The last moments, but not the end...

It's hard to believe this trip we've been talking about and planning for a year has come to a close...

Some highlights of yesterday....

We began early at Toy Story Midway Mania (an amazing ride)

Here's a link to a video of the amazing Mr. Potato Head animatronic

And...then characters....




She's got it down now!


And we finished the day with an amazing princess meal at Akershus Castle in Norway, at Epcot...










And a final precious moment of us all riding Soarin' together...this may be Kelly's favorite ride...

Here's a link to watch it..  http://youtu.be/_TXh-HZFzrg

We finish up this morning with a character breakfast at Chef Mickey's....we're ecstatic...This has been such a wonderful blessing to spend this time together in this magical place.  I hope you've enjoyed sharing this experience.  Check back as I'll continue to add pictures and commentary on days I just wasn't able to keep up with while we were here.  These may be our final moments on this indescribable vacation, but it will definitely not be then end of precious moments remembered every day of this joyful blessing God gave us.  God bless you all!

Another amazing day...

We opened up Magic Kingdom today. So much fun...Bunches of characters and Princesses ride in on the train singing Zipadee-doo-dah...followed by fireworks...it was super cool. Kelly had her very first requested close-up encounter with a costumed animal (this is huge), Marie from Aristocats and she hasn't stopped hugging animals since. Woo Hoo! Got to experience Story time with Belle twice today. Very special...Amanda, Kelly, Zakk and I got picked to participate in telling the story. What a blast! Will post pictures for that a bit later. Finished the day eating dinner at the Crystal Palace with Pooh and friends (more hugging). It's been another amazing day...

Day 1 and Day 2 at Disney

Day 1


Wow! We began our day with Princesses and ended it with Pirates! Perfect! LOT'S of people here. Fantasmic and Beauty and the Beast were great today. Also got to ride It's a Small World with the girls and Tower of Terror with the guys. Great bookends on the day.






Day 2

Day 2 begins with a trip to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for Princess preparation before heading to Cinderella's Castle for a special lunch with Kelly's best friend Evelyn and our great friends the Melius family.  An unforgettable day in so many ways.
