A great time was had by all at Disney. I think Stephen was most surprised by what a great trip it was. At one point he mentioned needing more time to get it all in. It really is hard to do it all in 4 days. But we sure tried.
By the way, this is a great time to go to Disney. The crowds were minimal. The longest we waited for any ride was 20 minutes. And walked right up to some.
This is not the best family shot, but one of the few I got. And as you can see from our attire, it was COLD!!!! We didn't exactly pack right and had to re-wear nasty park smelling clothes over and over.
Of course the highlight for Allie was meeting the Disney Princesses. We met them all....Belle, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Jasmine, Snow White, and Ariel.
We had breakfast with the princesses in the castle. Allie never took her eyes off of them and knew where each princess was at any given time.
S and his dad (and Gabe drinking a soda) at Magic Kingdom. Sorry you missed your big softball game Pappy, we were sure glad you decided to stay!
A HUGE thank you to Pappy/Grammy and Pop/Maw-maw. We appreciate your help with the kids over this trip. I don't think S and I could've/would've wanted to attempt this without you.
One rainy day the grands took the kid back to the hotel around 4:00 pm. S and I decided to brave the elements and head over to Epcot. We had a nice romantic dinner at Mexico and hit up the adult rides over there. (Note: DO NOT RIDE MISSION TO SPACE! I had no idea what it was, took the "extreme" option and almost had to use the barf bags that were conviently stowed directly in front of you on this ride.)
Anyhow, thank you grands!
This was Allie's favorite ride. We rode it 4 times?
With the exception of the fantasty land rides at Magic Kingdown, the minimum height requirement for most rides is 40". Allie is 39". She was a sport though and didn't seem to mind.
We are already planning our next trip back....when Gabe is at least 40 inches.
Speaking of Gabe....this little guy was a trooper! We drug him and pushed him for 4 full Disney days, and he did awesome!
"It's a small World" put him to sleep 2 of the 4 days around naptime. It did other members of our party too. But not Allie, she was the one singing.
One of my favorite parts of the trip was the Spectromagic Parade. Check out the evil queen staring us down. It looked like she was looking directly at me and she held this pose until she passed where we were sitting.
I will never forget Allie sitting in my lap making her little light up tinkerbell (thank you daddy) fly around in the air.
The girl was loving everything about Disney!
I was loving watching her eyes light up in amazement.
Walt - you are one brilliant man. Thank you for the memories.

How fun! Makes me excited about taking ours in a couple of years. Glad ya'll had a great time. The pictures are so cute! :)
I LOVE THIS POST!!! Thank you for filling us in on the trip! And I'm SO SORRY i didn't make sweatshirts for your kids instead of t-shirts : ) I saw Allie's in one shot with a long sleeve shirt under it, so I guess it was okay. I had no clue it would be so cold! When I was there a few weeks ago the weather was perfect.
Either way- so gald your trip was magical!!!
Glad you had a nice trip, and it looks like Gabe and Allie had a lot of fun.
Allie, Emily wants to know if you got to meet Tinkerbell and the rest of the fairies.
Fun! Glad you all had a good time!
