We embarked on a 10 day family vacation two weeks ago and it was wonderful!!!!!!!
This was Stella's first visit, as Amelia had been when she was 18 months old. It was so fun that our ladies knew many of the characters/princesses, spectacular to watch them meet those characters. There was such enthusiasm and joy, it was WONDERFUL to watch our little women experience Disney. I will make a scrapbook of course but still had a hard time picking through and collecting just the highlights to blog. I put my two favourite pictures down below, when our ladies first met Mickey!!!!!! Their eyes were huge and big smiles covered their faces. It rocked, I actually had tears in my eyes.
We made some Mickey shirts before we left using a cardboard stencil and bleach in a spray bottle. I was pretty pumped at how they turned out, the girls helped spray the bleach and we were pumped to wear them the day we had dinner at the castle.
Soooooo fun to watch our ladies with the princesses. Each one we met made our little ladies feel like the most important girls in the room. There was no rushing or hurrying them along, just undivided attention which resulted in smiles all around, EACH TIME!
A personal highlight was getting to dance with Belle. Yes, that is me in the red cape!!!! There is a show where they ask people in the group to be various characters in the 'Beauty and the Beast' story and no one wanted to be the Beast. They asked Amelia and she declined, so I volunteered. It turns out that was the AWESOMEST role because you get to dance with Belle. She asked my name and then called me 'Princess Jenny' which made me smile and honestly get a little giddy. There is something so magical about Disney!
Graham's dad, Ed joined us which was nice. Graham and I even got to take a break from pushing the stoller at time and got to walk together holding hands. The girls enjoyed having Grandpa around.
Similar to Amelia's first visit, the petting zoo at the Animal Kingdom was a big thumbs up! Our ladies are such fans of animals, they are total softies.
Thank goodness Mr. P likes to go swimming because I prefer to sit on the side in the sun. The ladies clearly had a blast in the pool. Their faces are priceless! Love them.
Getting them hooked on churros.
Ducks are awesome....didn't you know? We seemed to find them everywhere we went.
Rides, rides, rides.
SEAWORLD was cool! The shows are pretty amazing and special to be so close to these beautiful animals. I am kinda on the fence about seeing these creatures in captivity but wow the shows!!!!
For sure a highlight had to be the Bibbiti-Bobbit-Boutique!!!! We managed to get Amelia in (little girls had to be 3 years old so Stella didn't make the cut this time). I think the excitement shows on her face. :)
We had a second viewing of FROZEN with Grandpa Ed. Amelia was singing 'Let it Go' in this picture, doing Elsa's arm movements.
TOTALLY one of my favourite pictures of our ladies with Chip n Dale, oh the smiles!
Going and coming home they rocked the flights. You always worry as parents that you will be 'that family' but as the ladies get older and travel more we are finding our groove. We were so proud of them, they are becoming great little traveling companions. Any family together time is precious but Disney family time is just marvelous!!!!!!
Till next time.
