DISNEY!

We took our long-awaited trip to Disney World the last week of January!  My parents and sister Ashlie went with us for three days and then we were there just the four of us for two days.  We had so much fun that it is impossible to even describe on a blog!  I wanted to try to capture some of the events on here mainly so that I will remember it looking back!

On day one we started at Magic Kingdom with the welcome show 10 minutes before the park opened and finished up the day at Hollywood Studios with several rides and Fantasmic.  Day two began at Chef Mickey (the character breakfast at the Contemporary Hotel) and the rest of the day was spent at Magic Kingdom including parades and a firework show.  Day three started with us opening Epcot and ended with us closing Epcot (complete with the fireworks/light show) and included a trip to Animal Kingdom for several hours in the middle of the day.  Day four was spent at Hollywood Studios until the afternoon when we took a nap break (RA and me) and a swimming break (Coop and Dan)- it was 85 degrees!  We ate dinner at Be Our Guest (the Beast's restaurant at his castle).  Our last day was spent mainly at the Magic Kingdom with a quick trip to Epcot trying to see our favorite attractions again and not miss anything!

Here are just a few pictures from our trip:

Reese Ann and her first character to meet- Tinkerbelle!  She loved every minute of it!

the parades were one of RA's favorite things of the trip- Coop liked them, too!

the fireworks are amazing and everywhere!

The elusive Snow White that we finally got a picture with in Germany at Epcot- it made RA's entire trip (and ours, too, seeing her light up)!

We had such a wonderful trip and are already plotting our next Disney adventure- we can't wait to go back!  Reality was not kind to Dan & me this past week (especially with me trying to recover from the bronchitis I returned home with), but we made it!  What fun memories we made!
