Disney Vacation!

Were back from a long, fun, exhausting 7 day vacation at Disneyworld. I'm posting pictures from what we did over the seven days.


ARRIVING SAT. Day 1


Congress Park is where we stayed in the Sarasota Springs Resort & Spa

We had a nice view of Downtown Disney and the lake from our room

We took a little splash

Ate at the Rain Forest Cafe for the first time

Danielle's first ride was the train in Downtown Disney

The beautiful flowers.....

I miss summer

Danielle had fun splashing around in the fountains


Day 2
Animal Kingdom

Picture in front of the Tree of Life
(Which in fact does not look real at all)

Justin and Carley on the Safari Tour

We got to see the animals really close up. I could have reached out and touched a rhino we were so close.
Dinosaur Ride. You can't see Danielle in the pic but she had fun.

Day 3 Epcot

In front of the big ball as Danielle liked to call it

We got to see Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Donald and Goofy all in one shot. We only waited 20 minutes in line too.

Day4 Nap Day

The girls were exhausted and napped most of the day.
Day 5 Magic Kingdom
Danielle wore her Snow White dress to the park. Lots of people talked to her and called her "your highness"
In front of the castle

Taking a break at Pooh's Corner

Carley was such a good girl taking cat naps in the stroller

Mickey ears

Day 6 Hollywood Studios
Visit with Handy Manny

Waiting to see Fantasmic night show

Mickey during the show. We really liked this show. It was one of our favorites.

The Beauty and the Beast show was also very good
Day 7 Magic Kingdom part 2
Riding the ferry boat over to the Magic Kingdom

Visit with Rafiki from the Lion King

Welcome show in front of the castle

Riding the carousal

Meeting Cinderella for dinner at the Royal Table upstairs in the castle

Meeting the mice during dinner


Carley loving the attention

Night parade Spectomagic

Fireworks to end a very long day

Day 8 Animal Kingdom part 2

Meeting Mickey again. Danielle was very cute giving him lots of kisses on the nose.
Minnie

The Lion King show was very good. Carley was really excited bouncing and screeching during the music.


Yummy sucker that got everything sticky

Petting zoo. Danielle pretty much ignored the goats and enjoyed kicking the nasty goat poop gravel around better. We left this area pretty quickly.

We are all very glad to be home doing nothing after all of the magic Disney has to offer

Thanks for taking so many pictures and taking the time to share them...its almost like I got to go along! Its wonderful to see the world again through the kids eyes...it keeps us from taking life for granted. Remember the good times from your trip and just let the difficult times just roll right out of your memories. Life is always a mixture of things... its never perfect...but its always good. Love to you all,
Grandma Becky

What a magical time! The girls look like they LOVED it and Danielle really looked like Snow White! We hope to visit Mickey after we make our move to AA. Thanks for sharing the fun pics.
