Florida 2011 {Disney World}

We spent a day in FL at Disney World. Elena said she was most excited to see Mickey.

She did get to see and meet alot of characters like Terrance and Tinker Bell from the Tinker Bell Movies although I don't actually have the picture of us with her.

Elena and Emmett got to meet "Pirate Goofy" just outside the Pirates of the Carribean ride.

And Elena saw The White Rabbit and Buzz Lightyear...are we bad parents since we didn't want to have to wait in line for their picture? We just cheated for a picture anyway.

The kids loved riding the carousel...

...and pirates of the carribean...

...and especially "It's a Small World". Other favorite rides were Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh, and Space Mountain. Yes, Elena was brave enough to even do Space Mountain!! She's a girl after my own heart:)

It took alot of convincing to get Elena to go inside the Haunted Mansion, but once we did, she was glad and said it was cool!

We had to do some shopping! The girls each chose something they really wanted. Since we first arrived, Elena knew she wanted a stuffed Pluto dog. We used it as a bribe to keep her well behaved and she was so happy to get one. Chanel's first choice was a Goofy doll that was as big as she was but we convinced her to scale down a bit. Here are the girls in some silly hats we found:)

There were several parades throughout the day and we were right on the corner for the afternoon parade and Mickey waved at Elena...she was sooooo excited!

The parades were fun since we were able to see more of the characters.

At night after the lights parade, they shoot of fireworks and have a slideshow ON the castle of all the pictures taken at the park that day. It was sooo cool! We stayed super late so that we could see everything. We were all so tired once we left, but we definately made the day worth it!
