Bill and I surprised the girls with a trip to Walt Disney World last week. It was an awesome trip and exceeded our expectations. We stayed at Wilderness Lodge on the Magic Kingdom property which was so nice. We only had a short boat ride and we were at the entrance to the Magic Kingdom. The service in Disney is outstanding and our resort and the parks were decorated beautifully for Christmas. We decided to visit the beginning of December because it is supposed to be less crowded. We really didn't wait long for any rides except the new Fantasyland area where we had some wait times It was definitely a great time to go to Disney!
During our trip, we spent 2 days at Magic Kingdom and 1 day at Animal Kingdom. It was a perfect for our girls and their ages. We were also lucky enough to get reservations at two very hard to get character dining facilities (have to book 6 months out). We had breakfast at Cinderella's Royal Table in the castle and dinner at Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary Resort. They were both fantastic and the girls had a blast.
We had chilly and cloudy weather the first half of the trip but the second half was warm and sunny so we were able to make a trip to the resort pool which was so much fun. The girls loved swimming in December with Christmas music playing in the background. I was a little worried about Ellie during the trip with her naps but she did really well. She was a trooper and did really well with no naps. Ellie loved her first roller coaster and her favorite character was Pluto. Madelyn loved Minnie Mouse and meeting Tinkerbell and her sister Periwinkle. They both loved the parade in the Magic Kingdom and were able to stand right up front in front of the castle. I've been to Disney World several times but it is completely different when you see it through the eyes of your children. It really is a magical place!
I could go on forever about our trip to Disney, but I wanted to put some of our favorite pictures on the blog. I'm actually going to make a separate photo album on our trip to capture all of our memories!
