Day 6- Magic Kingdom/Epcot

On the last day we did some hopping. We went to Magic Kingdom in the morning so that the girls could meet Tinkerbell. Well that was a crazy experience. They were filming the Christmas Day parade that day, so it was very crowded. They had Hannah Montana, the Jonas Brothers and some others from Disney channel there filming performances. And Live with Regis and Kelly were filming- my sister and brother saw Kelly with her kids while waiting to ride the new Toy Story ride. So we met Tinkerbell then left that park and met up with family in Epcot.

Meeting Tinkerbell- one of the highlights for the girls
This is one of her fairy friends, she is the light fairy.
Another one of her fairy friends the garden fairy.
We had parked at Epcot and took the monorail over in the morning to the Magic Kingdom. Well I had read about riding in the front car with the driver and if it is not too busy they will let you and so we asked and were able to ride it to and from the Magic Kingdom, what a neat experience.

In Japan near their goldfish pond- Emme took some pictures of the fish. We threw a handful of cheerios in and they went crazy.

That concludes our trip to Disney- what a great time we had, THANK YOU so much Grandma and Papa. We had a wonderful time, we love you and miss you!!!

Day 5 Hollywood Studios

Watching the Beauty and the Beast show- one of our favorites!
Meeting Lighting McQueen and Mater
Walking through the Osbourne Spectacle of Lights- this family donated lights to Disney and it is an insane amount of lights. So they decorate this one section of the park and play Christmas music and have "snow" falling. I think Ally clapped most of the way while we were walking through them.

Day 4- Mickeys BBQ at Fort Wilderness

Ok we have done a couple of Character meals and this was by far the most fun ever! It was a BBQ buffet, but not only do the characters walk around and say hello but there was country music played and a huge dance floor and they dance out there with you. That was so fun for the kids to be able to dance with the characters. The food was very yummy and it was outside but under this pavilion so the atmosphere was perfect for little kids, it was so loud and so much fun!
At the end the characters did a little performance.


Love this picture of my dad with Mikayla- we miss you Papa- thanks again!
Ally was so excited to meet Minnie!! That is her cousin, Aaron, in the picture too.

All the cousins eating their popsicles.
They had a freezer full of yummy popsicles and those chocolate coated Mickey heads with vanilla ice cream (my favorite). What a fun night- thank you Grandma and Papa!!

Day 4 Magic Kingdom

On Thursday we went to the Magic Kingdom-
This was one of Ally's favorites- I am sure you can imagine why- she absolutely loves horses!
Uncle Augie and Gordon.

Day 3- Chill time at the Resort

We all went and played mini golf in the afternoon- Todd of course kept getting a "hole in one"- so jealous.

As you can see it was a pirate theme-






All the cousins- 16 total- also did some coloring that day!


It was so fun seeing all of them all together. They are all getting so big!

Day 2 at Magic Kingdom

That night my parents bought us tickets for the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. The park closes and only those who have the separate ticket get in and the lines are so much shorter. There are different shows that are going on, we watched Mickey's Twas a Night Before Christmas, it was so cute. And they give away free hot chocolate and cookies.
Ally riding on Cinderella's Carousal- you can tell by her face, she loved it!!
Riding on the teacups, we had so much fun hanging out with you Grandma!!

Day 2 at Animal Kingdom

I love Kylie's face in this picture- she was having a blast. This was also one of Ally's favorite rides!

Ally, Emme, Kylie, Jonathan, Matthew, Nicole, and Andrew. We had such a fun day hanging out with you all!
On the Safari ride- it was a cooler day and there were so many animals out moving around it was so fun!
