Tuesday Character Greets

We love meeting all the characters.  We started Tuesday morning getting to meet Aladdin and Jasmine after we rode their magic carpets...




Evelyn really liked Jasmine's shiny pants and her jewelry





We then ran into Chip and Dale in Frontier Land.  Evelyn was asleep so she missed them...








A Happy 5 Years!

I just wanted to take a little break from all the Disney posts to say Happy Anniversary to us!  It's been 5 wonderful years!  It's all going by way too fast...

Day 3....Back to Magic Kingdom

We started the next day off great.  Lorelai was feeling better!!  She even started talking up a storm again.  Back to her old self.  We got up and walked to Magic Kingdom.  We picked a great time to go...had the park practically to ourselves!!!!  We didn't wait for anything.  It was amazing.

This is how we started off our morning.  Wake up, Lorelai!  Mommy and Daddy are ready for some Disney fun!  Poor baby is wiped out...but she woke up in a great mood and we had a good day.

Yes, we started at the carousel again...and then Lorelai attempted to pull the sword from the stone

She kept saying, "It's stuck!"
 and here is a video of the sword in the stone...

Some sword fighting after riding Pirates of the Carribean

checking out Rapunzel's tower
 here's a video of Lorelai dancing to the music in Frontier Land.  She is obviously feeling better.  At the end of the video you can see her try to blow me a raspberry...but she ends up hurting the sores in her mouth.  Getting better, but still not 100%





Poor Evelyn.  You aren't yet big enough to ride the cars, but she liked to watch them drive by

Lorelai is such a serious driver.  All business!

Back to the hotel for nap time.

Princesses!

We finished off the night on Monday meeting some very famous princesses.  They were so great with the girls and I think Lorelai was a little star-struck!

Ariel was first...we visited her in her grotto





Next we went to the Fairy Tale Castle to visit with the one and only, Cinderella!



I love this one!



And lastly we saw Rapunzel!

Lorelai liked showing off her pretty pink nails

And Evelyn liked playing in her long hair...



Getting her autographs...

Evening at Magic Kingdom

After Animal Kingdom on Monday we went back to the hotel for a nap.  When the girls woke up we were ready for more fun!  We decided to walk on over to Magic Kingdom to go on a few rides.  It was so nice that our hotel was less than a 10 minute walk straight to the park.  It was fun to see everything lit up at night.

The sun was just going down...all the lights were turning on.  Beautiful place at night!


Evelyn and Mommy road the teacups while Daddy and Lorelai drove some cars

Of course we had to go on the classic Dumbo ride

Again with the carousel









Animal Kingdom Character greets!

I love meeting the Disney characters.  It's probably my favorite part.  Here are some pictures of some of the characters we met at Animal Kingdom...

I loved meeting Pocahontas.  She was one of my favorite characters...

Lorelai pointing out Pocahontas on her princess shirt



Evelyn was asleep during this meeting...


Meeting Baloo and King Louie!



Evelyn loved King Louie





Day 2... Animal Kingdom

We woke up early and spent the day at Disney's Animal Kingdom.  It was a great day!  The first ride we went on was the African Safari.  The girls loved it... Such animal lovers!




Hippos

Alligators...Lorelai's favorite!

Evelyn enjoyed it too.


...but she soon passed out...




After the safari we explored the rest of the park.  It's a beautiful place.  A lot of vegetation and animals.  We saw a couple shows which I don't have pictures of but they were great.  One was The Festival of the Lion King and the other was a Finding Nemo show. 





I don't know why Lorelai has such an obsession with alligators but she loves them.  She is fascinated by all their teeth.
Evelyn was sleeping during some of the pictures so we have this beautiful picture of a scowling Lorelai in front of the Tree of Life

Animal Kingdom was a success!  Time to go home for a little nap before some more fun...
