The Happiest Place on Earth

After almost 3 years of living an hour away from Disneyworld, we finally went! Matt had never been before and it had been a long time for me. We had a fantastic time. We had been hyping Mickey Mouse up to Sydney for a few weeks to get her ready. I think we maybe hyped it up too much. Whenever she saw Mickey Mouse, whether it be on someone's hat or on a bag, she would go nuts. We went to Epcot, Magic Kingdom, and Animal Kingdom. One park for one day. Her favorite ride was Finding Nemo. Matt's favorite ride was the safari ride at Animal Kingdom. It, surprising, wasn't all that crowded too. Her souvenir was an 18" Minnie Mouse stuffed toy. She loves it and takes it in the car when we go places.
In the other big news department, we pretty much have sold our home! We are currently under contract. It sold in just 3 weeks! What an answer to prayer!
Okay, back to our trip. If you like pictures, this is the post for you! : )
The Epcot Ball.
And of course Cinderella's Castle.
The obligatory picture in front of Cinderella's Castle.
Our first meeting with Mickey. Yes, we did see him twice. The line was so short the second time we couldn't pass it up. She would kiss all of the characters she met. It was so cute. And a high five for Goofy.
Nah, not that Goofy! : )
How Sydney rode through the parks.

Dancing with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy.





Animal Kingdom




How Matt and I spent our time - Matt video taping, me taking pictures!

And my favorite picture..."1 shake, 2 straws please!"

And our final picture with Mickey.

I love the milk shake picture. The one where Matt's eye is Syd's "handle" is pretty funny too. Looks fun! ~jen~
