For our first night, we thoroughly enjoyed Club Villain, but that was our only experience that day. So while this was our second day, it was our first full day in the parks. It was also Annie's Seventh birthday!
Hollywood Studios
Hollywood & Vine Breakfast
Annie lives by this Walt quote!
Handy Manny
Handy Manny was accidentally covering Annie's face so...
He went for it completely. 😂
Doc McStuffins
Hugs for the Docs and Dumbo
I guess I should stop here and introduce Dumbo for those who may not know him. Annie received him after her 7th brain surgery in 2012. I thought we would never have a break from those surgeries. Well, Dumbo turned 4 in September, and Annie didn't have brain surgery again until this past October. 4 years is a really long time considering Annie had 7 brain surgeries before her 3rd birthday!
BUT what about Dumbo? Well, when she got him in post-op I liked him because I have always liked elephants. She was just getting into to sleeping with toys, and he was the perfect size. I was protective of other toys in case she vomited in the night, etc. I liked that Dumbo could be a throw away toy. Boy was I wrong! Dumbo has since become a member of our family. If you ask Annie if she has siblings, she'll say she has 2 brothers- our dog Jersey and Dumbo. They are inseparable! Hence her bringing him to Disney!
A quick check up for Dumbo- he was a-ok!
Doc noticed it was Annie's birthday
We have a Doc book that says she is 6, but this Doc told us that she too was 7, so she must have had a birthday after the book was published. 😜 Needless to say, her being 7 too was very exciting for our Mini-Doc!
We're 7!
*day made already* (but it was just beginning!)

A quick photo op stop at Doc's Clinic
A check up for Dumbo!

The Disney Junior stage show
They let Annie meet the Cast Member from the show!
Meeting Doc at her Clinic
We match!
We both have stethoscopes!
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Just chatting
Cuddle time!
Doc sat down to show Annie that their shoes were matching too
The more I look at Annie's face in that pic, the more I love it! 😍😍😍
One more check up for Dumbo!
Dumbo's seam was wearing thin. Instead of repairing it perfectly, I took pink embroidery thread and made big stitches so now he as a Spina Bifida scar like Annie! Annie is telling Doc all about that! Side note- during the stage show above, Lambie gets a rip on her back and Doc sews her up. She ends up with a Spina Bifida scar too! 💛💛💛
Star Wars Time!
The Jawa was inspecting her wheelchair for spare parts to trade. 😂
Chewie💛
Showing off her Millennium Falcon bag
Buzz Lightyear
I die, y'all! 😍 In August she dressed as Woody, and Buzz was a little hurt. I told him we'd be back dressed as him!! This set, y'all! 😍😍😍Because of this, we are bringing a Jessie costume this trip! She'll meet the boys dressed as Jessie, then we will go to MK to meet Jessie herself!
Trip after trip, this meet and greet is always one of our favorites!
One of our favorite rides- Toy Story Mania!
Annie's last costume change at HS was the pink Ariel dress. After seeing the show in HS, we were heading to MK. BUT not before an incredible Magic Moment occurred!!!
We were told to wait after the show for a special surprise...
I was over the moon! Sadly, I wasn't prepared camera wise, but it was still so incredible!
This kid, y'all. 😜
This is what dreams are made of!
Magic Kingdom
Ariel with Sebastian and Prince Eric's Castle!
Meeting Ariel
Annie really hammed it up in this meet and greet! I really need to start videoing them!
I told you she was hamming it up! 😜
Annie matched Ariel's pose!
We are members of Disney Facebook groups. Over the years, we have ran into some members at the parks. This was the first year we planned to meet up with some friends! First up, J! J brought Annie a stuffed elephant!! Because of her love of Dumbo, Annie has developed a deep love for elephants!
Riding the Little Mermaid Ride
Riding Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
This was a cool moment! Annie is obsessed with 7DMT! Like, "getting on your nerves" obsessed. We rode it 10 times this trip! For those who are unaware, this is a super popular ride! So popular in fact that local passholders like J haven't been able to get Fast Passes for it and no on wants to wait 190 min for a ride, (no joke y'all!). When I heard she hadn't rode it, I asked Paul if he'd be willing to sit it out to let her take his spot, (we had a paper FP that was gifted to us at HS). While chatting with the CMs, they saw how obsessed Annie was and they allowed us to go a second time! So J got to ride it twice in a row for her first 7DMT experience! I was so excited! We can't wait to see J again on our upcoming trip!
Annie's 5th and final costume of the night was the Zarina costume I told y'all about on day 1. We had to carry those wings (and sword) all day, (you know, on top of the 4 costumes we carried 😜) but I'd say it was worth it:
Had to get a sword shot!
