What a MAGIC time we had...

Well, the past week we have been having a magical time at disney.  We all had a great time!  I was surprised at the things that Hope enjoy (& didn't enjoy), but overall we had a great time.

I really expected Hope to really get into meeting all the characters, especially the princesses and Tinker, but she just got really shy and froze.  I think the only pictures we have are of her with her hands over her face.  :)  Oh well.  The second day, she wore her Tinkerbell dress and wanted to go back to visit  Tinkerbell, and she was much better the second time around.  Tinker was very excited to see her dressed up like her and we thought she was going to scare Hope with her excitement, but Hope just rolled with the punches and enjoyed the visit that time.

The first day we visited Magic Kingdom.  About half way through the day Hope decided she needed a stroller, so we had a stroller the rest of our visit.  :)  We stood in long lines for the Dumbo ride and the Aladin magic carpet ride and to see the Fairies and princesses, and Jasmine that day.

The second day we went to Epcot.  We walked through each area dedicated to a different country, and Hope enjoyed the Fairy Butterfly garden art project and the Princess Tiana Garden too.  Finally, she said she wanted to go back to Magic Kingdom the rest of the day.  We went to see Tinkerbell Fairies again (over 60 minute wait) and thought Tinkerbell was going to attack you because Hope was dressed up in her Tinkerbell dress.  :)

The third day we went to Animal Kingdom.  We did the safari first thing, and explored the rest of the park. Later we went back to the hotel and swam.  It was slightly chilly since the sun was starting to set, and I was the lucky one that got to go swimming with Hope.  :)  It wasn't too bad if you stayed in the water.  Later I got to go to the hot tub to warm up after Hope went back to the room with Grandma Deloris.

We are so glad that Grandma Deloris got to go to Disney with us.  It was the first time for all of us to visit Magic Kingdom.  Joe and I went to Hollywood Studios (which was MGM Studios 15 years ago) on our Honeymoon, but didn't visit any of the other parks.  I am so glad that mom could come along and experience the MAGIC too.  Thanks Mom for all your help.

The last day we went to Hollywood Studios.  We saw the Little Mermaid show, rode the Toy Story Midway Mania ride (which was a lot of fun) and went to the Fantasmic Show (or something like that), that showed images on water, fireworks, Mickey Mouse, and so much more.  It was pretty cool.

My favorite parts of our trip included seeing all the characters up close,  the fireworks at Magic Kingdom with Tinkerbell flying through the air, and the lighted parade at Magic Kingdom.

We had a great trip and I hope you enjoy the pictures (to be posted soon).
