Disney

On Saturday, we headed to Disney. The girls rolled their own suicases like big kids. Emma was thrilled to ride the airport bus with no carseat (she kept yelling "wow!!") and have her own seat on the plane! We ate at Raglan Street pub, where Emma stole quite a few finger licks from Dan's beer flight and then danced on stage, fitting in well with the Irish dancers.

Sunday we did Magic Kingdom right! Got in early for breakfast in the Beast's castle. They screwed something up, so we got 3 additional fast passes to use whenever on anything. With 6 fast passes, we never waited in line, met Belle, Cinderella and Elena, rode the mine train, the carousel, small world, Ariel's ride, and Peter pan, happened to be in the right place at the right time for 3 parades/shows, scored a bubble maker and two Mickey balloons, and made it back about two hours after our bedtime!

Monday we went to Epcot. We rode the Nemo ride and played at the aquarium. We had the best lunch meeting our favorite princesses: Snow White, Cinderella, Belle, Aurora, and Ariel. We went to the splash pad, where we got soaked and shockingly Emma didn't get sick from drinking all the water 🤢. We came back to play in the pool, took a boat to dinner, played on a playground and passed out within minutes of hitting the pillow. Sweet Emma is such a big girl, doing everything by herself. And then she gets scared on the dark rides and all of a sudden she's my baby again. She fell asleep in the stroller in line to get on the bus. You have to fold the strollers up - and I was shocked when she stayed asleep for me to hold her, stayed asleep as we put her back in the stroller, and then stayed asleep another hour as Gigi walked her all around our property. It was a marathon nap day. 

Tuesday was back at the magic kingdom, starting with breakfast with Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, and Eeyore - where Emma fell in love with piglet. We rode the train, buzz light year, magic carpets, the teacups, and racecars. Got a Mickey pretzel. Emma sat in Olivia's lap in the stroller, they shared an icey lady-and-the-tramp style, and picked out princess dresses and shoes 😍. Made a few more shows, and headed back just in time for dinner.

Wednesday we left Disney bright and early. The girls played their bubble machine (which sings 'under the sea') all the way to the bus. Quite the fanfare! Emma passed out sitting up while the fight attendant handed her her apple juice. That has never happened before! And when you ask Olivia her favorite part, she says "swimming in the pool." 🙄 These girls had a blast! And their Gigi and Grandpa are so sweet to have taken us, put up with the girls, walked Emma 2.5 miles to get her to nap, and been stellar cupholders. I hope it's a trip these girls never forget! Emma even fell asleep on the plane as the flight attendant was taking her drink order. She said "juice" and face-planted on the armrest.
