I am really behind on blogging, mostly because we have been soooo busy and this is the first time I have had time to sit down to recap our wonderful and exhausting trip to Disney world! As a Christmas present to the grandkids, my parents took us to Disney World the first weekend in December. It was the perfect time to go! The weather was in the low 70's, the parks weren't too crowded and it was decorated for Christmas!
Brinley and Reese all ready to go with their first of many mouse ears!
Friday morning, we got up bright and early and headed to Magic Kingdom. Brinley was really excited to see Cinderella's castle. I was very skeptical on how Clayton would react to all the characters, since he threw a fit when I tried to get him close to Santa before we left! As luck would have it, Pluto was standing at the entrance! Clayton is obsessed with Pluto and lugs one around wherever we go and sleeps with him every night! Clayton immediately ran up to him and gave him big hugs! That was the end of character fear for the little man!!
Clayton absolutely loved the Tea cups and cried when we took him off! He kept asking to ride cups! We couldn't spin him fast enough, he loved it! Brinley also loved riding the teacups with Reese because they went REALLY fast. All the pictures we took were blurry because they went so fast! I got sick just watching them!
Another favorite ride was the Dumbo ride! We were lucky that we only had to wait 20 minutes (when crowded, it can be a 2 hour wait)!!!
My family in front of Cinderella's Castle
Brinley's favorite princess is Cinderella! She was in complete aww when she met all the princesses! When they would ask her questions, she would be tongue tied! I equate it to what would happen if I met Brad Pitt. She was star struck! It was so cute to see her eyes shine whenever she got around one of the princesses!
Of course, it is all about the Mouse! We were fortunate to meet both Mickey and Minnie at the same time! Clayton really took a liking to Minnie and climbed right in her lap and gazed at her as she gave him kisses! Here is our big family shot!
Friday evening, we ate dinner at Cinderella's castle! While you ate dinner, all the princess walked around to visit, take pictures and sign autographs. The girls were given wands and the boys a sword (great a weapon for Clayton!) The food was yummy and it was nice to sit down for more than 10 minutes!!!!
After dinner, we took a bus to Downtown Disney. This an area that had restaurants, bars and lots of shopping! They had a HUGE Christmas store where we stocked up on ornaments and also the biggest princess store where we also did some damage! After picking up some deserts at Goofy's candy store, the kids got to play in the snow (shaved ice) while Christmas music was playing! It definitely got us into the Christmas spirit!

Once we got back to the room around 10pm, we discovered that Mickey and Minnie had visited our room and left us stuffed animals, hats with their names on them, autograph book, blanket, balloons and snowflakes! It was quite a surprise and Brinley was so happy that Mickey visited our room...(wink, wink)
Day one was fast and furious with lots of sights to see and walking done! Both kids held up much better than I thought they would. I even got Clayton to take an hour nap in his stroller. I think both of them were running on adrenaline! We fell asleep as soon as our heads hit the pillows! We had to get up early to start day 2!!!
