Disney Date Night!

So we learned on our first trip to Disney with a kid that we needed to bring a grandparent along!  That being said, we brought two grandparents along this time...one for each child! :)  Since we brought the grandparents with us, we got a date night!  We got to go on several dates the first time we went, but we knew with two kids we couldn't be greedy this time.  We decided for our date night we would go to our fave place without kiddos...Epcot!  

 

Getting ready to go!

We got to Epcot about an hour before they closed.  We headed straight to Mexico for some yummy margaritas!  We then decided to do what most normal adults would do on a date night in Disney--visit the Character Spot! ;)  The best part about this was there was no waiting in line because everyone was too busy staking out their spots for the nightly fireworks show.

I believe we were talking about my new Mickey Mouse earrings and how much he loved them. :)

 

 

We decided we didn't want to fight the crowd after Illuminations, so we ducked out of Epcot early and headed to the Magic Kingdom.  We got there about 30 minutes before their nightly fireworks show, so you can only imagine how crazy crowded it was!  We decided to skip the fireworks show since we would inevitably be watching the show later in the week with the girls.  Instead, we found this great little "club" they had set up in Tommorowland.  There was a DJ, bright lights, and loud music...my idea of a fantastic time!  The best part was there were even characters on the stage and in the crowd dancing the night away.  I even managed to get my non-dancing husband out there with me for a little bit.  SO fun!

 

Doing whatever the DJ told us to!

 

After the club, we headed over to Ariel's Grotto where we only had to wait a minimal amount of time to meet this princess in her new home.  Ariel and I had a good talk, and I promised her I would bring my two girls back to see her the next day. :)

 

 

We then decided to go check out Belle's new area of the park.  We got talked into going to Enchanted Tales with Belle.  This is a new attraction to Fantasyland in which participants are chosen to reinact the night that Belle and the Beast fell in love.  Jovan was chosen to be in the play as a knight.

 



After most of the parts were chosen, they asked for volunteers...obviously, I waived my hand!  I was chosen to play the part of the duster.  I had to swish around the room and say "Oh La La!".  Keep in mind it was about 11 p.m. when we were doing this.  I won't spoil the attraction, but we did get to have some time with Belle in the end.  Such a fun time!

After this, we headed back home to get a precious few hours of sleep before getting up and doing it all again!  So grateful for date nights...especially ones in my most favorite place on Earth! :)
