The Wonderful World of Disney!!!

 Just last week, we returned home from a LONG trip to Florida at Disneyworld!!!!  We had an absolute BLAST and did EVERYTHING on this vacation!!! Here we are in front of Cinderella's beautiful castle!!

This kids were amazing the whole time but boy did we tucker them out just going and going and going!!

 The very first ride we went on was Jasmine's magic carpet!!  Ryan and Jane had the honors, first.

 Jane was THRILLED to meet her long time favorite princess, Ariel!!! Ariel and Eric were super sweet to Jane and had a nice long conversation with her :) They made her feel very special!

 Of course, we had to meet Tinkerbell- and even though I don't have a picture here of her, we also got to meet Tinkerbell's sister, Periwinkle, from the new movie coming out soon!!

 It rained 4 out of the 8 days we were there...ugh!!  But we were prepared and made the most of it :)

 Jane and Beckham were both so excited to meet our newest favorite princess, Merida!! She had the Scottish accent and everything- she was alot of fun.  Jane and Beckham both got to shoot a bow and arrow just like Merida does :)

 Here is the Beast's castle from the new portion of Disney World that is being built!!

 Jane and Ryan on the Winnie the Pooh ride...one of our favorites!!

 Here is Beckham enjoying the night time magic of Disney on the Dumbo ride:)

 Ryan saved us a little money by making the kids each a package of things that you can get from the Dollar store that Disney sells for 3x the price- like, glow sticks, glow balloons, character signing books and Disney character pens and Disney stickers etc etc.  This kids thought this was a very special treat and had a blast opening their packs!!

 We got to eat a very special breakfast at Cinderella's castle and meet many of the princesses- it was so much fun!!

 Here we are at breakfast- it was delicious!!

 meeting Snow White!!

 They even gave Jane a very special birthday treat.

 We loved meeting the wicked step sisters and step mother!!  They were hilarious and quite perfect :)

 Swiss Family Robinson house.  This was very nostalgic for me:)

 Oh the Pirate's League was such a treat for the kids!!  Beckham and Jane both got the star treatment as they were transformed into a pirate...

And a Mermaid...  The kids even got to go into a private, pirate's treasure room and get some treasure!!!

 Beckham says his favorite ride was the cars.  I suspect it was because he got to drive the car all by himself:)

 This is yet another wonderful character dining experience!!  It was delicious...

 ...and we got to meet all the characters from the Hundred Acre Woods!!

 Another special experience we had was to trick-or-treat at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party!!  It rained the whole time- but we still had a blast and the kids got tons of candy!!  At the party we got the meet all seven dwarves at once- this is the ONLY time that can happen so it was pretty special!!!

 The Halloweed parade was amazing.  Here are a herd of Zombies dancing!!

 We ate at the awesome Dinosaur restaurant because we knew Beckham would love it...and he did!! So did Jane- it was very cool. 

 The new part of the Magic Kingdom with Belle's house and the Beast's castle were still closed off, but we managed to get grabbed by some workers to come into it with some other people to experience it!!  It was really amazing and Jane got chosen to be part of the show!!!

 At the Animal Kingdom we went on a spectacular African safari and saw tons of amazing African animals like this Rhino!!  He was like several yards away from us!!

 We also got to see a really fun Finding Nemo show!!  It was wonderful!!

 And this was a special treat, we were able to catch Pocahontas, right before she had to run off!!

 Jane and Beckham in the shark's mouth- haha!!

 Epcot was our second favorite park!!  It was so much fun with a ton of great shopping and delicious foods to eat from different countries!! Here we are in the United Kingdom!!  All the workers from each different Epcot land were from the country that was represented.  It was alot of fun!!

 We got to meet Mary Poppins- my favorite!!!

 We also met Mulan in China!!!

 Here we all are in Germany!!

 Our last day was spent again at the Magic Kingdom and we got to meet Tiana!!

 Jane and I rode Jane's favorite ride, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, one more time!! 

We had such a blast and feel so blessed to have been able to have such a wonderful vacation!!!
