Last Day @ Magic Kingdom

We spent our last day at Magic Kingdom again.  This was by far the kids (and mine) favorite park!  This was the day before New Year’s Eve and it was PACKED!!  The kids chose their favorite rides to ride again.  Sophie wanted to ride Peter Pan’s flight and SB rode Splash Mountain twice and even braved Space Mountain…she LOVED it! 

Here is a picture of our Resort…it was a really cool place!

Our big meal that day was at Chef Mickey’s.  We loved seeing Mickey and friends.  It was so much fun! 

Andrew was way more comfortable sitting with  MeMe keeping his distance from the characters.  He would wave to them but did NOT want his picture made!

Scott said his favorite character is Goofy!

Pluto is so silly signing his autograph on his nose!

We even got to celebrate Jason’s birthday (which is New Year’s Eve).  There was another birthday too.  The restaurant plays a special song and everyone waves napkins in the air…so fun!

being silly!

Late night ride on Aladdin…

Me and my girls…sad to leave!

I sure hated to say goodbye to the castle!

This was an awesome trip and we can’t wait to go back!!

Animal Kingdom

On our 3rd full day in Disney we went to the Animal Kingdom Park.  The kids enjoyed this park as well!  They got to see Mickey and Minnie dressed in their Christmas outfits!

We saw the Lion King show after we got autographs and it was amazing!  I didn’t get any pictures because Andrew was asleep in my lap. 

Here are the boys mapping out where our next stop would be!

We decided to go see “It’s a Bug’s Life”. The kids did not like it too much. I guess they didn’t like all the 3D action.

After we had dinner at this African Restaurant there was a band playing in the middle of the street.  Andrew LOVED dancing.  He was the center of attention!

We left Animal Kingdom around 6:00 that evening and went back to our resort to freshen up.  We decided to head to Downtown Disney for a little night life…wow it was so busy and crowded!

What a fun day!! 

Epcot

We stayed at the Animal Kingdom Kidani Lodge.  We had a huge balcony from our room and had the privilege of watching the animals. Here is our view from our balcony!

 

 

We spent our 2nd day at Disney at Epcot.  It is not as magical as Magic Kingdom but it was fun.  The girls had the opportunity to meet many of the Disney Princesses.  They loved this of course!

The first character we met at Epcot was Daisy!

Then we ran into Chip and Dale!

We went on the Nemo ride and then enjoyed seeing the sea animals…Sophie had a perfect view from Uncle Jason’s shoulders!

After we grabbed a bite to eat we explored several of the countries. Our first stop was Canada.

We met Princess Aurora!

It was time for dinner and we did not have a reservation for the evening but we got really lucky in Norway!  There was only a 20 minute wait and all of the Princesses were signing autographs!  Yay…the girls were pumped!

First we met Belle!

Andrew was not scared of the Princesses.  We let him in one picture!

Andrew loves his Viking hat he purchased in Norway! 

After dinner we were worn out and it had started to rain.  We purchased a few ponchos and headed back to our resort!
