Day 2 - Animal Kingdom

Day 2, Ty woke up first and found Tink's gift and note sending us to Animal Kingdom!  We started with the Animal Safari seeing all kinds of wildlife up close, met some characters and loved the Fesival of the Lion King show.  Bay and Ty got to lead the crowd in a cheer and play the morrocos at the end!

We had lunch at the Tusker house with Donald, Goofy, Daisy and Mickey!

We rode as many rides as we could and ended at the petting zoo to meet Rafiki!

We were soaked on the River Rapids!

Downtown Disney and Day One at Magic Kingdom

We arrived in Downtown Disney just in time for lunch at TREX - a dinosaur like rainforest cafe x 100!  All the dinosaurs came to life throughout our meal and the kids loved it!  Then Belle had scheduled a Bibidi Bobidi Boutique appointment for Baylee - she got to pick out her hairstyle, eye shadow and nail polish and was in the princess parade throughout Downtown Disney!  Quite an exciting first day!

Incredible Hulk made of LEGOs!

Her Fairy Godmother!

We had dinner at Ohana at the Polynesian Hotel - our favorite meal food-wise!

The kids woke up to Pixie Dust left behind from Tink with a gift of these T-shirts for their first day to Magic Kingdom!  We began with breakfast at Cinderella's Castle~

Meeting all the princesses!

From Breakfast, we headed to ride as many rides as we could!  Their favorite was Splash Mountain and look who we found at the ride exit!  Woody and Jesse!

We rode Toy Story Mania and Buzz was making an appearance!

Ready for the parade with Mickey ears!

The parade was great!

After the parade was Magic Hours and we closed the park down at midnight!  We rode Space Mountain for the third time, Splash Mountain four times and Big Thunder Mountain three times!  My kids loved the rides and meeting the characters!

A wonderful yet exhausting first day!  Glad we had the stroller!

Visit with the Forbus Family

We decided to visit our sweet friends in Florida as we had planned a visit with Granddaddy and he went to be with Jesus before we made it to his home.  Since we had already purchased the tickets, we made it to see our friends who had moved away~  Bay and Ty were so excited to ride on a plane for the very first time!  They did great and had a perfect window seat!

Sweet Dena practicing her braiding skills!

We made it the planetarium and the kids had a ball!

Ice Cream in PJs!

Visiting the State Park and saw all kinds of alligators and manatees!

We went outside on Saturday night and found a huge basket with this Belle gown and Jake outfit!  Inside the basket was a letter from Belle herself asking us to come visit Disney since we were so close.  Her letter said that Tinkerbell would come every night and leave a gift and our schedule!  If we were able to come to Disney the kids had to blow the Pixie Dust that was in the basket and say Meeska Mouska Mickey Mouse and Tink would begin to plan!  We were Disney Bound~!
