The kids knew that I was training for the DisneyWorld Marathon,
but they didn't know we were taking them along until they opened their last Christmas present.
I can't even describe how much I love Disney--
and getting to combine a fun trip with a race made it even more awesome!
We hit the Magic Kingdom our first day, but I was late getting there since I had to pick up my race packet. Paul has the first day there photos!
We also had a great time at Epcot (despite Nora's face)
Hollywood Studios was a big hit this year too,
especially since the big kids loved Rock 'n' Roller coaster and we finally convinced Matt to go on the Tower of Terror. He's got a lot of his mom in him--that one is not our favorite!
Paul discovered a great drink spot behind this truck--they put flavored syrup in your coke for you!
Headed over to the big rides!
We also loved Animal Kingdom. Everyone except Nora could ride Everest, so she liked to hang out and have an ice cream bar! Not a bad way to pass the time...
Matt & Afton with Everest in the background...
One of the best things about going to Disney on this trip was seeing the new part of Fantasyland!
Ariel has a new ride and castle backdrop...
Belle has a new story-time in the Beast's Castle.
We even got to take part in the story...
Nora was Mrs. Potts and Afton was Chip. I played a scared Maurice, "shaking" behind the tower bars!
It was so cute and the kids each got a picture and bookmark from Belle at the end.
These girls love the Magic Kingdom almost as much as their mom!
There was a cute new backdrop for the newest princess, Merida.
She was so cute and the girls loved her!
And our favorite tradition--lunch at Cinderella's Castle!
You get a yummy meal and the princesses come around to your table-hard to beat that!
We've seen this Sleeping Beauty there before--she is adorable!
And an afternoon Dole Whip! Perfect break from the activity.
We stopped in the final Picture stop to make sure we got all our princesses in-
another fabulous trip to DisneyWorld and we can't wait to go again!
