Florida Vacation - part 2

We spent two days at Disney and the girls absolutely loved it!  We stayed at Port Orleans Riverside, and the rooms were just so cool, I loved all the Disney details.  Jamie is quite the task master when it comes to planning out a day at Disney... it was tiring, but we definitely crammed in as many activities as possible with two little girls!  Somehow we managed to meet every princess that was available, so fair warning, this post is mostly pictures with princesses!  Maggie was able to do a few roller coasters, and she felt very brave and accomplished.  Evie was in awe of everything... 

Started our day meeting Mickey and Minnie!

"Mom it's Rafiki's tree!"

Epcot is where Anna and Elsa live, so we got to meet them and go on the new Frozen ride (which was pretty awesome). 

Frozen with excitement

Goofing with Anna

Pochahontas was actually the first princess Evie met
on the trip... she was geeked!

Mulan!

Trying to cheer up a sleepy Evie with ice cream... which
she didn't want... debating how much my stomach could hold

We love Bamax!
Our second day was spent at the Magic Kingdom.  We had a delicious breakfast at Be Our Guest restaurant, and were able to get into the park early because of our reservation - score!

Welcome to the Magic Kingdom

Classic photo op... note the lack of sweaty, cranky crowds

This was almost a cute photo...

Fireworks
Roller Coaster buddies - Maggie is obsessed!

Somehow Jamie managed to get us reservations at Cinderella's Royal Table for lunch.  This was a major highlight for the girls because they got to eat lunch in the castle and chat with the princess throughout.  We met most of the princesses that day, and Evie was just beside herself, it was so fun to see.   Both of them were terrible conversationalists, just frozen with huge smiles while the poor princesses tried to ask them questions.

A whole new world
One of Evie's favorite princesses

Snow White was one of the best "in character" princesses

Aurora didn't fall asleep during this visit

Hugs from Donald Duck

Goofy is always so silly, Evie got a kick out of him

Merida, totally my favorite princess, super fun with the girls

Rapunzel trying to figure out where in Michigan we're
from using her hand... the girls were sadly clueless
Evie was over the moon ever time she met a princess
Maggie had to keep telling the princesses that Evie was
about to turn 3, since Evie just held up her whole hand
whenever anyone asked

Poor Ariel with handsy Evie
Cinderella said we should get 3 cakes for Evie's 3rd birthday!

Evie's excitement is palpable

I'm so glad we got to take the girls for a couple days!  It was such a fun and exciting way to end our trip to Florida!  

We left town the next day, sat in several traffic jams, but made it home to Michigan in one long 22-hour stretch of driving!  As soon as we walked in the door, Evie asked if we could go back to Florida.
