Today was the big day...Magic Kingdom. The princesses. The rides. The parades. How exciting!! Since we stayed at one of the Disney's resorts, we were able to take advantage of the extra hours when the park is open just for Disney guests. So, bright and early, we head off to Magic Kingdom!
Amy was excited that she was finally going to be able to see some princesses - I'm sure she thought she was never going to see them, other than the display ones at Downtown Disney! Amy loved seeing the castle as we walked into Magic Kingdom. She was certain that she was going to live there! Amy's favorite ride for the entire time that we were at Disney World was the carousel. She wanted to ride it over and over and over again! She was very particular about the horse as well...it had to be the horse with flowers on it! :)
After riding the carousel one time, we got in line for Dumbo. However, as we got closer to Dumbo, Amy began having second thoughts. She saw some spinning things on it that "spooked" her, as she put it. She decided that she would give it a try, but wanted to sit on my lap. I'm not sure if she truly enjoyed the ride. She was glad when it was over and didn't want to go on it again...though there were a few times when she said that she wanted to ride Dumbo, but would quickly change her mind when we would head in that direction!
We saw so many different characters throughout the day. It seemed that every time we turned around, we would find a new one. We saw Cinderella's Fairy Grandmother. I'm not exactly sure what Amy was telling her here...
But, she smiled when she was told to point to Mommy & Daddy! :)
Other than the princesses, which were Amy's absolute favorite part of the vacation, Amy really enjoyed going through Minnie & Mickey's houses. She loved that Mickey's kitchen was a mess from his attempt at remodeling it! She still mentions how messy Mickey's kitchen was and talks about how silly Mickey is! She enjoyed having "tea" at Minnie's house...
Amy was very patient with any lines that we encountered while waiting to visit with the different characters. She would watch closely as the little kids in front of us would visit with the characters. When we met Mickey and Minnie, she was delighted that Minnie danced with her while Mickey signed her autograph book!
And then there were the princesses....she had a lot of tell all of them, though I'm not exactly sure what all it was! She had her princess dress on as well as her Sleeping Beauty necklace, which was a hot topic of conversation, especially when she met Sleeping Beauty.
I can only imagine the conversation that they are having below...
Showing Sleeping Beauty her necklace...with Sleeping Beauty on it!
We watched one of the shows that they performed - Amy loved to watch the princesses dance around the stage!
She was telling Ariel about the spider webs that she had seen - 
We also visited with the fairies. To be honest, I'm not that familiar with the fairies...other than Tinkerbell. But, Amy enjoyed meeting them and talking with them.
We watched several parades, though I didn't get pictures of one parade (I'm not exactly sure how that happened!). The other parade was a nighttime parade, right before the park closed. It had been a long day, though Amy was a trooper. She did really well waiting for the parade to start (it didn't start on time) and afterwards on our way back to the room. Amy waved to all of the characters and were delighted when a few stopped by to say "Hi" to her!
All in all, it was a wonderful vacation. I simply loved seeing the expression on Amy's face when she saw all of the different characters and princesses. I loved hearing her talk about the princesses and all of her thoughts about Disney World. I'll admit that I had some hesitations with taking Amy to Disney World at such a young age. But, I'll admit it - Kurt was right. Amy had a great time and it was a wonderful family vacation! We can't wait to go back!!
