DISNEY. WAS. MAGICAL

Disney was everything we hoped it would be! I want to go through every little detail, but the pictures will have to tell our story.

I also have to share my favorite moments of each kiddo.  Brooks is very into Frozen, so he loved the sing-a-long and getting to meet Elsa and Anna.  Mommy may have shed a tear watching his joy come alive while he was singing his heart out.

Ramsey is a bit more reserved (as you'll see in the pictures), but when we met Mickey he held Mickey's hands and sang the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse song to him.  Mickey got down on his knees and let him sing the whole song, it was so special!


 

 

The kiddos loved where we stayed, Art of Animation, because of all the fun characters.  It made our walk to the pool, dinner, and buses fun everyday.  Those of you who know Brooks know how excitable he is, so you can only imagine.

 



We had breakfast at Play N' Dine and got to meet Jake, Doc McStuffins, Sofia, and Handy Manny.  This was the boys first experience with the characters and they couldn't stay in their seats!







Some favorites at Hollywood Studios: Frozen Sing-a-long, Disney Junior, Little Mermaid, and the Toy Story ride (although it broke half way through and we had to get off- but we got an extra fast pass for it).







At Epcot we loved Soarin', talking with Crush, our special lunch with Chip & Dale (the restaurant rotates in a circle, and meeting Elsa & Anna.

















At Animal Kingdom we enjoyed the Safari & Everest (a rollercoaster), but our most favorite ride was the River Rapids!  We rode it twice!  We were so thankful that Ramsey was exactly 40 inches tall so he could ride a lot of things!





















And, of course, Magic Kingdom was our favorite!  The boys loved everything!  My favorites: Peter Pan, Dumbo, Pirates of the Caribbean, a boat tour, and watching the kids meet Cinderella & Elena of Avalor!







The boys loved the teacups (mommy is old and got dizzy, lol).  The boys got their first shot at driving too!







And we enjoyed dinner at the Crystal Palace with Winnie the Pooh and his friends!  We followed that up with a street dance, meeting Mickey Mouse, and fireworks over the castle!  It was a truly special trip!













On our way back from Magic Kingdom we were walking back to our rooms and the boys said, "I miss Eden.  I miss the way she laughs.  I miss her hugs.  I miss when she plays with us."  And it was a perfect ending to the trip.  We were all ready to get back and love on our girl!  The pictures below were the morning that we were leaving, a few pictures with the Cars characters (and some leftover pictures that were taken by the Disney photographers in the parks).
