Wearing the shirts I made -- with the help of my friend Rachel!

Really, Caden?

Better...

We were a little Disney'd out this day but we snapped out of it...sort of.

Day 3: Magic Kindgom again and FAMILY!

On our third day of WDW - we had reservations to eat lunch at the Royal Table inside the castle.  At first I didn't think the boys would enjoy it but they were very excited after all again Disney did a great job making everyone feel included.  The boys received swords and played knights on the stairs.  They also didn't mind too much meeting the princesses.

 PG asked Cinderella where her glass slipper was -- she was ready for this question....

Our old friend Ariel

Bonjour Belle!

One Happy Little Princess!

The kidss really tried to pull this sword out....

We met up with some of my family that was also there - because it was such a large group we hung out at the hotel together and went to downtown disney but did our own things at the parks....
Me & Lisa

Day 2: Hollywood Studios

Overall I think this was our favorite park.  First, it was the least crowded, it also had the most rides and themes for everyone from Star Wars to Princesses and Disney Jr. 

 We learned that besides Ariel and Minnie, Presley LOVES Pluto

 Jake (Disney JR Show)

 Toy Story -- these guys were so funny!  I was so impressed at how well all of the characters were.  They knew their part for sure!

 And Jedi Training Camp - the boys LOVED this.  Caden was a bit disappointed he didn't get his picture made with Darth Vader - but he eventually got over it.

Our favorite rides included....

We also loved the Beauty & The Beast show and the Fanstasmic Light show was amazing.  We ended up coming to this park a total of 3 times!

Walt Disney World - Travels & Day 1

So, we kept it a secret!!!  The kids were so shocked and very, very excited to learn on Christmas morning that Mama Sue had sent them to Walt Disney World....we only wish she would be joining us...but know she has the best seat in the house!

All of the kids did great on the flight and enjoyed the entire process. 

I am sure we were not annoying to any other passengers....

I will say that more than one flight attendant complimented us on our well behaved and polite children.  So that was very much a plus...

After arriving and getting settled in, we retired early to rise and take Walt Disney World by storm....

Day 1: 12 hours of Magic Kingdom....proved to be truly magical for Presley, especially. If you have a young girl who loves Disney Princesses -- there really is no better place on earth. Presley really made the trip worth while for us by her reaction to the characters and even waited in line an hour to meet Ariel, her very favorite princess.

The boys enjoyed the rides, Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear, Peter Pan, and Big Thunder Mtn were the favorites. Everyone handled the crowds well and Heath even managed to run over a few people with our stroller. I'm overall very impressed with how organized the place is from parking to availability of staff. I do wish that they had a capacity on tickets sold though -- by noon Magic Kingdom was almost too crowded to even walk....but man, it was so worth it!
