After the happy birthday phone call from Goofy, they gave Ella this happy birthday pin.
This is the submarine for the Nemo ride.

Everyone loved this ride. Ella was mesmerized.
The Dumbo ride! We stayed up high during the entire ride.
The Pinocchio ride was a little scary for Ella but she felt brave and safe sitting next to uncle Jesse.
The Peter Pan ride. This is such a beautiful ride.
This princess part was a magical part for Ella and such a breath taking part for all of us. Ella transformed when she saw the princesses. It was as if she walked into another world. The first princess is Jasmine and I think that Ella was in shock. When she saw Ariel, she was so excited. Ariel loved her peacock necklace and Ella hung onto Ariel’s words. Ariel told Ella that if she saw Scuttle (a seagull from The Little Mermaid) to tell him that Ariel is waiting for him. Ella was obsessed with finding Scuttle the rest of the day and night. By the time she got to Belle, Ella was beyond happy. She told Belle that she knew that Belle taught the Beast how to love. Belle looked at Ella and said, “I can tell that I don’t have to teach you how to love…you already know”. Ella loved that. The only thing that would have made her day was if Cinderella was there.
We took a little break for hot chocolate and coffee and we saw a little parade that had the characters from the movie “Up”. Ella loved watching it from mommy’s shoulders.

Getting a little tire but still having a blast.
This was the Buzz Lightyear 3D arcade game. We all had on our 3D glasses. This was a lot of fun and Ella who was a little scared right before the right turned to me during the ride and said, “You’re right mama, this ride is fun!”
