MK All the Way

Vacation is in full swing and we've had two fun filled days of Disney park fun.  Magic Kingdom was magical to say the least with continuous ooh's and ahh's from the kids at all the larger than life rides, character greetings and excitement.

We rode on Buzz Lightyear, went to the Monster’s Inc laugh floor show, and rode the tea cups.  Avah enjoyed the rest of the afternoon as princess Snow White after being pampered at the Bibbity Boppity Boutique.  Avah and I even squeezed in a ride on the carousel while the boys took a break in the shade.  We left the park around 4 so the kids could rest back at the hotel and we caught a bus back to MK for dinner, the electrical parade and fireworks.

At the MK entrance.  Everyone is having a good time, but Benn fell and scraped his knee. :(


First view of the castle...Benn is feeling much better, ready for a full day of fun!


The Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin - by far Benn's favorite ride at Disney.

As Benn says, "That's my shooter gun!"

More spinning in the Tea Cups.  A personal fav that the kids enjoyed as well. Notice Russ is absent from this one. He doesn't do well on rides that spin.  :)

A family shot.

 At Mickey's Philhar Magic 3D show.  Benn rocked the glasses the entire show with a smile on his face. Avah chose to watch glassless because she said she could "see just fine without them." LOL...try explaining 3D to a 4 year old. 

It rained briefly in the early afternoon at MK and while most of the crowds were seeking shelter under an umbrella or awning, Benn chose to dance in it.  Here he is having his own dance party.  And, for those of you wondering, he's still shaking his tooshy and showing his moves of 5 states away!

The main attraction for Avah was the Bibbidy Bobbidy Boutique. To say that she felt like a princess is an understatement. She was in her element and enjoyed every minute of pampering, as well as the hours of ohh's and awe's from strangers there after. 

This was the final reveal. What a doll!

Snow White herself.

She wishes that she could live here...I don't blame her.

The smartest decision Russ and I made all day was to rent a stroller. After carrying the kids around AK the day before, our backs, legs and feet couldn't take one more day of hiking with kids on our backs, atop our shoulders and in our arms.  It turned out to be well worth the $15/day fee to see this bubs crashed and taking a snooze while we were still able to enjoy some attractions.

Back at the hotel and still gleaming with excitement.   

While walking back to the hotel, Avah looked up and said, "Mom, I feel like a REAL princess today."
Priceless.  Disney really is the happiest place on Earth.
