January...Part 2

Since we were gonna be in Orlando after the cruise anyways, we decided to stay a week more so we could go to Disney World with our friends the Clarks. It was a first for our family so we were excited how Magical our time would be. We were pretty tired and a little home sick by that point so it was harder to enjoy our time as much as we could have but we still tried to make the most of things. Here's the second half of our trip!
Finding Nemo ride!

They have the biggest aquarium at one of the parks! We got to see
dolphins, sea turtles, sting rays, lots of different fishes and even sharks!

Goofy was the first character that we met. we were so excited!


At one of the parks they have a "world area" Canada was one
of the countries featured there. They did a pretty good job!:)



At the France part. I was quite happy to find some food like back home.

This is a small simplified version of The Chateau Frontenac
in Quebec City. The real castle is 118 years old.


The poor guy doesnt usually take naps anymore when we re home
but he sure needed one once in a while on the trip!

I had Mickey Mouse on my shirt and Donald did not like that.
He wouldn't let me pose without hiding my shirt:)

Instead of having an "autographs book" we took a frame. All the characters signed it. 
Then we ll put Josan's favorite picture in the middle and frame it all...way better souvenir that way!:)

THE castle

Before The little Mermaid ride. Ariel's my favorite. So I was pretty excited!

Riding race cars!


We went to Chef Mickey's. It's where all the main characters come around
while you eat breakfast. It was pretty awesome.








Josan's very favorite ride was the one where you get to "help" Buzz lightyear
and shoot a bunch of stuff...we had to do this one 3 times :)

One of Josan's highlights: meeting Buzz!

One of MY highlights: meeting Ariel!

Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. He was the most look-alike one I thought.

 Second time on the Ariel ride

One of Adam's highlight: The Pirates of the Caribbeans ride

We watched that 'Dreams come true" show 3 times. We just loved it!


This was Josan's first roller coaster. It freaked him out a little.
But he still liked it enough to do it 3 times


We got to go on a little date Wednesday


Play area at the Animal Kingdom




We went on a Safari ride. It was super fun


Henna tattoo

We were lucky and saw the parade there too. We just love parades!


One more time on the Roller coaster

Peter Pan ride

We got to meet Woody!! He's a lot taller than I thought!



I volunteered Adam to be in a "Special effect" movie


He got just a little wet;)

Our dinner at the Beast's castle. It was one of my favorite meals in Disney World


Tinkerbell

THE castle again

The beast. He seemed grumpy a little. Acting out his character maybe?



I just love Rapunzel

And Adam loves Aurora:)

Josan's favorite princess. But he was too shy and embarrassed...
and then mad to come see them with us. So he just stayed  in the corner.


I don't know if we'll come back any time soon. We had a great time. But even Josan admitted that he liked the cruise more than Disney World. And it's cheaper too! So I think we might pick Disney land over Disney World next time. But it definitely was worth trying it! It sure was a magical place!
