We have had a very busy May! I'm excited to finally have time to post our Disney World Pictures. We got to go to Disney World for 6 days. We did all of the main parks once, and we went back to the Epcot and Magic Kingdom twice. We stayed off Disney World at a Resort called the Regal Palms. It was a 4 bedroom 3.5 bath town home with a full kitchen. It also had an awesome swimming pool with a water slide and lazy river. We took full advantage of the Kitchen. Our fridge was broken the first day we got there, but they soon fixed it, and we kept if fully stocked. It really helped save on costs to eat breakfast at home everyday, and most days we also packed a lunch and snacks to take with us. We had a really great time at the different parks. They exceeded our expectations. Chloe especially enjoyed Disney World more than we thought. We were worried that she would be scared of all the characters and the loud parades, but she loved all of it. Her favorite part about Disney seemed to be the parades. She loved to dance with all of the Characters! Candy loved all of the fast rides! Her favorite ride was the Rockin Roller Coaster! Kassidy said that her favorite part of Disney was the merry-go-round even though she was too scared to ride the horses that went up and down. She just wanted to sit on the bench that was still. She was scared of the horses on the Merry-Go-Round, but she laughed when she was riding the tower of terror. She was so brave for most of the rides, but she would always surprise us and be scared of something unexpected. Poor tenderhearted Candy was scared of most things except for the fast rides. She did not like anything animatronic. It was nice that my mother and her husband David were also able to come with us. There were times where we were all able to split up and take turns riding with the younger and older kids. Disney makes it pretty convenient with things like the fast pass and a switch pass. The switch pass is for when someone has to stay behind with younger children. After 6 fun filled days we were spent, but then we still had the 17 hr. drive back. It felt like an eternity, but it was well worth the sacrifice to have these life long memories!
The traditional family shot in front of Cinderella Castle.
Minnie's house was just the right size for the girls!
The girls could not quite warm up to Mickey and Minnie!
Ride 'em Cowgirls! (Cinderella's Carousel)
One of the coolest parades...the characters came off the floats and danced in the street.
Chloe became part of an "interactive" experience...she was tickled!
The character that resembles Candy's personality the most....LOL.
The traditional Small World Ride: Chloe thought all the dancing "people" were funny, Kassidy slept through it, and Candy thought it was full of, well, cheese.
Something new to us this time: Spectromagic! One of the most unique parades we have ever seen. All floats and characters lit up with lights!
Can't get enough photos of that icon!
True Disney marketing at its finest...attending this fireworks show really does make you think Dreams can come true! (Chills felt by all)
Kassidy is a great speeder driver, especially with her custom hair ornaments by Krissy that came about due to her destruction of her headband...Candy is trying for a new character on Star Wars...
The girls could have stayed all day at the "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" playground...we need one of those around here.
This was Beauty and The Beast show...obviously the girl's favorite.
Hard to tell that this is one of the coolest shows...we waited out a drizzle under
panchos to see it...what a great story to tell!
If you strain your eyes very carefully you can see the sorcerer's hat in the background at Hollywood Studios. Chloe was beat. This was the way most days ended with mommy carrying a very tired Chloe in my life saver the blessed sling!
Can you tell how hot it was? We were melting the first couple of days...we conveniently chose days of record heat...
pbbbbbtttt! Last time we were here this time of year it was in the 70's!
Um, a little disappointed at the petting zoo...
c'mon Disney you can do better than a goat?!
This awesome tree at Animal Kingdom is a great pic site...o.k., o.k., it's not real.
The girls loved Animal Kingdom with all the animal rides.
Chloe and her first Safari!
Just
hangin' out with the pack-e-
derms!
Despite not being in the REAL safari, Disney made it seem like were really there! The girls thought so anyway...;-)
Some creative greenery at Epcot...I dare someone to take a picture in front of every character bush at Disney World....
Another Disney icon...It seemed a lot bigger in my mind...although there is a ride that takes you winding your way all the way to the top!
We wore the exact same clothing on our return trip to Epcot...just kidding...got Ryan out from behind the camera for this one.
Disney does a great job in keeping kids occupied while waiting for shows/rides. This is a fully functional sting ray tank outside a
Nemo Show that mesmerized the girls.
Mommy and the Cutest Kassidy Mouse in all the world!
"We got the whole world, in our hands...."
This is our picture from the ride Tesst Track. This was one of Kassidy's favorite rides. This was one of the only rides that almost all of our family got to ride together. It was funny, because the lady in orange sitting next to Kassidy was deathly afraid of the ride, and Kassidy kept telling the lady that it was not scary, because she had ridden before. The whole ride Kassidy pestered the poor lady saying "see it's not scary." I just thought the whole thing was comical that a 4 year old was telling a 50 something year old not to be scared on the ride! She was definitely brave when it came to fast rides!
