Disney

Disclaimer: I wrote this a while ago.

For those of you who don't know, we just got back from our vacation to Florida. We went to Disney one day and the pool two days. It was a blast! My mom was able to come with us which made it feel more like a vacation since she cared for the kids so much. I know we would have returned much more harried and exhausted had she not come. PLUS, we love her company and the kids adore her. So, thanks for coming Mom!

Addy was so excited to go to Mickey Mouse's house (she called it "M-Mouse house") When the day finally came for us to go she was ready. Equipped with an armload of souveniers from the front entrance we proceeded to Cinderella's castle to watch the character show (songs, dance, etc.) that they have to welcome you into the park. When Addy saw Mickey & Minnie Mouse for the first time she was grinning and giggling... and believe it or not I think it was more fun for us to watch her enjoying the "magic" of Disney more than it was for her!

In awe



Our family in front of the famous castle.







Immediately after the show (and our photo shoot) we ran into pluto and daisy duck. Because you had to wait in line for quite a while to say hi we only choose Pluto and held our breath to see how she would respond....

and she did great! She gave him a hug and a kiss and then posed for a picture in the bright sun.




Afterwards she inisted we go to Mickey's house. We stood in line for quite a while to see the little critter... but it was worth it to Adeline. She ran right up to him with a grin on her face and snuggled with him for quite a while.



Getting her to stand next to him for a picture was comical. She wanted to plop down and camp out right next to Mickey.



Next was Minnie's house! This line was much longer but Addy was a trooper and waited joyfully.

Here she is at Minnie's house.





Anxiously anticipating Minnie's meeting.




And finally, greeting Minnie with a sweet kiss!



And LONG snuggles. We actually had to pry her away.



More to come!
