Look!!! I'm with Mickey!!!
I will sheepishly admit that I was a wee bit teary when Mickey Mouse rode in on the Steam Engine to start the day at Magic Kingdom. (Yes, I am a total sap.) I turned and looked at my kids, and they weren't crying at all. Instead, they were all staring at me! I realized that they hadn't really grown up watching Mickey cartoons or Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. So, that particular magical Mickey moment was mine to savor alone.
Fortunately, there were lots and lots of other wonderful moments on our trip (in between the less magical moments that happen when you travel with three kids). Abby's favorites were meeting her favorite characters Pocahontas and Mulan, and getting to ride all the 'fast' rides, like Expedition Everest and Mission Space.
Caroline loved meeting all the princesses (Ariel, Belle, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella), and she most enjoyed dinner with the princesses in Norway at Epcot (Thank you free Disney dining plan!). I should revise that a bit -- Caroline did not eat much dinner in Norway. She was too busy helping Ben lead the princess dinner parade with his special friend Ariel. Ariel told Ben he was "handsome," so he was completely smitten with her after that. Hilarious!
Cinderella's Castle
(We ate breakfast in the Magic Kingdom before the park opened one morning....it was so quiet!)
Fun Fall decorations
Animal Kingdom's Safari
It looks like a great trip! I think I cried about a dozen times while I was there...no one else did.
ReplyDeleteTalk to you soon!
Wow - what a trip! Glad to know it's still magical :) I still need to convince Steve it will be fun...
ReplyDelete@Heather -- Too funny! I cried so many other times that it became a running joke, "Oh, Mom is crying again...LOOK!" I cried about meeting Winnie the Pooh, when we had our first photos with our first character, when I saw the Epcot ball, etc., etc. I wasn't hysterical or anything, but definitely teary!
ReplyDelete@Tracy -- You totally have to convince Steve. One approach, you can try to bribe him with all the extremely delicious food at Epcot (and it is soooo good). Alternate approach, remind him of all the wonderful childhood memories he's creating. Hmmm....better stick with the food. Scott will readily admit that he had a fun time -- tiring and expensive, but super fun too.
