Hey Goose!: A Magical Halloween Part 4

Monday, October 31
Oh Goosey, I must say that this was our best and worst Halloween thus far. When we got back to the hotel on the 30th and ordered some dinner you told me your ear was hurting. Within an hour you were crying and yelling out in pain whenever you moved your head or tried to sleep. Daddy and I were very worried about you and when you seemed to be getting worse we decided that you needed to be seen by a doctor. Without a car it made things a little difficult, but I talked to the very nice and super helpful lady at the front desk and she gave me some information. After debating the pros and cons of our options, we called a house call doctor to some see you. The emergency room was very far away and we would have to wait for a cab, we hoped that the house call doctor would be able to see you more quickly. I think it was one of the better decisions we've made! The doctor was nice, quick, and she had the medicine that you needed with her. You managed to fall asleep around 1am, before she arrived and she even did the exam with you asleep. We asked her if we needed to skip our plans at the Magic Kingdom but she suggested we take you to the park to distract you from the discomfort in your ear. So, thats exactly what we did. Plus, we were very relieved not to have to cancel your big surprise!!

The Fairy Godmother issued an invitation to the BBB just for Princess Isabella!

We got up around 7am so we were all pretty tired, but too excited too sleep anymore. Once we were all dressed, you realized that it was Halloween and we didn't have a costume for you!! I'm sorry we tricked you, but I think it made your surprise that much better. To calm you down I told you that we would have to see if we could find a costume at the park that day, but I wasn't sure if we could. I think you were still a little upset, but you weren't feeling well enough to argue too much. It was magic when we got there though!! Your appointment was first thing in the morning so we were on our way straight to the castle, but we ran into the Fairy Godmother! We stopped to chat and I explained our costume predicament. I told her how bad I felt for not getting you a costume and how sad your were that you wouldn't have a costume for trick or treating that day. What are Fairy Godmothers for?!? Of course, she knew just what to do. She told me that there were some Fairy Godmothers in Training working in the castle that day and they would be more than happy to help us!! But you weren't just getting a costume, oh no, you were to become a REAL princess for the whole day! At this point, I was so much more excited that you. You were pretty thrilled, but you weren't feeling great still and I knew what was coming!!! I started crying as soon as we walked in to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. The Fairy Godmothers in Training were sure to keep me supplied with kleenex so I wouldn't blubber all over your beautiful new Princess things. First things first, you had some shopping to do in the Royal Closet. Of course, you chose the Cinderella dress since she is your favorite.

Shopping in the Royal Closet

You were so happy! It was great, the only way it could have been any better was if you hadn't been feeling sick. Once you picked out your dress, one of the FGT's placed an order with Tinkerbell to make your dress and shoes!! We went into your Royal dressing room and put on your new dress and shoes. They were perfect! Hair, nails, and makeup were up next. Daddy and I got to sit and watch your Princess transformation, silly Mommy cried almost the whole time. (Except for that gross moment when I had a bloody nose. Please excuse Mommy's grownup words on the video when I realized what was happening. I'm so sorry, I completely forgot that Daddy was video taping...) The Royal Photographer got some great pics while you were getting all done up, especially when it was time for the Pixie Dust!

Still not feeling too great...

So prim and proper!

Princess Isabella!

After your appointment at the BBB, we stopped by to chat with the Fairy Godmother again. She wanted to see how well the trainees were getting. She was impressed! We ran into the Evil Stepmother and the Ugly Stepsisters too, they weren't very nice until they realized that you weren't the real Cinderella.

Discussing the BBB with Fairy Godmother

After your chat, we had to run off to your photo shoot! We did a lot of running, actually, because it was raining most of the morning and we didn't want to mess up your dress or your hair! The photo shoot was awesome, you had a great time modeling and the Royal Photographer that worked with you was so amazing. I absolutely LOVE Disney for stuff like that! Their attention to detail really made your special day that much more magical. Here are some of the magical shots of you:

Princess Attitude

Dreams Come True!

You loved being a princess all day. Everyone called you Princess and made sure to treat you as such. While we were standing in line for the parade a funny couple standing close to us let you stand in front so you could have a better view. You were so regal about thanking them and then stepping forward to see that they giggled and commented that you must be French. heehee. You and I rode the teacups and we got to meet lots of characters! Daddy was the perfect Prince for you all day, too. After all the rides and meeting characters and some trick or treating (holy cow you got A LOT of candy), the day was slowly winding down. Daddy and I had one more surprise for you! We had reservations for dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table: the restaurant inside Cinderella's castle!! Several Princesses were there too! Cinderella greeted us when we walked in and you got some pictures taken with her. Then we were seated for dinner while Belle, Snow White, and Aurora walked around mingling with everyone. You got pictures and autographs from all of them. Go Disney for making Mommy cry again, too! At your place setting at the table was a wand and a star. Before we were served the lights went down and the maitre d announced that it was time for the wishing stars. You followed the instructions very closely and held you wand over your star while thinking super hard about your wish. Then, when the time was right, everyone said the magic words, "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo" rang out through the castle and all the lights went out while the wishing stars flashed up higher and higher. Belle came by and asked what you had wished so hard for and you told her, "I wished that I could be a princess every day, not just today!" She tried to explain that you already are a princess, but I don't think you quite believed her. Dinner was delicious then it was time for the fireworks!! It was such an amazing day, here are some extra pics:
