Disney World

We finally took the kids to Disney World! They were in heaven the whole week! I thought taking them in the fall would be a good idea. It was still REALLY hot, but there were hardly any lines during the week and the kids got to ride their favorite rides over and over and over again!
We stayed at one of the Disney resorts, and it was nice being so close, and the kids liked having a pool that they could play in. For some reason I don't have any pictures of the swimming pool, but Kenzie loved it because they had a big water slide. We spent most of the time at Magic Kingdom. My kids just wanted rides the entire time. I tried to talk them into Animal Kingdom, they kept refusing. Oh well, this was their vacation anyway, right?

Their first ride was the carousel. Maddie called it the horsey ride, of course


Meeting Ariel, Kenzie's favorite Princess! I asked her if she was going to tell Ariel she was her favorite, and she said that she was going to try, but I should tell Ariel if Kenzie got too shy. She wasn't too shy!

Maddie called this ride the hippo ride, can't quite figure out where that one comes from, but it was one of her favorites



The kids could have gone on the tea cups a million times, I think we stopped at 20. Dave went once, and decided spinning rides still weren't for him, no matter how hard he tries!

Meeting Belle with their ears on.

Kenzie waiting for the fireworks to start. They had a really great fireworks display. The girls loved that part.



Ask Kenzie what her favorite ride is, and she'll tell you Splash Mountain! The first time she went on we got to the big hill, and she said "Mom, this is too scary I don't' like it". The second we got down from the hill, she said "Mom let's do it again!" she's a thrill-seeker for sure. I can't tell you how many times she rode this.
This was also the first time that Kenzie was tall enough to ride the "big kid" roller coasters, she rode Thunder Mountain Railroad lots too. We went back and forth between that and the kiddie coaster with Maddie.





The girls having lunch with the Winnie the Pooh bunch


We went to Epcot one day. Not much for Maddie to do, but they have a Nemo exhibit that they liked. Kenzie got to ride Soarin' with me and did the test track race car with Dave. After that we got to have lunch with all the princesses!





My cute little princess! She wanted to have a princess Aurora dress because it was pink!

Cinderella got a huge kick out of Maddie! We told her to say "cheese" and Maddie was screaming it (of course!). She was laughing so hard at her!







The entire trip they were begging for lollipops, we finally caved. Happy girls.
