Disney Wrap-up

Here are a few more pictures of our time at Disney.  It was a great time had by all. So great, in fact, that one of Kate's toys decided to stay behind.  More on that another day.

When you wear a pin that says "Happy Birthday," everyone at Disney is programmed to tell you happy birthday. And bring you cupcakes. For breakfast.

Standing in front of the Winnie the Pooh ride.

Pooh's house in a big tree was the only thing she kept asking to go back too.  Who can blame her? It was a cute little house!

What do you think? Don makes a good pirate, no? The dread locks are a nice touch.

Sometimes the lines were long.

But it was usually ok because you got to see cool characters like Daisy.

Did you know Snow White could fire a rifle?

She enjoyed Tom Sawyer's Island and Fort, but the light-up shoes started to get uncomfortable about this time.

Watching a parade. Interesting sock style going on here.

This was often the scene once we got back to the room.  Every day Kate picked out a set containing a small princess and all of her clothing and accessories.  She was such a good girl for the entire trip. NO meltdowns or toddler tantrums.  She was always in great spirits and listened well. Whose kid is this?

On Saturday night we went to Mickey's BBQ to celebrate her birthday.  I said "Hey Kate! You can go dance with Minnie."   She waltzed right up through the crowd and danced right beside Minnie.

And here's the Mickey Cake she's been talking about for months.  It's getting late and she's getting tired in this photo. Really, she loved it. :)

It was a cake to feed 10-15 people. Obviously we shared, and still brought a lot home. Kate also sat on it (in the box), so it's pretty lopsided now.

 The plan on the last night was to watch the fireworks from the hotel balcony.  We stayed at the Contemporary Hotel, which I think was the original Disney hotel. It sits right next to the Magic Kingdom.  Space Mountain is literally in the parking lot.  Means we had a great view for the fireworks.  Too bad Kate never saw them. Please notice those little pink cheeks. She and Don both had a virus for the 3 days we were there.

Beautiful! The sound for the show is also piped right into the hotel, so we could hear everything as if we were in the park.  It looks so far away here.

And what trip to Disney is complete without Mouse Ears? Kate picked princess ears, of course. Mason was a little more traditional.

She calls them Bride and Groom ears. Silly girl.

 Since this trip we've also celebrated two birthdays and our anniversary.  Now we all have colds (except for M, but I'd bet he's up soon). I'll catch up with posts one day. December is crazy!!!
