What Dreams are Made of!!

I decided to cram the last 2 days of Disney into one post because this weekend is the first on my many parties/showers/wedding that I have during the month of May and I am sure I will be filling up my upcoming post with the details of everything!!!

These pictures below are from inside of the Toy Story Mania ride. Because of Logan's sprinting skills, we never had to wait more that 15 minutes for a ride, but because of the popularity of this ride we did have to wait about an hour and a half in line!!! Most of y'all will think that is an awful amount of time to wait for a 8 minute ride, but believe me it is well worth it!!! So what better way to pass the time that take pictures with Mr. Potato Head!!!

Later that night, we had dinner at Sanaa, an African and Indian inspired restaurant. I was a little nervous to eat there, but it was delicious!!! and... there are wild animals living in the courtyard!!! We saw giraffes, zebras, and ostriches while we were waiting to eat, it was so cool!!!

Miss Avery and Logan decided to have a late night date back to Magic Kingdom where she met Terrance and Tinker bell!!!

Here are a few pictures from our last day :(

I am pretty sure I have about 50 pictures of the castle!!! I just loved it!! I really wish I could live there!!

Everyone with their Mickey ears!!

and finally we found Tiana!!! She was the last princess we needed and we found her just as we were getting ready to leave!!! I do not have the pictures of Pocahontas, but I will try to get one a post!!

But it is official, we have the autographs of all of the princesses!!!

My next goal is to get all of the Princes!!!

Enjoy!!!

Round 2 of EPCOT and Magic Kingdom!!!

This was our 3rd day at Disney and we went back to my 2 favorite parks, Epcot and Magic Kingdom!!

Maddie finally arrived!!!

The only autograph we needed from the "main" characters was Daisy. Our plan was to have her autograph by the end of the day!! When we got to Epcot, it was like she knew we were looking for her because she was signing autographs at the front of the park!!

after the Nemo ride and Turtle Talk with Crush!!

The week we visited it was the Spring garden festival at Epcot. They had made many of the characters out of bushes and flowers, they were amazing!!!

We met Jasmine, Aladdin, Belle (again!!!) and Mulan!! At this point in the trip, the only princesses we needed was Rapunzel, Pocahontas, and Tiana!!

After Epcot, it was time to go back to Magic Kingdom for Avery's special surprise!!! The only hint we would give her was that she needed to wear her new Belle dress!!

Her surprise was a princess make-over at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique!!! She was so super excited, and I was so super jealous!!! I really wish that there was not an age limit on who could get made-over!!!
