I am going to attempt to write up Saturday evenings Wish trip events but I say attempt because I have a sassy, little, Warrior Princess on the floor next to me playing with her trains and cars.  Let's see how much time she gives me before we have a "train emergency" that requires "Mami HELP!".

So head to the Magic Kingdom and straight to Mickey and Minnie Mouse.  One can never get too many hugs from THE Mouse family!  Then we headed to see the Princesses and the Fairies.  I can't post pictures of this until we receive our Photopass CD from Disney.  I have ordered it but it has not arrived.  I think we were having too much fun that we forgot to take our own pics...we had everything on video. 

Well, a Sweet surprise when we entered to see the Princesses...since it was a Wish trip we did not have to wait in lines we were escorted from the back door and we did not have a lot of time to check everything out...when we got to Princess Belle we realized it was the SAME Princess Belle we met in Norway and she remembered Savannah....oh...they had a nice time chatting...Belle was BEYOND sweet!  I can't wait to get the Photopass CD.  OOHHHHH!!! Another amazing thing Disney is doing for Wish families is giving them the Photopass CD for free!  Normally it is $149 for CD but now we have all of the pictures (and they took tons) taken by the Disney photographers....oh...my scrapbooking heart goes pitter patter just thinking of it!!!

"Hi Ya Mama" is what she is saying as she is twirling and whirling!  Between the Tea Cups and driving the cars (giving her father whip lash) she was like the energizer bunny!!!

Well, we had dinner and then watched the parade of lights....so very cool!  We could not believe how fast time went but soon enough it was 1 am!!!! So off to the Villa we go....

We take the monorail to get back to the parking lot........

 

Have I mentioned my DREAD of heights and enclosed places??????  Apparently I am not the only one with this quirk...

We were almost at the Grand Floridian stop and the monorail STOPS and the power goes out.....uhhhhmmmmmm.......that wasn't as bad as when we realize this is not the norm....the pilot gets on the intercom after about 10 minutes to announce that the computer system has failed and Disney is getting the back up computer .... "This has never happened before"...

Okay....so then 30 minutes go by and he tells us that we can the windows aka a tiny little slat that will allow oxygen in but no air...it was getting so hot and we were so grateful it was not the middle of the day.

Robert...he is super calm ... Me .... calm on the outside ONLY.

Yeah...about 45 minutes into it the monorail starts swaying to the side ... the pilot gets on and asks people to NOT knock out the doors help was on the way...okay...now we have people panicking in the other cars...not good!!!

Well, we did manage to get out without plummeting to our deaths ... Phew!  Who knew Disney had tractors ready to pull monorails???  Turns out there were 6 monorails stuck that morning...all fully loaded!  We were actually the first ones off at about an hour....

Here is calm Super Papi with Savvy standing by the broken down monorail and the tractor...

I have to say that Disney is amazing!  This was obviously not planned but I think they are so detail oriented in making people happy...Disney sent Savvy a picture autographed by all of the Princess with a note just for her along with passes so she can return and visit the princesses at another time because she was stuck in the monorail...how cool is that?!  This was so generous of them.
