The McCay Twins +1!: The BIG Disney Trip

After a year and a half of planning, the BIG Disney Trip has come and gone. We had a blast but part of me is a bit depressed about this. Last Christmas Matts parents turned what we thought was going to be a long Disney World vacation into part Disney/ part Cruise. Best gift ever.

We flew down this time around. After our trip in May we decided we could not possibly drive down again with a newborn, even 4 months later and splurged on the flight. Heaven. The girls were almost as excited about flying as they were about Disney. No clue why Hannahs smile is so weird here.

All ready for takeoff

Noah was a bit trickier this trip but still did great. He did not fall asleep as readily in the baby carrier this time so I did walk around Disney holding a sleeping baby. My arms are super strong now.

To cover some highlights...

On our first day in Magic Kingdom we got to go behind the wall of construction to see Belles Storytime, a new attraction not quite open in Fantasyland. It is adorable. All kids who want to participate (and a few adults who may not want to) can, as they help reenact the story of how Belle fell in love with Beast. Leah played Phillipe, Belles horse, but really just wanted to give Belle the flower she picked for her outside the attraction. Hannah was happy sitting by mommy.

And of course we saw many other princesses and characters, gave kisses to some... even danced with a few. And we got everyones autograph. Again. Some we got duplicates even.

Yup... we stand in a lot of lines for those autographs. All worth it so the girls can see their "friends".

The girls celebrated their birthday while in Disney, and got to have breakfast with the princesses in Norway. I am glad that it was so early and we were rushed because I did not have very long to cry over the fact my babies are five years old. But, for one that normally goes all out for a party every year, it was nice to just have breakfast with the family, and the princesses visit the table. The girls got to do a princess parade around the restaurant. Leah knows how to do it... she held Ariels hand the first time and Auroras flower basket the second.
