Walt Disney World

Daddy and his crew. We had the best trip to Disney. We made the most of our 4 days at the parks. Everyone was exhausted from seeing and doing so much during our stay.

We have just returned from a wonderful trip to Disney World. Everyone had such a great time. I asked Samantha what her favorite things were and she names just about everything she did. The picture above is from the first day as we were heading into Magic Kingdom on the tram. The kids were so excited to see everything.



As soon as we got through the gates we spotted Daisy Duck. As you can tell Cole is missing from the picture. He was so excited when he spotted her but did not want to go near her. As we were walking away from Daisy he started to cry even more. He didn't want to leave but he also didn't want to go to her. I guess he just wanted to stay and watch her from a safe distance.




The family shot in front of Cinderella's castle. Whenever Cole saw the castle anywhere in the park he would get excited and yell "Mommy, mommy... Cinderella castle!"



Jack Sparro from Pirates of the Caribbean chose Samantha for be an honorary pirate.




The family waiting to watch Phillomagic. Don't we look so cute in out 3D glasses. Cole wanted me to wear his glasses too. It was so good. Maggie, Samantha, and I sat in the front row. The girls were standing up trying to catch and grab things.



Samantha trying to get the sword out of the stone. No luck.



OH.... NO... Cole and Samantha have been eaten by Bruce the shark from Finding Nemo.




Samantha and I on Spaceship Earth at Epcot.




Cole finally went up to a few characters in the Epcot meet and greet. He went to Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse, and Goofy all by himself. He needed Mom to introduce him to Mickey and Pluto.



What a pair!!!!! These two had a blast running around the carwash while the Dads and sisters rode crash test. Needless to say they got soaking wet. And had a great time getting that way!!

The two princesses! Samantha was wearing her Minnie Mouse ears and Snow White made a comment on how she and Minnie were good friends. Samantha thought that it was so cool that Minnie and Snow White were friends and that Snow White noticed her ears.



We tried to get a good picture but the kids were not interested. The only thing they were interested in was riding more rides, not Mom's photo ops.




Daddy and kiddies on Dumbo. Every time a ride Cole was on would be over he would say "One more time!"




Cole found 100 Acre Woods and Winnie the Pooh's house.



Our last night we went to the night parade and fireworks. Cole LOVED the parade. He sat in his stroller and danced to the music and pointed and yelled about everything he was seeing. Samantha loved when Tinkerbell fell over our heads to start the fireworks. We had a wonderful time. I am looking forward to taking Cole back when he is tall enough to ride the thrill rides... I know he will love them all. It was so fun to watch the magic of Disney through Samantha and Cole's eyes. It makes it worth the lines, heat, and money to see their eyes light up as they saw the castle for the first time and their expressions as they were trying to take it all in. It was a wonderful family vacation.
