1st Family Vacation ( sort of )

This year we experienced our first family Vacation. DISNEYWORLD !


 Our first stop was to meet the Princesses !





 The Parades are AWESOME !

 THE CASTLE !!!!
 Katie our Navigation expert !


The girls seeing the Castle up close for the first time !

Tea cups with Daddy right after Lunch lol

One of the girls FAV rides was Dumbo lol

 Animal Kingdom on the second day




 Back to Magic Kingdom

One of our Favorite rides as a family

 Using their mermaids lights daddy got them to light the way



 AMAZING Show ! Finding Nemo the musical !


 Hug your SISTER !


 Tomorrow LAND !



 Back to Dumbo. We rode a lot of rides the second night there during the fireworks show. We pretty much just hopped onto any ride we wanted without much wait at all. This was when we spent our time riding all the MOST popular rides.
 This was the waiting area for Dumbo. We just sat in here and played for a long time : )



 We rode this little roller coaster SEVERAL times. It's the goofy one over by Dumbo. It was the perfect size for our girls. I think we rode it 4 times in a row with them begging to go againy lol as Brooke calls it

 Had to get SOME kind of light up toy before the light parade. Daddy " Insisted " we get one for " Matthew" lol


 The inside of the castle had been shut down for renovation while we were there the first day. On the second night we were able to walk through and see the beautiful masonic walls depicting the story of Cinderella. It was AMAZING ! The art work alone is worth going to see.
 Cinderella's dress shop. The Mother in me was wanting to just let the girls go inside and pick out anything we wanted to get them. The thing about my girls is, they didn't really care. They were happy with their dresses and didn't care much about anything but new toys ! lol

 They sprinkle you with Fairy Dust when you come into the dress shop : )
 This is Maurice's cabin from Beauty and the Beast. This was the NEW Fantasy Land that was only letting people come in on this night to preview some of the attractions.
 Belle and her Mother

 I don't have any pictures of it, but a Mirror magically ( and I mean magically ) transforms and you are in the castle. Here they explain that we will preform a play for Belle. Or WITH Belle rather.

 ALL the kids get a part and because we didn't have enough kids, adults had to play too : ) Shawn got picked as a Knight LOL


 Brooke was Maurice
 Katie was Phillip the Horse .. I can't say enought about this experience. It was AWESOME. The girls thought we were not going to even see Belle. But here we got to meet her and actually spend a little time with her ! It was SO cool ! My husband went away excited and talking about how Cool this was and when you get him excited, it's a big deal !

 Guston's Tavern !


 YUM !

 The Little Mermaid Ride ! Again, since people didn't know it was open, we rode it I think 3 times. WE would just hop on and go !




 This place is MAGICAL at night !

 WE FROZE on this ride. It's all the way at the Top of Tomorrow Land. Brooke BEGGED all day and it was so full we would be in line for hours. But Thanks to staying on site and Magic hours, we got a  chance to ride it.
 The following day we went over to Universal for Star Tours !




 Bahahahaha Awesome !










 Lego Land !






 We helped build this by building blocks !





It was AWESOME
