Disney Part 1

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  Both kiddos were sick so we didn't really do that much except help our good friends move, which was actually pretty fun!  It was nice having a low-key weekend after coming back from Disney.

We had such a good time on our Disney trip... here's the recap {warning: picture overload!}

We got in on Thursday - late afternoon, checked into the hotel and walked around and saw what the hotel had to offer.  We stayed at the New Orleans French Quarters Resort.  It was nice, and decked out like New Orleans.








The next morning we woke up and headed to Magic Kingdom.  It has always been my favorite park.  Don't get me wrong, I love all of the Disney Parks, but there's something about the Magic Kingdom that makes you feel like a kid all over again.


When we got in the park the Dream Along With Mickey show was about to start - it was great!  We've seen it on YouTube many times so it was neat to see it in person.






After the show we headed to It's A Small World.  It was Jonah's first time on big rides so we wanted to ease into it and start off with something bright, pretty and music - he LOVED the ride!





We continued on in Fantasy Land which I was so excited to see because they re-did a lot of it.  There's now Ariel's castle and ride...













There's also meet and greet areas for the characters through Fantasy Land which is great because you know where the characters are at so pictures with them are guaranteed! The kids loved seeing the characters and J was fearless, I was sure he'd be scared of them - but he enjoyed seeing them all and giving them hugs and high-fives!




After the meet and greet we went on Dumbo



We met a few princesses




I loved seeing Belle's area, you feel like you're in the movie walking through the village, and seeing the Beast's Castle (more on that next time).  We also did Storytime with Belle where she told the kids the story how she met the Beast and the kids were able to play parts in the story - it was super cute!





It was a fun day, we saw the Street Dance Parade and left the park at dusk






Stay tuned for part 2 of our trip :)

Aww, love the pictures! You all look so happy! I've stayed at Port Orleans before and loved it! Did you happen to catch the live music near the lobby? I forget the guy's name but he was amazing! Can't wait to hear about the rest of the trip!

Ah so much fun!! The kids look like they had the best time! Did you stroller it with your little guy or just walk? We are thinking of going but I feel like I need to be super prepared!
