So we woke the kids up at 3:45 am one morning. Put them in the car. Told them not to talk and go back to sleep. (Carly was the only one that asked where we were going, I just told her to go to bed) Around 7:00 am people were waking up. We stopped at a gas station, I pulled out a bag of clothes, and a loaf of banana bread. I then told them we were taking them to ......DISNEY WORLD!! Oh yeah, we were all so excited! We actually only had to stop one more time for lunch and then we were there by 1:00 - just in time for nap time. So the big kids hit the pool while the little ones napped with me.
So excited and packed in super tight!
Finley quickly got in the spirit of things! I gave her a Mini headband and a Mini Mouse and she quickly read up on all that Disney had to offer :)
After the pool, we took them to Downtown Disney to see if they could make it through the Rainforest Cafe dinner experience. (Last time they screamed their heads off and we had to leave because the animals were so loud) They did it!! We ate our entire meal :)
Finley wasn't thrilled with the restaurant, but she put her brave face on and made it through. When the elephants first started making their noises, she quickly put her head down and started coloring and then watched them through the corner of her eye. It was absolutely hilarious!!!
Channing was nice and entertained with all the animals :)
The girls thought they were hot stuff being so brave!
Downtown Disney picture spots!
Always have to have a picture with the dogs!
We made it to the castle!
They were all so excited
Harper had to see Pooh Bear and Tiger. We found them but Finley was terrified.....
Tea Cups anyone?? Channing surely wasn't afraid!
The kids finally got to ride on their first roller coaster. They liked it but had some mixed emotions. Chloe was all by herself because I was with Channing getting Fast Passes and Matt was sitting with Finley. She said she kept sliding all over the place, but she wasn't scared away. I was so proud of them getting over their fears!
Finley was pretty scared and said she would not be riding it again.
The proud riders of the roller coaster!
Poor Channing was so hot - we all were so hot! August was not the ideal month to go to Florida, but Matt got a week off unexpectedly so we decided to get out of town!!
Peter Pan's Flight was fun - the kids were a little hesitant :)
"Dad, what's this?"
Ariel!!!! This is their favorite princess. They were more than thrilled to meet her.
Channing got into a great conversation with Ariel. She was so cute sitting there listening to her talk. She was so funny!
Rosetta
Tinker Bell
Finley was so excited to meet Tinker Bell since she was going to be having a Tinker Bell birthday party.
Channing would just pass out when she could. She did so good getting dragged around that hot park. She would get squirmy, but she hung on!
Minnie and Mickey! Finley was scared again with these stuffed ones, but Minnie Mouse won her over when I showed her Minnie's high heels!
Hold me Daddy!!! She got tired a couple of times, so we would have to take a break and cool down!
Rapunzel! Look at all my little princesses! Harper wasn't about to take a picture with them this year. He did go up and kiss their hands and said "Nice to meet you!" He is so tolerant with all these girls! We even saw Buzz Light Year and I asked if he wanted to get in line to meet him. He said, "No, I see him!" What a great kid!
Belle!
Cinderella
Buzz Light Year Ride - Yes, our car was packed with some female power!
Daddy with most of his girls
It ended up raining at night, unfortunately, so we got stuck in Tomorrow Land waiting out the rain. We weren't able to see the night time parade or the fireworks, but the kids didn't mind one bit. They were exhausted and were ready to go!
Good bye Princess Castle! We had a blast, lots of memories, and pictures. You can see it glowing in the background!
