Disney World: Magic Kingdom

We were so blessed to be able to spend 2 days in Disney World last week.  What fun it was, and though I took lots of pictures, I didn't get pictures of everything we did and I am not posting every picture I took (though by the time you are done looking through them, it may seem that I have).

We spent the first day in Disney World at Magic Kingdom.  Here we are as we approach the entrance. 

We made sure we got to see Mickey and were surprised to meet Minnie too!

"It's a Small World" was one of our first stops.

Asher loved riding on Cinderella's Carousel.

We all enjoyed rides like The Pirate's of the Carribbean, Peter Pan's Flight, the Flying Dumbo ride, and Alladin's Magic Carpet Ride:

Malachi's special treat was getting to ride a kiddy roller coaster with Daddy and then he got to ride Splash Mountain and Thunder Mountain Railroad.  All of which enormously thrilled him.  Cory said he was never scared and smiled and aughed through them all.

And this was Karis and Mommy's special treat... lunch at Cinderella's castle.
We walked in right off the blistering hot street and were brisked to the front of the line to get our picture taken with Cinderella since our table was ready. This all was a little much for Karis to handle so she was a little shy to get her picture taken with Cinderella, which is why I am in the picture with her. Needless to say, this picture is not going to be hung on any walls. I actually can't believe I am posting it, but I knew Mam-maw and Aunt Mel would want to see it.


As we walked away from Cinderella and up some winding stairs to our table, Karis asked me why Cinderella wasn't coming to eat with us.  I was worried that she would be dissipointed that cinderella wasn't actually going to be sitting with us, but all that changed when she got some food in her belly, began to cool off, and then saw an unexpected visitor enter the dining room.  There were actually 4 unexpected visitors and karis had the biggest smiles and clapped her hands in excitement each time one entered.  She kept saying, "Mommy!  I didn't know ALL the princesses were going to be here!"




 Now that our little princess has met the princessess, we need to work on her princess manners!

After our meal we met up with the boys and had an hour and a half downpour that kept us under a breezway in Cinderella's Castle.  When the rain slowed down significantly, Malachi and Karis wanted to play in the rain.

At some point in the day, we just happened to run right into a cowboy, or "bull-ride" as Asher says.

Malachi and Karis helped Mommy put this mean old robot in jail at Buzz Lightyear's laser ride.

We ended the day with a few pictures by the castle.



Night may have fallen on the Magic Kingdom, and we may have left it, but our fun wasn't over yet!
We had a pirate room to sleep in!

Here is Asher trying out his souvenir.  He knows nothing about Peter Pan (except that the ride was a little scary since it was dark in there), but he knows that red guy is the mean guy and growls everytime he plays with him.
More fun with Souvenir's...



Karis chose a "writing book" and pen, along with the ugliest thing in the store: the heart-shaped Arial pillow. At least it matches the blue in her bedspread here at home and really doen't look that bad.

It was a long and  tiring day, but well worth it! We had so much fun!
