Earlier this week Mike took a couple days off of work so that we could take the girls to the Magic Kingdom. We booked a time share package that gifted us two free Disney tickets and 3 nights in a hotel, the time share presentation was a learning experience (to say the least) but it was worth it for the money we saved for a 4 day trip.
The Magic Kingdom is a truly the place where dreams come true, it's a magical theme park that Mike & I LOVED visiting as kids. As parents we were overjoyed to experience the "Happiest Place on Earth" with our own daughters. I took a TON of pictures, it was hard picking which ones to post on our blog. So these are the best of the best.
Saying hi to Walt and Mickey.
Seeing the back side of water on the Jungle Cruise in Adventure Land.
Having lunch in Frontier Land after riding the Jungle Cruise and Pirates of the Caribbean. After lunch Mike took Mikayla on the Haunted Mansion, she's a brave little girl, unlike her older sister who was chicken. :) Oh well maybe Maddy will go in the Haunted Mansion next time.
Mommy was happy to see that Disney has added some healthy side options to the kids value menus. You can choose grapes, carrot sticks and/or milk of you want to skip the soda & fries. Maddy was getting over a stomach bug so were happy she ate anything.
Ready for the Dreams Come True Parade.
Ordinarily we skip the parade during the day and hold out for the Spectrum Magic Parade at night, but unfortunately there was no SMP planned on the day we visited the park. So we made sure we saw this parade at 3 o'clock and we were so glad we did! We saw Mickey, Minnie, Cinderella, Aladdin, Ariel, Lilo, Stitch, Mary Poppins, Snow White, Miss Piggy, Kermit, Woody, Jessie, Pinnochio, Peter Pan, Wendy, Alice and the Mad Hatter.

We love being in Tomorrow Land at night! It's exciting!
There was no Spectrum Magic Parade but there was fireworks! We got a spot right in front of Cinderella's Castle, it was an AMAZING display and the perfect way to end our day!
Our new camera shoots beautifully and quickly at night!
Main Street was mobbed on our way out of the park, it was also starting to rain, lucky for us we made it on the first departing ferry and the first departing tram!
One last picture of Mickey & Walt. Thanks for such a wonderful day!!!

What a fun vacation! I'm sure the girls will always remember all that great family time and fun! Glad you guys could get away for a few days.
Wow some great pictures, glad you guys had fun. Maddy and Mikayla look to be about the same size in that first picture, funny.
Mike, that's funny! I didn't notice that until I read your comment. It's because Maddy's a shrimp and Mikayla has huge feet!
