Disney Dreams


We had our first official vacation as a family in April this year to Disneyworld! And what a vacation it was, perfect! We had the best time ever. The girls loved all of the characters (although Audrey would only get close to the characters without masks on), dreaming of all the princesses they got to meet! The weather was perfect, although a little cool in the mornings, we didn't care. By the afternoon we had mid-70's temperatures which was absolutely beautiful! We stayed at the Disney's All-Star Movies resort and lucked out by getting a room in the Sheriff Woody building. The girls loved the pool with Mickey looking over them while they swam. What fun it was to be greeted with balloons and new Minnie Mouse stuffed animals while we waiting on our room to be cleaned...customer service was awesome here! Not one complaint from us...



Our first full day was at Animal Kingdom which was great for getting the girls used to being there. Spencer was such a great planner that we got to ride all the rides we wanted and still have time left over to see the great parade. The parades were our favorite! They had such fun waving to the characters as they walked by. The joy in their faces made us want to never leave!

The second and third day of our trip was at Magic Kingdom, every little kids dream place! We had such fun riding all the rides like It's a Small World, Winnie the Pooh, Peter Pan, The People Mover...and Spencer had fun on Space Mountain while the girls and I had our picture taken with Chip and Dale.

The last day we headed to Epcot...by this time we were all a little tired but still had a blast. This was the big finale...our dinner with severl of the princesses at Akershus in Norway. The girls thought they had gone to heaven, they didn't know what to think or do. Spencer and I got them outfits to match their favorite princesses so when they actually got to meet their favorite princess in matching dresses they thought they were big stuff!

Needless to say, we already know that we want to go back sometime soon! We are all HUGE Disney fans now. We cannot wait!!! Can we leave tomorrow???

love it love it love it.

Nothing like seeing a smiles on a childs face. And at Disney, having a smile on the parents face is a bonus. That place can get very hectic at times.
