Florida: Magic Kingdom!!!!

This is the day we had been waiting for...Magic Kingdom! From the moment we arrived in Florida Paige was asking where Mickey's house was. She could not wait to get to Magic Kingdom.

Here we are waiting for the monorail into the park.


This right here made the whole trip worth it!! This was Paige's reaction as the Magic Kingdom came into view and we were finally there!


Walking in:

It's our tradition to open the park every visit. Luckily Keith's dad happened to check the website the day before and realized that Magic Kingdom opened an hour earlier today. Apparently not many people checked the website becuase there was hardly anyone there! For the first couple hours we walked on every ride! Score!

Here is Paige with Grandma watching Mickey and his friends in the welcome show before the gates opened.

I couldn't find Ty for a minute and then I saw him here. He had snuck his way up front to get a good view.

And then the gates opened...

When we were looking at books to get ready for the trip Paige kept telling us she wanted to see the temple...aka Cinderella's castle! So cute.

Keith's sister's family:

Check out the upside down shades!

Our first character sighting of the day!

Paige was SO excited to ride "the horses!"

We always kick off our visit at Magic Kingdom with a ride on Dumbo!

So fun to share the trip with cousins! These guys got a long great!

One of Paige's very favorite rides...Small World. This wasn't much of a surprise to use considering it involved her favorite things: music and dancing! We had to ride it several times, of course.

Even the line to meet Mickey wasn't long! We totally lucked out this trip!

and the princesses. Paige was so cute, introducing her "boys" to each of the princesses, complete with names and ages.

Horrible picture of Aurora, but I love the look on Paige's face looking up at her.

Some of the gang on the Winnie the Pooh ride.

Pretty sure Keith has a crush on this pirate!

Grandpa always hooks the kids up with ice cream.

Chip and Dale kicked off an impromptu dance party and my boys loved it! They were the best brake dancers there!

Carter played hard!

We took the ferry back...we were one tired bunch, but it was worth every sore muscle!!
