Disney live

One of the girls' Christmas presents was tickets to see Disney Live- three fairytales! They were so excited!

We settled into our seats and enjoyed every bite of our $10 cotton candy...

The first fairy tale was Snow White...followed by CInderella....Sk crossed her tigers and wished the third and final would be Beauty and the Beast...sister loves her some Belle! ( the princess who loves to read!)

Beauty and the Beast was indeed the final tale and the girls were oh so happy!

It was a great show...with the happily ever after we love....

and all the Disney characters to top it all off!

Rollins went to see the Dinosaur exhibit with Nana while we did all this princess stuff! He had a ball too!

If you have not been to Disney World....Go.  Plan it now...don't wait for your little one to get a little bit bigger to "appreciate" it. Or for  the youngest to stop napping...for for this one to get potty trained....or that one to not want to be carried.  Go while they will delight in the magic.....I mean squeal in awe when they see the characters...and smile from their soul with sheer happiness.  If you have quite a few like we do...you may have to go more than once.  Maybe you can't afford it...join the club...but go anyway. It is a gift...a gift you not only give your children..but one you give your self. The memories I made on this Disney vacation are one I will carry in my heart forever. There is nothing like it....and I am forever thankful that I have these amazing children and that we got to experience this amazing place together!

Last day at Disney....

Disney is fun but exhausting....by the last day we went ahead and got he stroller...we were so happy we did!

The last day we found our selves at Hollywood studios! We went to the Jedi Academy....

The Indiana Jones Stunt Show....

Saw an amazing parade.....

Saw The Voyage of the Little Mermaid Show......

we ate, rode rides, and Sarah Kate was so excited to see the Lemonade Mouth show!

Then it was one more trip to Downtown Disney....

Our bus dropped us off here and it was a beautiful adventure to find out how to get to Downtown Disney...

We ended up going by boat.....

Pleasure Island here we come!

The girls shopped...the boys went to the arcade...Grandpa went to the bar! Everyone was happy! We ate at a private table outside and it was so fun!

We had our own dance floor and the kids could be crazy and no one cared!!!

We ate yummy apples from the Candy Cauldren....

 Back at the hotel....we watched our last fireworks over the Magic Kingdom from our hotel room

It was time to prepare for an early departure back home. I packed up all our things but he most important thing I am taking home are some of the most precious memories...I mean tender ones...that I will treasure forever...

Disney Day 4.....everywhere and a broken finger!

We started the day at Chef Mickeys with the classic Disney crew!

It was so fun when Goofy came over and announced for everyone to raise and wave their napkins in honor of Jeremy's Iron man!

It was the best to see Mickey...the big man on campus! He just makes your heart beat a little faster!

Seriously...you can't help but love him...at any age!

Lila was so excited...she waited with a big smile for every character....

and "did her little hands" with excitement......

It was just so much fun!

After breakfast we headed off to the Magic Kingdom for the morning. I truly was in heaven being her with my littles! There is a genuine, happy smile around every corner....bringing them here is a gift that keeps on giving!

We did Buzz Light Year....

and we even got to meet him!

we rode space mountain.....

Then we headed off to Epcot to see the World Showcase.....

In Norway we had Ice cream....

In China SK had a heart to heart with Princess Mulan.....

Walking past Italy we saw Beauty and the Beast....

In England we had an amazing meal at the Rose & Crown Pub!

 we even saw Santa at Epcot!

Then we headed back to the hotel to change for the Halloween Party at the Magic Kingdom!

Right before we walked out the door Riggs smashed his finger in the hinge side of our heavy hotel door...it was pancake flat...and probably broken....we taped him up...gave him Motrin and headed out....poor guy!

The party must go on!

Minnie and Ariel were ready to go!

We lined the street and waited for the headless horseman to start the parade!

Finally he galloped through the street and the fun began!

This sweet boy sure was a trooper.....broken finger and all he went right on!

The Hallow wishes  fireworks were amazing!

I'll never forget sitting here...watching the faces of my littles....illuminated by the firework lights....never ever...

We then rode a few rides and enjoyed the dance party with Goofy and "Pluty" as Lila calls him! It was a fun filled day! At midnight we collapse in bed!
