Monk's Love Mickey: Day 6

September 18th: FULL Magic Kingdom day and Crystal Palace

On our final day in Disney, we decided to GO BIG!! We decided to stay ALL DAY LONG! We had never done this before. We had always been there when the park opened, and then left close to nap time(ie 2pm). We knew Blakely could push through, and we hoped KE would nap in the stroller. Because Disney is, well, MAGICAL... that is exactly what happened!! :)

On our way on the Monorail! The monorail ride is as much an attraction as Dumbo to Blakely.

LOVE LOVE LOVE when Magic Kingdom is decorated for fall!!


Winnie the Pooh's house!!


Waiting in line is way too much fun on Winnie the Pooh!!

Alice in Wonderland!!

But who they REALLY waited in line to see... THE WHITE RABBIT!!

 
One more turn on the Tea Cups!

Enchanted Tales with Belle! Richard was a Suit of Armor.

Blakely was the Armoire!!


We got to meet Belle!!!

Rock on!!! Ready to burn rubber on the Tommorowland Speedway!!



Little girl got to drive!! She was so excited to be behind the wheel!!

Blakely: "Did you see? I got points too!!"

Embarrassed by my intensity in this picture! Bahahaha! But if you look right you can see a yellow bow... that's KE!

Monster's Inc. Laugh Factory!!

Next, Pixie Hollow to meet Tinker Bell!! Pixie Dust!!!


Blakely loved meeting Tinker Bell!!


KE was a little distracted by all the giant stuff to look at!!
 
Disney World prizes are the best prizes!! Blakely picked out "Baby Ara-girl!!"

KE loving on her baby Winnie the Pooh at the Crystal Palace...waiting to meet the real deal!

We had lunch at the Crystal Palace to celebrate the end of our magical Disney vacation!!

Love this pic of KE snuggling up with Eeyore.

She is just the sweetest!!

Sweet success!! Down for the count after lunch!!


DO NOT get a Fast Pass for Dumbo!! The Big Top circus is NOT to be missed!! The girls played for an hour in here!! It was so much fun for both ages!

Finished our magical day out on a high note!! Rode Blakely's favorite, the Magic Carpets 2 more times, and then it was time to go home!!! Thank you Disney for another MAGICAL vacation!! Can't wait for our next adventure!!!
 


Monk's Love Mickey: Day 5

September 17th: Animal Kingdom and an Evening Dip

So we had managed to escape the rain EVERY DAY until Thursday at Animal Kingdom...and then it only lightly rained ALL DAY. But of all the parks for it to rain in, Animal Kingdom is fun in the rain! With little bits, we mainly do indoor shows anyways so it wasn't that big of deal. Blakely was actually super excited, because she was BEGGING for an opportunity to wear her Minnie Mouse Poncho. She got her wish!

Blakely thought the "living tree" was so cool! I was creeped out by her, but this brave girl begged for a picture with her.

They look thrilled to be in Animal Kingdom, right?


First stop... DINO LAND!!! Really wish we could have brought our Bankster here!!

It was early still, so there were hardly any people back at Triceratops Spin... so they let us ride it 3x in a row!

Richard and KE's face after going around and around and around 3x!!

First show: Festival of the Lion King!! KE LOVED this show!!! She stood up and danced almost the entire show. She loves to dance!

Blakely's favorite part of the show was the Dancing Birds! She thoughts they were "So, so, so beautiful!"

Blakely's bird!

A little snuggle before Finding Nemo: The Musical.
 
"...in the big blue world."
 

Cinnamon Toasted Pecans... found these between Asia and Africa. SO GOOD!

Katy Ellis was really into the Safari. She wanted to make sure we all saw every single animal!!



FINALLY!! IT'S PONCHO TIME!!!

Look at her happy little face! So glad the weather could comply and let her wear her poncho! Heehee. Silly girl.

Rain was gone but that night so we headed to the pool for a family dip!

My people!!


This girl was SO, SO, SO happy all week long! She loves vacations and Disney World as much as her mama!!

A great end to a great day!
