Disney World

Can't believe we got to go back to Disney so soon!  We started and finished at the Magic Kingdom, with Epcot and a pool day in between.  Charley and I both celebrated our birthdays, which was super special.  C got to do the  Bippity Boppity Boutique with Lily this time, and we hit up all our fave places from last time + a couple new rides like the girls' favorite -- Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.  Disney was special when I was little and it makes me happy Grandma & Grandpa get to share this special place with us now, too.  Til next time!

Back to our old hotel!

King Rhubarb making an appearance. :)

Boating to MK!

They loved Peter Pan this time.  Always have to book this one -- Mommy's  fave. :)

Breakfast at the Beast's Castle.

Love C's curtsy. :)

Enchanted Tales with Belle.  C felt a little shy about getting up and being a part of the show this time, but she went up at the end for a picture with Belle.  And Lily's roar scored her the part of the Beast. :) 

Muscles for Gaston.

Meeting Tink at Pixie Hollow!

Fave ride of the trip.

We got to see the talking Mickey just a few weeks before his retirement.  Pretty cool.

Boating back after a good first day.

Epcot and Mommy's birthday!

Got to see Epcot during the Flower & Garden festival, which was  really neat.

Mickey and Pals meet and greet was such a good one... worth the wait.
After meeting all the characters Lily said Mickey was her favorite "because he was silly with me."

And Minnie won for Charley's favorite.  C was so excited she couldn't stop bouncing around (her signature "I'm excited" move). :)  

We got to meet Mary Poppins this time!  When something came up about Mary Poppins' hat, C took off running... no idea where she was going.  She ran to the stroller, grabbed her hat and ran back with it to show Mary Poppins.  It was so sweet.

Lily's much loved parasol - her choice for a souvenir. 

Pool day!  Visiting the neighbor resort.

Beignets by the pool.

Boating to Disney Springs.

Dinner at T-Rex.

Lily the stork. ;)

Movies on the lawn back at the resort.  Of all the movies they could have played, they played Tangled.  Had to stay up late for that.

Happy 4th birthday, Charley!!!

Sporting her new Rapunzel watch and her Ariel shell necklace from Lily.

Racing to say hi to their horses, Sirsha (Lily's) and Lila (C's). 

Her birthday note from Lila and Lily (all Lil's sweet idea!).  She loved it. 

Breakfast at Cinderella's Castle!

Lil wanted everyone to do hands up on the roller coaster. :)

Love these teacup pics.

 

Rapunzel!

C looking on for one last minute before leaving.  Plus- this was the little friend she made in line - Blake.  She let him play with her necklace and it was just really sweet.

BBB!

Of course they had to forgo the classic bun and go for the Disney Diva with long pink extensions. ;)

I love her little smile.  I see that and try to put myself in her shoes -- what a fun moment.

Princess parade. :)

This was priceless... We were walking and C just stopped and  put her arms like this,  looking up at the sky.  She stood there in the breeze for probably 20 seconds (felt like a long time)... people walking by just looked and smiled.  It was like she was in this little state of bliss!  And then she opened her eyes and we kept going.

Move it Shake it Dance Party.

I"m 4!

I'm 6!

Determined to make it to the fireworks this time.

Hate Lily wasn't feeling good for this.  The fireworks/light show was awesome.

The end of a long day!

Brought our RMH shirts along in honor of Sport-a-shirt day back at preschool. 

Saying bye to their horsies.

Bye Disney!  It was fun!  Charley told me after a week or so back home that she wanted the hotel to be our home forever.  I said "What hotel... at Disney?"  She said "Yeah.  The Princess one."  :)
