We had such a wonderful trip to Disney World! Phil, the kids and I drove to Savannah, Georgia on Saturday and stopped there for the night, then continued on to Orlando on Sunday. That afternoon we checked into our room at Disney's Polynesian resort and headed to Downtown Disney. The Polynesian resort was beautiful and the kids were so excited to see the waterfalls, tiki torches, and of course the Lilo and Stitch decor! Monday morning we met up with Phil's parents and brother and took the monorail to the Magic Kingdom ... we got there early enough to see the opening show and rope drop ... of course, Disney did not disappoint. It was a great start to our day! Monday was all about Jennifer getting to meet the princesses - she got to meet Ariel, Belle, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty! Zachary couldn't have cared less, but he did enjoy getting to ride Aladdin's Magic Carpets and Dumbo! Here are some pics from our first day at Disney ...
 |
| Packed into the Jetta ... it was two long days of driving, but as you can see here the kiddos had plenty to keep them occupied! |
 |
| There were plenty of naps taken those two days in the car! |
 |
| Our first spotting of Lilo and Stitch paraphernalia! |
 |
| Eating dinner at The Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney ... Fun Fact: the animals in the restaurant "come alive" every 10 minutes and there is a "thunderstorm" every 20 minutes complete with darkness, lightning, and the sounds of rain and thunder along with the animals "coming alive" ... our children were not fans of this and we had to eat quickly! |
 |
| The Magic Kingdom day one! Jennifer chose her Tinkerbell dress for our first day at the park and Zach wanted to wear his Donald Duck shirt :) |
 |
| The Magic Carpets of Aladdin ride was by far Zachary's favorite ... he rode it a total of five times over the two days we were there! |
 |
| It's a Small World! |
 |
| The first princess Jennifer got to meet was Ariel, she was very excited that Ariel had her fin instead of legs! |
 |
| Enchanted Tales with Belle was a super cute interactive meet and greet where the kids put on a play as a surprise for princess Belle ... then Belle gives them each a bookmark as a gift and they get a hug and photo-op ... this was really well done and a very special way for the kiddos to get to meet Belle! |
 |
| Jennifer is still dressed as Tink but has added a Rapunzel hat ... Cinderella called her a Fairy Princess and Jen was super excited ... this meet and greet with Cinderella was fabulous ... Cinderella spent a couple of minutes talking with each child and was super sweet! |
 |
| She then hugged and posed for pictures ... we had a fast pass for this so we didn't have to wait in line but it was well worth the 40 minute wait for the people that didn't have a fast pass |
 |
| Sleeping Beauty was in the same room with Cinderella so Jennifer got to meet both princesses in this same spot ... Sleeping Beauty also spent a couple of minutes talking and interacting with each child, then gave hugs and posed for pictures ... Jennifer was so excited! |
 |
| We conveniently exited the Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty meet and greet through a shop that sold princess dresses (of course!) and Jennifer got some super special pixie dust sprinkled in her hair ... that pixie dust is still in her hair four days later! |
 |
| Zachary wanted to ride the carousel so Phil and I took the kiddos for a ride |
 |
| Jennifer and me on Dumbo! |
 |
We ended our night with the Main Street Electrical Parade and I have to say this was my favorite
part of the day! It was a hot, busy day and we were all exhausted ... but we were also excited for
day two at the Magic Kingdom! |
