Disney World Part 4- Epcot

 We absolutely loved Epcot.  Two of Eva's favorite rides are there, the green house ride and the invention one that goes up in the giant ball.  Two completely forgettable rides to anyone else but Eva can't stop talking about them.  We rode the rides all morning then walked our way through the countries.  This was especially fun for the girls because they got to meet tons of princesses!  Just to warn you we are starting to look the part of bedraggled tourists.  Soph was a hot mess but still looked cute in her vintage Mickey Mouse shirt that I wore on my first visit to Disneyland when I was 4. 

 Amazing pastries in France. 

 

 

 To end our day we went over to the Polynesian to eat dinner and watch the fireworks show. 

Disney World Part 3- MGM Studios

 Day two we hit up MGM studios. 

 Sophie finally got to meet her Minnie Mouse.  She is pretty much obsessed with Minnie.  Soph was a little scared by it all. 

 Disney Junior show was awesome.  The kids loved it. 

 We ate at the SciFi drive in where we got to eat in cars and watch a movie on the big screen.  It was the most relaxing meal I've had in years. 

 Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground was awesome. 

 Loved the city-scape sets. 

Disney World Part 2 - Magic Kingdom

We spent our first day at The World at Magic Kingdom.  It truly is magical.  I teared up with excitement when we walked in.  It's just so exciting!!! We were eager little birdies and got there before the park opened.  A great move because we were able to knock out the biggest rides before the lines filled up.  Then we spent the day running from one ride to the next.  Eva and Sophie naturally loved it.  Their favorite rides were Small World, Peter Pan and Ariel's ridey thingy.

Sophie's going to love this picture some day. 

Sophie and Zacky rocked out with Disco Goofy while the adults rediscovered how terrifying Space Mountain is. 

We just happened upon this little gem.  It is Story Time With Belle.  It was amazing.  You begin in Belle's cottage and then through a bit of Disney magic, you are transported through a magic mirror into the Beast's castle. There, you meet up with Belle in the library of the castle and the kids then act out (with props provided) the story of Belle and the Beast falling in love.  It's seriously so cute.  Again.  I cried when Belle came in.  And I cried when I told my friend about it a week later.  I just got caught up in the magic of it all!  Here is a pic of Eva acting out her part as Maurice cold and shivering in jail. 

Finally, the coup de grace. My favorite part of the Magic Kingdom.  The Main Street Electrical Lights Parade.  I've wanted to see this for a long time.  When that awesome techno music came on and the floats came out... yep... cried.  Even though I had my eyes on my girls' faces most of the time.  I love seeing the look of pure wonderment and excitement in their eyes.  Fittingly, it was a magical first day.
