Disney Day Three

We started out Day Three of Vacation with a water taxi ride over to Downtown Disney -- one of the best features about the Port Orleans complex. We decided that being a water taxi pilot would be Aaron's perfect semi-retirement job when we move to Florida in another 20 years or so...

We had a great time doing a little shopping. With Molly's birthday money, she picked out Cinderella gloves, purse, and glass slippers. Then, who should we run into at the Disney Store but Molly's friend Jodi from our first day!

She asked Molly if she had gotten her birthday phone call. When Molly replied no, Jodi immediately took Molly by the hand, led her behind the counter, and placed a call to Goofy - who then wished Molly a very Happy Birthday (gawrsh!). Then Jodi took Molly to find one of the Fairy Godmothers in Training from the Bippity Bobbity Boutique, who sprinkled a little fairy dust over Molly. (NOTE: the fairy dust takes MULTIPLE washings to get out of the hair of a little princess. I'm just sayin'...)

We ended our visit to Downtown Disney with a little Italian Ice (cherry, of course...).

In the afternoon, we wanted to visit the very fun pool at the French Quarter -- which features a giant serpent slide where you get to slide down the tongue! This honestly was the selling point of the hotel (for me, at least). And, as we should have known -- based on our visit earlier this summer to Great Wolf -- Molly decided that the slide was too scary and she would NOT go on it under ANY circumstances. Not even watching the 18 month-old babies go down it would convince her that it was not scary...

Look! Here goes Mommy! Look at how much safe, low-speed fun I'm having!!!

After that, we decided to have dinner at the Riverside section of Port Orleans... then cruise on back to bed.

Stay tuned for Disney Day Four -- Fun at Hollywood Studios!
