Disney World

We took Emma on a cheep quick trip to Disney world. Georgia stayed with my mom, thank you mama. We drove to Orlando on Tuesday and went to Downtown Disney that night. We ate at Rainforest Cafe. Emma loved finding all of the animals, but she wasn't sure about the rain storms.
Daddy and EmmaMommy & Steve (our friend who got us free Disney tickets, thank you Steve!)
After dinner we looked at a few stores. It was raining. Emma's favorite was the Disney stores.
Wednesday we went to Magic Kingdom. It took forever to get there from our hotel that was 2 miles away!
Emma was so excited to see the Princesses. She really wanted to go inside Cinderella's castle. Now when she looks at our pictures from the trip she says, "You can't go up in the castle, you can only go under it."
Our first ride was Dumbo. Emma hated waiting in line, but she loved the ride.
Emma loved meeting the characters. I have to say they were really wonderful. They took their time talking to each kid, signing thier autograph books, helping them smile for a pretty picture, and giving them a hug when they left. It was great. Emma's favorite princesses are Ariel & Belle.
Next, we rode the Tea Cups. Daddy was spinning us as fast as he could and Emma wanted to go faster. Both Daddy and I thought we were going to throw up. She loved this ride and would have stayed here all day!
When we left the ride, we saw Alice. It was great that Emma dressed like a princess because everyone treated her like a princess. They bowed when she met them and they called her princess.
Emma & Alice
Emma has been on carousels before, but Daddy showed her how to hold her arm in the air. Thanks dad!
Emma liked Its A Small World. She pointed to all of the pretty girl dolls and said, "That's Emma."
She thought Winnie the Pooh was scary, but she liked the surprise party at the end and wanted to stay for a piece of cake!
It really sucks that you can't take your stroller in line at Disney. I understand that it keeps the lines more compact, but this was the only line Emma didn't complain in. I wonder why. She is such a picky eater these days. She only ate the snacks I brought, she wouldn't eat anything we bought her there, except cotton candy and that doesn't really count as food.
Pooh showing respect for the Princess.
Big hugs and smiles with Pooh and Tigger.
Emma and Princess Arora, the line for meeting the pricesses was 30 min. It was definitely worth it.

We were shocked when Emma's favorite ride was Goofy's crazy roller coaster especially since she looks terrified in all of the pictures I took during the ride. Her favorite rides were this roller coaster and the tea cups.
Daddy, Minnie, Emma, Mickey and Mommy
Emma followed this bird around for a while. When she climbed up on the flower bed in the picture a Disney employee asked her to get down...
she started crying and ran back to us. It was nap time and she was probably hungry!
We decided to regroup with some quality time with milk and baby
She looks to little in this picture.
Next we rode on Buzz Lightyear. She really like shooting the gun.
Emma with Stich, even though she didn't know who this character is she was thrilled to meet him.
Beautiful
See ya~
Next we waited in the Fairy line for 75 min~ I have to say it was worth it too becuase Emma loved it. Emma with Rosetta
Emma with Tinkerbell. Dan thinks she was the only attractive character we met. I didn't notice at the time, but looking at the pictures I have agree. Where did they find these people?
Emma with Iredessa
She was so nice
After meeting the fairies, so happy
They have you "fly" into Pixie Hallow to meet the fairies so Emma flew out. Dan had to run down the hall to catch a picture of her flying away.
We played with toys in the gift shop. Emma was so funny she lined up these ponies and lectured them. She wouldn't let anyone come near them~
It was raining when we left so we didn't take any more pictures, but we did a lot of other rides. Shockingly we stayed through the fire works. They were the best fireworks I have ever seen. Emma watched them with her ears covers and between each set she would ask, "Is is over?"
We had a great day. We drove home Thursday. We will probably wait until Georgia is old enough before we go again.
