A Day at Magic Kingdom


This is outside of Mickey's Toon Town... Ben did not want his picture taken!


Katie sitting Minnie's chair



Ben's first roller coaster ride... he LOVED it and would have rode every roller coaster in Disney!


The Teacups... poor daddy can not handle these... so this was a mama and kids ride...
On the "shoo-shoo" train (as Ben would call it)

I LOVE, love, love this picture of my boys!

Ben and his new best friend, Buzz Lightyear, notice the pose!!! hee hee

Katie took this pic after we rode Pirates of the Carribean... all of us in our orange. (it was not planned)

At the Crystal Palace with Winnie the Pooh and gang... this is a parade the kids could participate in... Ben was about to jump in then his shy side came out and he ran to my lap... at least he attempted...

Katie and me on Splash Mountain!!WEEEE!!!!

Animal Kingdom

We spent a morning at the Animal Kingdom. I would have liked to spend more time at this park... more reason to go back! hee hee... but while there Kate played a drum with an african musician, we went on a safari, watched a FABULOUS Nemo musical, rode a couple of rides and Ben and Jen got totally soaked on the rapids!!! Lots of fun!!


Katie after she played her drum and kept a good african beat!!!


checking out some flamingos on the safari!!



part of the Nemo show... seriously guys, this show was sooo cool!!!


Here we are SOAKED to the core... Luckily I had a change of clothes for Ben... not so for me... I could ring out my shorts... and yes, I know.. white shorts... brilliant, heh!

Already for the ball...


Our little princess all dressed up and ready for the ball!!!

The Not-So Scary Halloween Party


Handy Manny and Cinderella at the Halloween party.


Trick-or treating!!!



One picture from the halloween parade!

If anyone goes during the month of October, I highly suggest the Not-So Scary Halloween party... it costs extra but totally worth it... shorter lines, cool parade, trick or treating, disco dance parties! SOOOO much fun!!!

Lunch and the Royal Table!

On Friday, Katie and I had lunch at the Castle... This was the highlight of the week for Katie. Meeting Cinderella was just the best and any little girl's dream come true. Katie was just precious during this lunch. I really had a great time watching her and spending the girlie time with my girl! I did not post all the pics of all the princesses... but she got to meet Cinderella, Snow White, Jasmine, Belle and Sleeping Beauty... Wow!!


Cinderella told Katie:"Prince Charming may get confused because there are two Cinderellas!"


This was taken after Cinderella spun Katie around!

Walking into the castle... man, I look shabby compared to my little princess!


Making her way up the castle stairs... just love the crocs underneath the gown!!
