Our Family trip to Walt Disney World...Part 1

We had so much fun on our trip to Disney!! I am breaking this post into sections, because we took about 300 pictures & videos & I am weeding through them a little at a time. I cannot wait to go back again! We arrived in Orlando on Stewart's 31st birthday, so we got to celebrate in style at Disney's Hollywood Studios! He got a special button to wear and everyone wished him a happy birthday! He even got in free on his birthday to the parks, but since we had purchased a package deal, they gave him a $75 gift card instead! Awesome!
The picture above is Rylie cheesing it on the Aladdin's Magic Carpet Ride...she loved it! I think this was actually in the Magic Kingdom.
This is our second day, at the Animal Kingdom. This parade was cute....we got great spots for all the parades because there were less people there than during the summer. I highly recommend going in Jan. We got great deals & avoided any waits in line:)

Waiting to see "A Bug's Life" in 3D...she fell asleep literally about 2 minutes after this picture was taken & slept through the whole show! Stewart & I really enjoyed it !



She LOVED the characters...well, at least the ones like Tigger, in full costume. (You will understand later what I mean)



This was the first character she saw & she was so excited....




She ran right up & gave Pooh a big bear hug! Eyeore was next in line & she would have NOTHING to do with him...she went straight to Tigger & Eyeore looked sad.....




This is at the Finding Nemo show at the Animal Kingdom. All the shows were great...she was glued to this the whole time, because Nemo is one of her favorite movies!








Some pics from our Kilamanjaro Safari....we did this twice! The animals were so close...some even came right up to the jeep!







See how excited she got??!! Priceless!







Hippo on the safari...the guide said they are hardly ever out of the water!










Me & Raffiki!

See what I mean? She was not feeling the love for Pocohantas....too much of a real person, as opposed to Pooh, Tigger, etc. I think Stewart liked her, though:)
Rylie's first airplane ride! She & Stewart watched out the window for our plane & the picture above that shows her on board, watching Nemo on my ipod!

This was at the Fantasmic nighttime show at Hollywood Studios....it was awesome! All outside with fireworks, water, boats, fire & cool holograms! She waved her arm off at the big riverboat with all the characters! Pictures didn't do it justice!


This was our first night at the hotel....little bit was exhausted!



This is a shot of me & Rylie aboard the train in the Animal Kingdom...yes, the first 2 days were that cold! Very sunny, but unseasonably cool. We were prepared with our toboggans & jackets. By day 3, it was wonderful warm Florida weather!
More to come......

How fun!!!! I have been patiently awaiting the pics!! It looks like such a blast and brings back memories from when we took K at Rylie's age. Priceless! I am sooo glad she loved it. There is nothing better than seeing your toddler all caught up in the magic of it all.

Looks like so much fun Emily!

We really need to get together soon. Would y'all be up for dinner in the next few weeks? Maybe the weekend after Valentine's? I'll give you a call!
