This year's family vacation..... Day 1 and 2

 
This year we saved our summer vacation until the fall and went to ..............Disney World.
 
It was awesome.

 
On our first day... we went to Hollywood Studios...the weather was iffy. It misted rain and was cold today.


There wasn't much to do in Hollywood Studios for Reese's size except shows, shops, and a few rides. 
* The only ride we took was the Stars Wars ride. ( we did that 3 times. ) Reese loved the star ship. She even got to be the spy the empire was protecting in the third ride.) I wish I had a pic.



 
We ate at Hollywood and Vine with some Nick Jr characters.
This was a lot of fun and the food was great. I would eat there again.
 
 

 

( Ignore Reese's hair... it was misting rain and I had just taken it down to comb.... when Doc McStuffin dropped over )







Princess Sofia was so cute...



Reese couldn't wait until Handy Mandy came by ....











And we love Jake....






The kids also got to dance and sing. I don't think Reese ate much but she loved that diner.( Reese still wasn't feeling too good so I don't she would have eaten much anyway. )




Then we walked along the studio and checked out the street before it was lit for Christmas.








 





After a walk about,  we watched a few shows...Beauty and the Beast, the Muppets, and of course the Frozen.











 
 
 

Reese just wouldn't be having fun unless she can have her face painted so we had to do that... the Ice Princess of course...And Minnie Mouse ears were a must in Disney right ? ( However we should have just bought the regular ones. These we uncomfortable and will probably never be worn again. )



The Frozen princess had to do a little Elsa posing ... Let it snow...





I guess I might as well join in too... 
 

In between shows, we played in the snow at Oaken's Trading Post











 





 










 








Reese loved it but it was basically ice and hard to play with...
But she had to build an Olaf..she is Elsa of course.



Then at 6:00 the town totally transforms and is lit for Christmas. This was the best part of the day.... They really know how to do Christmas lights.







 















The lights and music were awesome but there were so many people it was unreal.





Day 2

We went to the Magic Kingdom.... and this was our favorite park.
Today the weather was muggy and warm but looking like rain at any time.
 
 










Cinderella's Castle was as spectacular as I imaged.... Reese loved the Magic Kingdom...( so did mommy... )














We rode Aladdins Magic Carpets...










We took a jungle cruise...




Climbed The Swiss Family Treehouse...









Took a ride down Splash Mountain...





 
I got drenched....  
 



Rode some race cars...








Took a spin in the tea cups... 






And flew with Dumbo...










Mark and Reese had to wait forever to ride Dumbo and the ride itself lasted at the most 2 minutes... it was a bit of a bummer.








We needed a little break so we took some time with the princesses...




We tried so hard to fast pass a visit with Elsa and Anna ... but that booked up too fast. We did however get to make an appointment with Rapunzel & Cinderella...


Princess Rapunzel was very sweet and took up time with Reese...


Even with a fast pass, we had to wait over 30 minutes...


 


Cinderella was so beautiful...
 













After a little princess time, we got back to the rides....


Next up ... the Dwarf mine train...


they fly by so fast, I couldn't get a picture.. but Reese loves roller coasters as much as her dad...


Then we were blessed on our way to the next ride, the line to see Queen Elsa and Princess Anna was only 40 minutes. Reese just had to see Elsa


An the wait turned out to be even quicker than 40 minutes... more like 25 to 30 minutes.



 At last we made it inside the castle to met Queen Elsa






Someone was very excited to have her dream come true....she was so shocked to be in Queen Elsa's presents, she couldn't talk but she could hug, and hug, and hug.
 



 







Princess Anna was so nice. She took a lot of time up with Reese. It was so special I know she will never forget it.
