In November we took a trip to Disney World with our good friends, Shannon and Billy Gould, and Grandma and Grandpa Disney (Billy's parents). For most it was a return trip, but for Rachel and the 4 kids it was a first - and Rachel may have been the most excited! Teacups, Mickey, Princesses - the trip was...well, yes, MAGICAL!
Hugs from Pluto
Dancing with Donald Duck
Benjamin was a little cautious around the live characters the first few days. The stuffed ones were more his style.
Buzz Lightyear - and Udstuen boy favorite!
Benjamin showed us how to walk like a pigeon.
"Fish are friends, not food!" Fortunately that goes for kids too!
Autographs from Pluto and Goofy
TERK - from Tarzan (a current Disney favorite)!
This was the closest Ben would let us get to any characters the first day - his blanket is covering his death grip on me!
Race car driving...they have no idea that this game requires quarters!
Ben wearing Peyton's hat!
Face Painting at Animal Kingdom

Breakfast with the Princesses: Thanks to Grandma Disney - who knows that you need to call 6 months in advance - we got tickets to breakfast with the princesses in THE castle at Disney World.
Jonah was lukewarm about the idea at first...after all "Boys don't really like princesses" (if he only knew!), so he kept a safe distance as we were greeted by Cinderella. As they circled about during our meal he was more than willing to let them sign Ben's autograph book, just not his. But then it turned out that one did have his heart. He refused to be photographed with
Cinderella...
Cinderella...
Snow White...
Belle...
Jasmine...
But then along came Princess Aurora (for the rest of you moms with boys - that Sleeping Beauty!) Something about her appealed to Jonah: she got to sign HIS autograph book, see his sword, AND take a picture with him!
Oh, and he'll take pictures with Knights in shining armor too!

We still have 5 days left on our passes for a future trip...I'm ready to go next year!
