Summary
We pick up where we left off last time, as Michelle is seen dancing with a steel drum band, whose leader says she's not jealous or bossy for becoming Princess of the Day, even after running away from her sisters and Kimmy after they chose not to listen to her anymore or ride the carousel an 11th time after going on it a whopping 10 times in a row (though she wanted to go again). Snow White, who's standing by watching the performance, shows up and understands Michelle's problem, so she takes her to the Sleeping Beauty/Cinderella castle for a private chat.
As everyone else is searching for Michelle, those who do not know she is missing are doing their own thing. Jesse and Joey do their radio show, and it turns out that Joey is afraid of sharks, so he's reluctant to swim out of the tank with Jesse so they can get out of the aquarium.
Later, Becky is waiting for Jesse at the dock, and by this time, he is 45 minutes late.
Even while Michelle is having a tea party with Snow White and all her other favorite Disney characters (her second wish), she still wishes she had not wandered off, because now she misses her family. And right on cue, Danny, Vicky, D.J., Stephanie, and Kimmy show up, all led by Mickey. D.J. speaks for all 5 of them, saying they were all so worried about her and her safety. Danny explains to Michelle that she shouldn't have wandered off by herself, and that it was wrong for her to be so bossy, with Vicky adding that a good princess is fair and kind and that's what makes people like her. Heeding those words and taking that advice, Michelle makes it up to them by inviting them to her tea party, and they all accept.
Becky is fed up with waiting for Jesse so she heads back to the hotel. He shows up at the dock, and she's not there. He then goes to the hotel where he plays a song for her on the piano and apologizes for being late. She accepts, and they go on the lagoon cruise.
While everyone else is enjoying Disney World's rides, an Aladdin-themed parade, and a stage re-enactment of Raiders of the Lost Ark (the latter 2 at Disney-MGM Studios/Hollywood Studios, where D.J. again mistakes Indiana Jones for Steve), Stephanie goes back to the hotel where Joey is, because she's still furious at Michelle for cheating her out of a chance to become princess for the day. Steve shows up in Orlando to be with D.J., who is happy to see him. As the inspirational music plays, Joey talks to Stephanie, and tells her that he understands that she feels cheated because of Michelle, but she cheated herself out of a lot of fun by going back to the hotel while everyone else was enjoying the rides.
With Snow White's help, Michelle shows up. Feeling bad about cheating Stephanie, she surprises her with her third and final wish. It is that Stephanie gets to be the princess for the rest of the day, and Michelle hands the crown over to her. She even gets to ride on a parade float that was originally reserved for Michelle while she was princess for the day.
Because of the unselfish thing Michelle just did, the whole family can ride in the parade with her and Stephanie. Cinderella also rides on the float with them, with Stephanie dressed as her, and Michelle as Snow White, who also joins them on the float. Even Steve and D.J. get to ride on a float as well. That evening, Jesse's gig with the Rippers is a success as Joey broadcasts it live to KFLH. Jesse then performs the song "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes", which he says is "for dreamers everywhere". Danny finally asks Vicky to marry him, and this time he is not interrupted, and she accepts the proposal. The episode ends with a shot of the Sleeping Beauty/Cinderella castle, complete with fireworks (which continue going off as the audience applauds and the EP credits appear and then disappear as the camera continues to zoom out to reveal the whole castle).
