Disney Day 2: Magic Kingdom

On day 2 we went back to Magic Kingdom for a full day at the park. We started off with Disney's Philharmagic which proved that the magic at Disney's World truly is in the shows and performers. We loved the show and decided to catch as many shows as possible during our trip.

Next, we had breakfast at Cinderella's castle where we got to first meet Cinderella and then have Aurora, Snow White, Ariel, and Jasmine stop by our table. This was a pretty slick way to meet all of the princesses without having to stand in line. 

We were able to catch a welcome ceremony for Princess Elena. She is the newest princess so they were welcoming her to Magic Kingdom. 

The crowds were low at the park so we enjoyed the short lines. We were able to race each other at Tomorrowland Speedway.

 

The parade was so fun. Lots of great floats and characters. We were standing directly in the sun so our pictures did not turn out so well.

Meeting Princess Tiana:

 And Rapunzel

We didn't have enough energy to last until fireworks but the girls did want to sneak one last character meeting in for the night so we saw Tinkerbell before heading back to the bus. 

Disney Day 1: Magic Kingdom

We arrived at Disney around 2 p.m. and were able to check into our room and head out to the park by 3:00. It was really exciting to see Cinderella's castle and see the expression on the girls' faces. 

 

Our first ride was Aladdin's Magic Carpets

While we were riding on the Magic Carpets we noticed that Aladdin and Jasmine were right next door! So, we waited in line for our first princess meet and greet of the trip!

The girls and I took a spin on the teacups.

Couldn't miss the Dumbo ride!

By the end of the night we were all exhausted and the girls nearly fell asleep on the train. 

We got to meet Princess Elena of Avalor....the girls were very excited about this. They have been loving her new show on Disney TV. They also got to meet Cinderella. 

We had just enough energy left to stick around for the amazing fireworks show. The castle had just been decorated for Christmas/Winter so the light effects were amazing. 

Halloween

The girls kicked off Halloween by wearing their costumes to dance.

Charlie's dance class.

They had a costume parade at school on Halloween.

Just before trick or treat.

Astrid the Viking, Shimmer the Genie, and a cute little elephant

Our friends Austin and Addie joined us for trick or treating in our neighborhood.

Scary genie! 

Mom and Dad even got in on the costume action! 

Oh no! Another Wayne and Garth showed up at the party!

Evy Turns 8!

The celebration kicked off in early October when we got together with Scott's side of the family. 

Immediately after the party Evy spent her Build-A-Bear gift cards.

Officially 8 years old!

Evy got to have two friends spend the night on her birthday.

Slumber party donut run!

Then, she got to have all of the rest of her friends join her for an ice skating party!
