Epcot

Dear Grace,

Epcot was a convenient 10 minute walk from our hotel. Walking around The World Showcase was a mini flashback of our time spent abroad as a family. Enjoy!

Love, Mommy

Dinner at the Coral Reef. 

After checking out the Finding Nemo exhibit, we stopped for a photo opp. 

You have the sign for 'fish' down after checking out all the tanks at 'The Sea.' 

Knock. Knock. Who's there? UNCLE MATT! 

Hanging out in the UK like old times.

Hollywood Studios

Dear Grace,
Our day at Hollywood Studios was filled with show after show. No characters. We only had time for the movies. Enjoy!
Love, Mommy


You now have a personalized Mickey Mouse hat like your Dad and Uncle Matt had when they were little.

Grammie, Grandpa, Uncle Matt- I'm ready to go! 

The mini musical of Beauty and the Beast kept your attention and your hand waving for a half an hour.

You watch the parades in awe.

Magic Kingdom

Dear Grace,
Our day at Magic Kingdom was as magical as we expected. Enjoy!
Love, Mommy

Costume change during 'It's a Small World.' It was too hot to stay in your Cinderella outfit. 

Watching your best friend, Minnie, and all the Disney princesses in front of Cinderella's Castle. 

Uncle Matt trying to pull out the Sword in the Stone to become King. 

Characters at Magic Kingdom

Dear Grace,
Magic Kingdom was filled with so many characters and either very short or nonexistent lines. Enjoy!
Love, Mommy 

Talk about being in the right place at the right time. We turned the corner to find Mary Poppins starting her photo shoot shift. 

We were able to get a fast past to see 3 Disney princesses and Mickey & Minnie. We literally waited 5 minutes to see all of them!

Cinderella told us she didn't want to give you back. 

Belle took the time to compare the flowers on both of your dresses.

But, by the time we met Aurora, you no longer wanted to take a picture alone. As we were leaving her you were blowing her kisses and waving goodbye. 

You literally had to be held back to avoid cutting the line to see Minnie. 

Giving Minnie a kiss on her nose. 

Group photo opp. 

Dinner at Cinderella's Castle is the perfect Disney experience for little girls. The castle itself is impressive. You walk in and are greeted by Cinderella herself. You're given a picture package included with your meal. 

You then walk up a spiral staircase to the dining hall where ladies are handed a wand and knights are handed a sword. 

You then have the pleasure of meeting 4 of Cinderella's princess friends. 

Snow White

Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. Daddy still isn't sure who she is.

Mommy's personal favorite, Ariel, from The Little Mermaid.

Belle from Beauty and the Beast.

Safari

Dear Grace,
One of the coolest things I think we've done since we've arrived in Disney World is the Kilimanjaro Safari Ride. We rode around in jeeps and were able to get real close to so many different animals. You fell asleep while we were in line and woke up as we were getting off. You must have been really tired because it was a pretty bumpy ride. Don't worry. Daddy took many pictures. Enjoy!
Love, Mommy

It ended with one of your personal favorites. The Lion.
