Disney Adventures

We slipped away to the Magic Kingdom for President's day weekend! It worked out well since I had a training course in Tampa the week before and a conference in Orlando right after President's day we had a great family vacation packed into three days! Jordan flew in after John, Taylor and Mason arrived and we played hard!Taylor talked for week about seeing Mickey and Minnie and that she did! She was so thrilled!She had to show Minnie her cute Minnie shirt that KelleyAnne made for her!

We caught up with Goofy the Pirate after coming out of Pirates of the Caribbean. Taylor liked that one - but The Haunted Mansion was a bit much for her....what were we thinking?!Jessie & Woody were actually the first characters she met and she was beside herself waiting!

We had dinner in the UK and dessert in France at Epcot that evening and met Belle along with our cute little friends from Venezuela that were in line with us!
We made it back to the Magic Kingdom in time for the fireworks and Electric Light Parade. What an amazing show that Taylor loved!


She was so excited to see Cinderella and was happy to know that we had lunch plans with her on the Monday!
Hi Tinkerbell!Monday morning we started our day early and went to Hollywood Studios to check out the sites. Taylor was thrilled to see more characters!She was thrilled to have another visit with Minnie and that they "matched" - Taylor is all about matching these days!
Then we went to Epcot and changed into our princess dress to attend the princess luncheon in Norway. First stop was a photo op with Belle.
There was a princess procession through the whole restaurant and Taylor was thrilled she held "Slip Birdy's" hand. She still talks about it a week later. Of course she had to show off her dress to each of the princesses.
Jordan and Mason got their own photo shoot as well! Taylor was the most excited about Cinderella (though it doesn't show here!) as she had a "matching" dress. I'm so glad I picked this dress up at the Disney store right after Halloween for a steal! The dress prices otherwise are riduculous!
Ariel was pretty popular as well.....we watched her "show" at Hollywood Studios twice!
She was not that into Alice but still was happy to meet her. The food was great and they made the event special - Taylor was on cloud nine and she wouldn't take her dress off after lunch so we paraded around Epcot the rest of the day in it!
After plenty of time with the princesses, the guys ran off to some cool rides and Taylor & I hung out with Nemo and rode that ride twice too!Our little princess finally zonked that afternoon as we were hanging out in Japan listening to the Taiko drums. We then moved down to Germany and all took a rest and had some treats!
We visited China and Mexico and then called it a day. What at an adventure we had! Truly a great trip and fun memories of Taylor's first visit to Disney!
