Disney

There are so many reasons to love the Chris' new job but one of most memorable is that we got to go to Disney World.  When Chris found out he had to go to Orlando and stay at a Disney resort we decided that the girls and I should definitely tag along.  We took our time and did not try to do it all but we definitely tried to make the most of the opportunity!  Chris and I had such an amazing time watching Marianne!  It truly is a magical place.  Especially if you are 2 years old.

We had heard that eating with the characters was the best way to see them.  When we found out we could eat dinner with Cinderella in our hotel we decided that if we could get a reservation at a convenient time we would try to make it.  There was one available on our first night.  We got to the hotel just in time to check in and have Marianne change her clothes to go down to dinner.  It was a perfect way to start our trip!

 

We did start dinner late and Vera was not as impressed with all the characters so this is how she looked during dinner! Poor girl! 

 

But by the next morning she was ready to take on the day and the Magic Kingdom!  She was such a good sport and I think she enjoyed a lot of the activities too!

We got to the park early and our first stop was to see Mickey Mouse since the line was short and he was right near the entrance.

This is one of my favorite pictures!  Marianne could not stop looking at the castle.  I finally got her to turn around for a picture but this one is just too cute. 

Vera had a great time riding all the rides.  On Wednesday she clapped through every ride we went on!

 

Vera also loved all the characters.  She was not scared a bit!

We spent two days at the Magic Kingdom with a day of water play at the hotel in between.  Wednesday night we stayed to see the fireworks before the park closed.  It was a great way to end our time!  Marianne is already talking about going back!
