Disney...Day 4

On our last day at Disney we went back to Magic Kingdom which in our opinion is the best park.  There is just so much to do there for the kids.  It also happened to be Mother's Day and what a great way to spend the day.


Family photo in front of Cinderella's castle before we headed to the rides!


Since there was a show going on stage we decided to stop and watch.


Julia and Andrew enjoyed their first 3D show which was Mickey's PhilharMagic show.  So fun and we even got splashed with water a little bit.


Then we headed over to meet Ariel from The Little Mermaid and get her autograph.


Sweet hug from Princess Ariel.


Even Andrew and Daddy got in a photo with Ariel.


Next up was The Barnstormer...again!  We all loved this ride and Andrew also calls it the ride that goes fast.  He loved it!


Another favorite ride of Andrew's was the Buzz ride.  It was so great that we got to ride it again!


Julia liked the People Mover which is definitely a nice ride to just relax and look around.


Andrew and Daddy relaxing!


Last year we didn't get to ride the teacups since they were being refurbished so this year we made it a must do and boy oh boy does Julia like to spin and giggle too!


Not my favorite ride with all the double spinning but I made it!  I would much rather go on Space Mountain.


The Fantasy of Festival parade was an absolute must so we could see Anna and Elsa from Frozen because there was no way we were going to stand in line for 2-5 hours to get a picture with them.  Julia and even Andrew were thrilled to see them in the parade!


Rapunzel was on another float in the parade.


The floats were amazing and this one is no exception with Princess Ariel.


And the costumes are incredible too!  Disney pays attention to all the little details.


Pinocchio.


Daisy and Donald Duck


Of course Pluto!


Don't forget about Goofy.


Last but not least Minnie and Mickey Mouse.  Such an awesome parade with so many of our favorite characters.


The parade was at 3 which isn't an easy time for us since usually we'd be back in the room napping and relaxing.  As soon as we got in the car they were both out within minutes.


Even Julia was exhausted.  The late nights caught up with her and she was out.


After naps we headed back for more fun on our last and final night at Disney.  It was so fun going back at night and the lines were so short.  Going in the beginning of May is perfect since the lines are not all that long and at night they were even shorter so we had heaps of fun!


Still staying hydrated even at night.


Daddy and Julia riding Dumbo at night. We even watched the fireworks while riding Dumbo...such great memories.


Mommy and Andrew on Dumbo.  There was no line so we just rode it again without even getting off.


Back to the Barnstormer!  Andrew loved this roller coaster!  Before long he's going to be ready for Space Mountain.


The castle looked so pretty at night.  We even stayed and enjoyed part of the parade while eating an ice cream cone.


One last photo with their cousin Alexander before we hit the road.  We had another great trip to Disney and I'm so thankful for that.  I feel so lucky to live only 7 hours from Disney and we were able to provide this experience for our kids again...it was so much fun!
