Magic Kingdom

Tuesday we had breakfast with Mickey at the Contemporary Resort and Mickey brought all his friends!
The kids were ready with their autograph books!
Donald was the first one to come out to see us, and what a nice greeting we had!
Goofy was next, and Braden was such a Goof when he came out!!
Goofy told B he had big muscles!
Then came the main man, Mickey!
He was a great guy!
Minnie was sweet, she loved on both kids!
The kids loved to see Pluto sign his autograph, he had to hold it up high to see.

Caitlin doing the dance, swinging her napkin around for all the characters!!

Little did we know that B had a fever at this time. Poor guy!

DISNEY!!

This past Sunday we surprised the kids with a trip to Disney World. They had no idea we were going anywhere much less Disney! We woke them up at 7 and told them we were leaving, but did not tell them where we were going! They thought we were going to the beach with Nana and Poppy b/c that is where we go every summer. I have hundreds of pictures but will try to pick a few to post on here. The ones for this post are backwards. They are from the first day/night, Sunday.
We went to the Magical Kingdom when we got there and stayed for the Electrical Parade and Fireworks. What a great way to start our trip!
The kids were so excited to see all the characters!
B getting ready to watch the parade, drinking a Diet Coke!
The first Big ride we did was Splash Mountain! We quickly realized Caitlin loved the fast, crazy, dark and wild rides! Braden likes the easy going laid back rides.
Braden realizing what he was going to do!
Both kids getting ready to ride their first Big ride. C doing her new pose!
B in It's a Small World.
It's A Small World!
C excited to ride her first ride in Disney. This is the only ride we did twice.
Both kids saw the Merry Go Round and wanted to ride it. It was not too long of a wait.

The first thing we saw when we got to Magic Kingdom!
We stayed at Port Orleans French Quarters. It was a great place to stay!


The kids liked to explore the place.
