Day 1 of the Fun - Magic Kingdom

After a long travel day the day before, we made it to Magic Kingdom the next morning. We let Kinley pick what rides she wanted to do and characters she wanted to see. She was not interested in many rides and the only one we talked her into was Pirates of the Caribbean. 

The Fairy Godmother

Riding on the Jungle Cruise

Kinley loved trying to get close to the squirrels

The Enchanted Tales with Belle were another of Kinley's favorite
She got to be Chip and she thought that was amazing


Meeting Ariel with her fin! 

The boys took the girls on It's a Small World (which Kinley said is not as good as Disneylands) while Amy and I went on the Haunted Mansion

The Castle at Night


Kinley loved her Mickey ice cream cones

The boys went on Space Mountain and the girls went to the Incredible Dance party, Kinley had a fabulous time

We finished the night on the teacups

Day 2 - Epcot

Day 2 was Epcot. I didn't really know what to expect from Epcot, but I ended up loving it. It was a day where we met a lot of characters but still had a great time. 

We started off the day with the princess character breakfast. It was great! The princesses were all so nice and Kinley loved talking to all of them! 

Belle greeted us when we came in

Eating some delicious donut holes

Cinderella

Ariel

Alice in Wonderland

Jasmine

Outside of where we had breakfast in Norway

WE made sure to meet Mickey and some of his friends while we were there

Kinley could not stop laughing at Goofy

Kinley loved having a Minnie shirt on when she met her

We met Mulan in China - Kinley loves Mulan and so this was a big hit

It rained for part of the afternoon so we put on our ponchos


While in Japan, Kinley and I picked a pearl. 
Kinley picked the biggest pearl of the day!


I loved walking around to all of the countries
 France had the BEST patisseries. 
Before we left for the day, I hurry and ran back and got another one

We finished the day by watching Captain EO - it was the weirdest thing that I have ever seen!

Day 3 - Disney Hollywood Studios

Day 3 was spent at Hollywood Studios. We didn't feel like there was a ton to do but still had some fun things that we didn't want to miss

The Chinese Theater - The Great Movie ride was here and we all really liked it

Beauty and the Beast on Stage was amazing. Highly recommend taking the time to do it 

The best ride of the day was Toy Story Mania


The Car Stunt Show



Waiting for Fantasmic to start. We had never seen it at Disneyland so we wanted to make sure to watch it. Great show and a fun way to end the night. Except it got a little cold

Day 4 - Magic Kingdom

For our second day at Magic Kingdom, we made sure to get there before the park opened so that we could see the Welcome Show. It was super cute and was a great way to see a lot of characters. 


Since we were there so early, we decided to head to the Anna and Elsa line right away. The boys went to the 7 Dwarves Mine. It was worth the 45 minute wait. Kinley was star struck and could barely talk to them. 


The Festival of Fantasy Parade was great! We all really enjoyed it

Kinley on her favorite ride - the teacups. She just wanted to ride it over and over. She didn't even want to to near Dumbo this time


At the Shake It and Dance It parade. Kinley had fun dancing with Chip (or is it Dale)

Tinkerbell - she is always a must to meet

Kinley was super excited about this pickle! She ate the whole thing


Day 5 - Animal Kingdom

Our last day at Disney World was spent at Animal Kingdom. I think it was a good choice, because we ended up staying until 3 and that was plenty of time to see everything that we wanted. It was a rainy day, so we tried to fit in some shows and see as much as we could. 


We started off the day with the safari. It was really cool to see all of the animals


The adults took turns riding the Everest Roller Coaster. Dusty and I went first, and then Trenton and Amy went. It was a great roller coaster! (the mountain in the back is the roller coaster)



One of Kinley's favorite highlights from the whole trip was meeting Daisy Duck, so I was glad that she was at Animal Kingdom and we could meet her. 


Kinley loved all of the dance parties as the parks. Here she is doing the robot with Thumper
