There aren't quite the words to describe the fabulous trip gifted to us by my sister-in-law. A trip for our entire family to the most magical place on earth was incredibly priceless. I was so excited for my kids to experience every single thing and see the joy on their faces as they saw amazing things, hero's and princesses that once only existed on a TV screen or on the pages of a book. Sometimes the mere thought of it brought tears to my eyes, so to experience it, well, lets just say it is an act of God I was able to keep it all together during the trip. Heck, I was probably just as excited as the kids most of the time!
And of course, Disney World did not disappoint. So many fun and exciting things to do and see, something new around every corner and smiles on my kids' faces every single second (well, almost, they are just kids). The only thing I didn't remember from my last trip there as a 21-year-old college student? How exhausting it was. Perhaps I don't remember that part because it wasn't quite as exhausting when you don't have to cart around and take care of three littles? Perhaps. But the joy of it through their eyes, much more than made up for the physical end of things.
Here is our trip through photos (this is less than 1/10th of the photos I took!):
|
The girls in front of Cinderella's Castle all lit up |
|
The electric parade. Cinderella did not look at us as they were driving by
and Miss Firecracker was heart broken. |
|
Jasmine and Aladdin. Our first princess sighting |
|
Swiss family Robinson tree house - kids didn't really get it because they have never seen the movie |
|
The infamous Dumbo ride! |
|
Pictures with a fancy Minnie Mouse |
|
Even daddy got in on a little ear action! |
|
The royal carousel |
|
Speedway. The kids had so much fun on this, but were all over the place! |
|
Astro Orbiter, it was a bit chilly on this ride! |
|
Monster's Inc. Miss Thumb Sucker wanted NOTHING to do with getting in this picture! |
|
Star Tours! I bawled on this ride when I was 7 - Noisy Man and Miss Firecracker
loved it! |
|
Noisy Man's favorite part of the whole trip - Jedi training! |
|
Watching the Indiana Jones show |
|
Extreme Stunt show - this was pretty amazing |

|
The absolutely beautiful main street of lights |
|
Belle at the princess breakfast |
|
Even the boys got in on the princess action |
|
Cinderella DID come (she wasn't a guarantee at the place where we ate)! The girls were so
excited it brought tears to my eyes. She even took Miss Firecracker's and Miss Thumb Sucker's
hands and led them around with her on the princess parade! |
|
So excited to be with Cinderella |
|
The kids got to go down on the floor and help out with part of the music at the end
of the Lion King show! It was amazing! |
|
Noisy Man lost his 2nd tooth while eating lunch at Animal Kingdom |

in line at all! |
