Disney World - Magic Kingdom!

 Welcome to Walt Disney World!! I have been stressing about how I was going to post all these amazing pictures and experiences.  Time is flying so I decided not to stress and just post some of our favorite things.  Brett and I were so excited to just be here as a family.  This was something we had always dreamed of doing. So we were just so happy to make it happen.  We also knew we would need some extra hands, so we were super excited that Brett's Mom met us in Florida and helped us SO much.  We really are so thankful to have her there.  I was really worried about Jacob and Giselle and they did incredible.

 The chipmunks were the first characters they got to meet.  ALL the kids were excited to meet them.

 I loved space mountain as a kid and now my kids love it too.  Genevieve has always been nervous of roller coasters so I was happy she was willing to try it.  Turns out she LOVED it and went on it more than once!
 Jacob was able to ride lots of rides but one of his favorite was driving the race car...all by himself ( even if daddy controlled the gas).
 Grandma Fox was very excited about the tea cups. All the kids but Giselle went with her and she spun it really fast. They loved it and I loved that I didn't have to be in the super fast one!
 Before we came to Disney Jolie said she didn't care about the princesses and characters. That all went out the window when she saw Snow White.  She has always loved Snow White and HAD to meet her.  The girls were in heaven and Jolie said she was really nice and funny!
 We knew it would be warm still in October but we had no idea it would be SO HOTT!!  We were very happy to take a snack break and get the famous Dole Whipped pineapple floats. I can see what all the hype is about..it is divine.
 That night we came back to the Magic Kingdom and went to there not so spooky Halloween party.  We were super excited and dressed up in costumes and Halloween shirts and then it POURED and poured and poured.  They cancelled the first show and than postponed the parade.  It was so frustrating.
 Finally after over an hour of sitting in the pouring rain. ( I of course brought rain ponchos from home..but left them in the hotel..of course!!!)  The parade began.  The kids were so excited. Giselle had the best seat there..mommy or daddy's shoulders.
 The grave diggers were phenomenal...they came right up to us and were great.  The kids even got candy given to them during the parade. It was a lot of fun seeing all of their favorite characters walk and dance and sing right next to them.
After the parade we walked around to do a few rides and ran into Sleeping Beauty.  Jacob refused to meet her. :)  All the girls were so excited to meet her. Giselle wouldn't stop looking at her.  Before that was a firework show that was so good.  It was a really fun night even if it wasn't exactly how I planned it!
