My dear children don't know how lucky they are to live only two and half hours from the happiest place in the world! I feel like a little kid, because I was so excited for Langley to get up last Sunday morning to tell her we were headed to Disney World! It had been our big secret for awhile. She was jumping for joy, very excited to go to "mickey's house", and kept saying "now? right now?" in complete disbelief.
We stayed at the military resort, Shades of Green. An amazing military perk! It turned out great and so convenient being in the Disney Resort area. Langley was so happy just to see the Mickey statue when we arrived.
That afternoon we decided to just soak in the hotel (very exciting in itself!) and hang by the pool.
We decided to only do two days in the Magic Kingdom this trip. I think it worked out really well, because much longer would have been a bit overload for their ages. The weather could not have been more perfect this weekend! We got lucky that the humidity was down and no rain. And our longest wait for a ride was 25 minutes! I was expecting way worse after talking with everyone. A great time to go before kiddos get out of school.
DAY ONE at Disney!
Dancing around the cinderella's castle!
We met the princesses first thing! Langley was amazed at them and loved talking with them.
Big smiles for Cinderella!
Having a Tea Party with Daddy!
So exciting to fly in Dumbo again after all these years!
We loved "It's a Small World"! It is our new favorite song!
Langley enjoyed all the Mickey yummies!
We had a short ride to the Polynesian Resort, where we would catch the monorail to the Magic Kingdom.
We decided to head back to the hotel for a much needed nap.
A sweet little girl gave Langley her balloon, because she was leaving on the plane that day. It just made Langley's day!
After our naps, we headed back to the Magic Kingdom to enjoy the night light parade.
Langley couldn't get enough of waving to all her favorite characters. She was dancing and pointing at everything that came her way, saying "look mom!".
It was so fun! What a great day!
They had an awesome fireworks display after the parade. Langley is still warming up to fireworks, but we convinced her to stay for a few, as she watched behind
her blankie. Then onto the hotel...It was almost 10:30! What a day!
DAY TWO!
We got to meet Minnie and Mickey!
Langley had the biggest, cheesiest smiles with all the characters!
We decided to ride It's a Small World again with the whole family!
Mason was the happiest he had been the whole trip!
Finally I get to see what I have been missing!
Our last big hoo-rah before heading out that day was a daytime parade. I think the parades were Langley's favorite part, because she got to see all the characters and wave at them.
Langley was waving to Minnie with her Minnie doll, and Minnie pointed at her. Langley was so thrilled!
Langley loved seeing Snow White. This is her favorite princess. That was the one ride, 'Snow Whites Scary Adventures', that Langley chickened out on! She stood in line with Greg, but at the very end decided it wasn't for her! She is already saying that next time she is going to be brave and ride it. :)
We can't wait to go back now! I think I am hooked...I loved Disney! I definitely needed a week to recover even after just a couple days there! LOL
