Disney World Vacation January 2011

Here are some pics from our last day at Disney World. We spent the day at the Magic Kingdom. We also did the Disney Vacation Club tour of Bay Lake Tower and we got some great photos from there observation deck on top of the resort. I would love to join the Vacation Club!

We are already planning our next trip to Disney World for this December!!! I can't wait to go back! And I can't wait to see how beautiful it is at Christmas with all the lights and decorations! Michelle Davis of Vacation PlanIt is helping me book this trip as well. Don't forget to friend her on Facebook! And tell her I sent you!

Here is Emme checking herself out in her new Minnie Mouse ears and her new Minnie Mouse dress! I love this pic!!!


I can't wait to get pics of her in this very same hat for years to come!


The view of our resort the Grand Floridian from the top of Bay Lake Tower resort.


View of the Magic Kingdom from Bay Lake Tower.


Here is a close up view of the castle from Bay Lake Tower. I'm so glad we bought a new long range lense for our Rebel before we went on this trip.


View of the Contemporary Resort (which is next door to Bay Lake Tower) and this shows the monorail entering the building.


This was taken while riding the People Mover in Tomorrow Land (part of Magic Kingdom).


Emme met Chip and Dale.


We weren't sure who was who and so they were pointing to their noses to let us know that is how you tell them apart. But we still didn't know who was who. haha! I had to look it up online later and Chip has a black nose and Dale has a red nose. :)






Here is a pic of the Cinderella float in the Magic Kingdom parade. The parades in Disney World are so awesome!!! Maybe only beaten by the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.


Emme playing around on the carriage outside the Grand Floridian resort while we waited for the Magical Express to come pick us up and take us to the airport.




We spent our last night in the Hyatt inside the Orlando airport and this pic was taken from our 9th floor balcony down into the airport terminal. This was a great hotel. This airport is nice too. It has lots of restaurants and stores in it.


Taking a nap before the flight home.


Bye Bye Disney World! We miss you!!!

Emme Claire's 1st Disney World Vacation!!!

This vacation was so much fun for all of us! Disney World definitely makes you feel like a kid again! Emme Claire had the best time meeting all her favorite characters plus lots of new ones she had never seen before. I think we got her picture taken with nearly every Disney character there is! Haha! She was in AWE of them! She would just stare at them and wouldn't want to look at me for pics. She loved all the princesses. I think mainly because they were so pretty and dressed up so fancy! She didn't want to take her eyes off them! There were only a few characters that she wasn't so sure about but she never cried or anything. If she was afraid of them she would just make me or Brian hold her while she met them. I will share some of the pics from our vacation on here over several posts. We took about 1500 photos so I won't be able to show you all of them, only a small portion of my favorites. We were gone for 6 nights so we saw and did a lot. I'm also going to do a few posts with tips for parents with small children and just tips in general from my experience with Disney World. I've only been once but I learned a lot of dos and don'ts during our trip. Plus I'll give a few reviews of some restaurants we ate at and our resort too. But for now I'll share a few pics.

Emme Claire's first plane ride. She behaved so well and enjoyed her flight.


She got to eat snacks. Goldfish that I packed plus the pretzels the flight attendant gave her. She got her own Cran Apple juice too. And she got to watch a cartoon during the flight.


Emme's first character encounter was with Cinderella at Cinderella's Royal Table dinner. She loved Cinderella!!! Can you tell she was in AWE of her?!
