had a lovely bit of interaction when he tried to steal her tiara.

After a photo and an autograph we decided against seeing Dum as there was still a massive queue and went for another wander; deciding to head down to Cowboy Cookout for some lunch. It is such a shame that this is no longer a character meal; it was nicely full and had live music; food was as good as we remembered and the atmosphere was great - just crying out for Woody and Jessie!
Once we finished our lunch we continued at our slow pace just soaking up the atmosphere and then noticed a few people waiting at the Jungle meet - so we lined up just as we noticed King Louie heading down. Rosebug thinks he is fantastic because he reminds her of her daddy. She said to him "You have the same beard as my daddy. Are you twins?!"
Which made me giggle and she got a high 5 off Louie!

She then asked if she could go and see the Dragon again; she had been acting out a scenario everytime we went in where as soon as the dragon stirred she would make us run out screaming shouting "Run for your lives! He's going to eat us!" So this time, as we ran out I screamed and hid - poor baby thought I had been gobbled up. She burst out laughing when I popped out and said "Mammy; that was mean. I thought you were dead!"
Such a morbid child!

As Rosebug was dressed as Aurora again today she wanted to go upstairs in the Castle; so we spent some more time telling her story and looking out at our favourite view: Fantasyland!
