Disney World

Our trip to Florida ended with 2 days in Disney World.  It was a fun, exciting, princess filled, exhausting trip.  Emily loved the rides, her favorites were the Barnstormer, Teacups, Dumbo, and the Magic Carpets.  She also had a blast meeting the characters and loved getting all of their signatures (all of the good guys anyway...she wanted absolutely nothing to do with any bad guys).  On the second morning we got up bright and early to have breakfast with the princesses and Emily had a blast meeting them all.  We also were lucky enough to be there for the first dress rehearsal of the brand new princess section of Fantasyland.  We got to ride the new Ariel ride with no line at all, it was great!  (Emily didn't like the Ursula parts of course).  Emily didn't like it when it got dark or loud on any ride or show.  Luckily she seems to be remembering the good parts and isn't focusing on the parts she didn't like.  I know I'm talking about Emily a lot, well that's because she's the little princess and that was the main reason for going, however William had a great time too!  He got to go on most of the rides also and loved it!  He wasn't very into rides this summer and I even had to get off the carousel this summer because he refused to sit on the horse.  He kept asking to go on the horsies and had a great time!!  It's amazing the difference a couple of months make.  He also seemed to be ok with the characters until Minnie touched him, he totally freaked!!  He still liked looking at them from afar but didn't want to get too close after that.  His favorite word of the week was "POOL"!  We could see the pool from our room and every time he woke up the first word out of his mouth was pool.  He absolutely loved swimming and is doing so well in the water.  Yes, we went all the way to Disney World and one of the favorite moments of my kids was the pool!  Phoebe and Heron also had a blast in the pool with us.  We had a great time at the Magic Kingdom with them also.  It was a lot of fun having the big kids around and experiencing it all with them.  It was also nice having the extra adults to help with everything!  Overall a great trip, great memories, and great time with family.  And now a week later I think I may have finally caught up on some sleep!!!
