Disney World!!!
Philip and I took Macy and Harper on their first trip to Disney World. It was, truly magical. Every second of it was so much fun, and we used every minute of every day. I couldn't help but smile to see our girls so happy and so mesmerized by everything. It was actually Philip's first trip too, which made it even more exciting! We went the week before Thanksgiving which was awesome. Our first three days, we did not wait in a line for more than 10 minutes. Unbelievable!! They loved all the rides, the characters, the princesses, the dessert, the parades, the shows, the hotel...
We surprised them with a box full of Disney stuff when we told them that we were going. The countdown was on.
Our hotel
We went to the Magic Kingdom the first morning. We were there 30 minutes before it opened, which meant we were one of the first people to enter the park. Oh, the experience was breathtaking-walking down Main Street with all the cute decorated shops, the Christmas lights, the girls seeing the castle for the first time, the music piped in, all the rides just waiting for us,... I believe this is where Philip told me to get ahold of myself. :)
Our first ride was Dumbo.
Winnie the Pooh
Peter Pan-one of Harper's favorite
It's A Small World-Harper's other favorite
While riding on the boat, Harper kept asking me why the little girls wouldn't wave to her. See!! Magical!!
The Haunted Mansion
They were so brave. Even with the hichhiking ghosts!
The Jungle Boat Cruise
Oh, the parades!!
After riding Splash Mountain-Macy's favorite. She rode it 4 times!
The experience of meeting the princesses was awesome!! The girls loved it.
We rode every ride in the park, with the exception of 2 or 3. We had a jam-packed day and the girls were such troopers. Not a complaint out of their mouth all day! Magical!
The second day we went to Hollywood Studios. The shows were incredible.
Harper ate about 7 boxes of popcorn.
This Beauty and the Beast show was one of the best!
Lots of snacks
The Tower of Terror!! Macy rode it twice, once with Philip, then with me.
They lit up the Millions of lights which was so beautiful!!!!
Philip and I got to ride the Rockin' Rollercoaster (his favorite).
The girls got to be the "Special Guests" at the Fantasmic Show which was so neat. We were the first ones in the stadium with special seating and snacks, and they got their names announced over the speaker!
Harper stayed awake for the show, then crashed right after!
The third day we went to the Animal Kingdom.
A Bug's Life
The Lion King-sooooo wonderful!!
We ran over to Epcot for lunch
And had lunch with the princesses!!! The girls were in awe.
After the Animal Kingdom closed, we went to the Magic Kingdom for the electrical parade at 9:00 that night. We were right on the front row and it was soooo worth it. We all loved it. It brought tears to my eyes. The girls thought it was incredible. Philip did too! Beautiful!!
Our last day we headed back to the Magic Kingdom to ride a few of our favorite rides and to meet the girls favorite princesses.
It was a trip we will never forget! Where was Lexi, you ask?? She was at Honey and Big Daddy's house. Best decision we made-not to bring a 2 year old! Lexi had no idea what she was missing. She actually thought she was getting the better end of the deal. Before we left, we would ask her, "Do you want to go to Disney World?" and she would yell, "NO! I go to Honey and Big Daddy's house!" Yep. I got it on video so she can't hold it against us one day. We look forward to our next trip when she will be old enough to join in the fun!!!
And before we left...
Macy's last soccer game
Harper's last day with her cast!!
