Magic Kingdom

We headed off on our Disney World Adventure bright and early Tuesday November 6th, election day! Which was crazy! We always say we aren't going to ever book an early flight again and then we always do and then we regret it! Perhaps someday we will learn. These two were so excited to have their own row and to sit together!
Once we got checked into our Saratoga Springs hotel, we just hung out and played. These two were wiped out and both fell asleep while watching a movie. They slept this way for quite some time!!  
 
  These three were excited!!
 
Kean found a perfect little seat for him!
 The next day bright and early we were off to the Magic Kingdom. 
First stop, meeting the mouse behind it all. 
Mickey!

 Kai was excited even though she didn't really know who Mickey was!
Then we headed up main street with all of the other bazillion people. It was so crowded we were bummed but it was fun to have all the Christmas stuff everywhere!

Kai was so excited to see Cinderella's Castle since that is pretty much the only thing she knew about Disney World!
Family photo!
 


First ride, Buzz Lightyear! It was fun, I think the girls were a little confused on what to do!

I had to get a photo with McKean in front of the the Aliens since he is one of them now!

By this point McKean was ready for his nap so Jared took a sit and let him sleep. So darling!
Meanwhile we headed over to dumbo.

Of course the girls loved moving the ride up and down!

Then we headed over to the roller coaster! Brinley and Kai decided they wanted to go together and ended up in the very front. I wasn't too worried about Kai but I was for Brinley, they both did great and LOVED IT!
Then the best ride of all!
 The Teacups!!
Faster Justin! Poor Justin got stuck with the girls every time on this ride.
McKean enjoyed it too!!




 He wasn't too sure at first!

Next stop the favorite and most anticipated, meeting some of the princesses!!
Cinderella! 
Kai was pretty shy to them when they talked to her but she did hug them!! Oh the magically world of childhood!
Sleeping Beauty, It was cute how they would talk to the girls and make them each feel so special!

Rapunzel, who is my favorite! Kai being a little shy!
So sweet!
Playing a game!

They were so excited and definitely a little star struck!
Next we headed back to Cinderella's castle to eat some lunch and watch the parade!


 Kai dancing, she totally got my moves, sorry kiddo!

It was fun to see alot of the characters!
Jessie and Woody stopped right in front of us!
So the girls got to meet her! I love that Brinley and Savanna are holding hands!
You would think she was crying but she was just being shy!
Dancing with Goofy!

Dancing with Woody!
McKean just had to fun doing whatever!
Waiting for the best ride, It's a Small World!! Jared was so excited he could hardly contain his excitement!
Love these two squirts!
Keaner's trying to taking some steps towards our boat!
 
Finally it is our turn!
 


Lastly we headed over to a few last rides and saw Jasmine and Aladdin, we didn't want to wait in line so this the closest we got.
Exploring the Swiss family Robinson tree house!
Andrea trying to coordinate meeting up with her parents for dinner. It took forever to get to dinner, the Disney shuttles were definitely not our favorite thing and it was freezing!!! We had to walk across the whole downtown Disney to the restaurant, we were all cold, tired and hungry!! All in all it was a fun day, we were just all disappointed in how busy it was!! We were expecting it to not be busy since we had heard that that was one of the best weeks to go but apparently everyone else heard that as well. As the week went on we realized there were a bunch of different events going on like the food and wine festival at Epcot, the food and wine 1/2 marathon in the park, the big Christmas extravaganza opening night and then Hurricane Sandy had brought a  lot of people down who were looking to escape all the craziness!!
