The Magical Adventure!

So many pictures!  I apologize in advance, but they are too good to not post!!!  I have a feeling most everyone has already seen these pictures on Facebook, but I must have them on the blog as well!

We stayed at the Grand Floridian, which was absolutely beautiful!  The kids enjoyed exploring... check this out. Walker hugged his sister:



We went straight to the Magic Kingdom!  I really love that place.  But, it was a lot more crowded than I remember!


Walker's new favorite word is CASTLE!

The next morning, we went back to the Magic Kingdom... we arrived right as a parade started.  It was great!



And, we have to have family photos in front of Cinderella's castle!  Too bad Walker wasn't in the mood!



We rode a bunch of rides.... Small World, Jungle Cruise, Peter Pan, Snow White... but, I think this was Walker's favorite:


Everly liked it too, but we don't have a picture of her flying... this one works:


Our next day was very busy... we started with breakfast with some of Walker's favorite characters!





He liked them... as long as they weren't too close!!  He kept yelling at Oso, but when he arrived at our table he got scared!  But, he and Everly were both troopers!

My favorite part of the trip... meeting Buzz and Woody!  Walker LOVES Buzz and Woody.  And, Everly was excited, too.




Walker was less afraid of these guys than all the rest.  I guess they felt familiar!!

 

I love that they take pictures for you, with your own camera.  Very cool to have the whole family, with a few additions, in a picture!

And, then we were off to Animal Kingdom!  This park is great for kids our age.  Walker is very into The Lion King and animals right now... it was great.  Love this picture of my guys.


Walker loved seeing the elephants, giraffes, and hippos!


Very cool gorilla!


Waiting in line for a Lion King show... Walker was "fake" sleeping.


So cute!

It was a fantastic trip.  Walker and Everly were so good.  I stand by my philosophy that our kids are actually too young for Disney... but, we still had a fabulous time.  We went with no expectations and had a blast with what we could do!   I'm proud that the kids are excellent travelers... it makes me excited to go on more family vacations!  Our next trip is already booked.... a Disney cruise!  After this successful trip, I know that one will be even better!

We will go back to Disney World.... in five years!
