Oh yeah, we love the cabins! Heath was begging for the key to get in when we first checked in. We were really lucky and were able to get into the cabin early in the day, so we had time to unload, grocery shop, and rest before getting ready to meet the princesses.
Who needs an amusement park when there are bunk beds? Heath and Carrie alternated nights on the coveted top bunk.
EPCOT!!!!!
We are the geeky family who loves Epcot most of all. We usually start there for a relaxing ease-in to the vacation, and this was no exception.
"Do you like my hat?"
"I do not like your hat."
"Goodbye, then."
"Goodbye."
(Apologies to Dr. Seuss)
Does the puppet you pick say something about your personality?
The first of many pictures of the back of Quin's head. Oh, she LOVES the princesses. And Carrie is finally over her fear of costumed beings. The professional shot of our meet and greet with Belle is much nicer than mine.
Not yet brave enough to get up and try the cold buffet. The Norwegian-style food was pretty good, actually. Not that the girls took the time to eat any.
Note Adam's arm on Quin's shoulder and how she is looking attentively at something just past him. Literally seconds later she eluded his grasp, was out of the high chair like a shot, and ran around the wall to smash hug Cinderella. In the middle of another girl's picture with her, no less. Fortuneately, they forgive this when you are only two, as I found out when I dragged her away apologizing. The other family was very gracious, and Cinderella took a minute to explain to Quin that she would be over to see her very soon.
Evidently if you want to be Jasmine, you spend a lot of time in the gym working your abs.
When you are the real Sleeping Beauty you don't have to wear a shirt underneath your dress because it itches too much. Poor Carrie was suffering before we pulled out the long-sleeved tee shirt.
And yes, Quin is pushing her face up against Aurora's - this was her way of giving a kiss when she was very small.
Quin was beyond happy for this entire event.
And this was worth the entire trip. Cinderella even made it personal - as soon as she saw Quin she told her she was happy to see her again and that she was coming back to see her as she had promised. I think the girls' body language in this shot says even more than the looks they had on their faces.
Before the fireworks, we do make it to the candlelight procession. A narrator tells the Christmas story with accompanying hymns and carols. There is a huge choir and a full orchestra. It was quite beautiful.
