Even More Disney

Above we are outside of Cinderella's Castle (or as Tori would say, "My Castle") at the Magic Kingdom in Disney World. Tori loved all of the rides at this park (and we took her on most of them). Below is a picture of Tori and Daddy riding the carousel - I tried to convince her that we have a carousel at the mall at home and there were lots of other fun rides to go on, but she said, "This is Cinderella's carousel" and she wanted to ride on it with her prince (while at Disney World her prince was either Dad or Grandpa depending on the day).

She was a trooper and loved everything we took her on. She even loved Thunder Mountain (below) which was a pretty intense roller coaster for someone her age. I was not allowed to ride since I'm expecting, so I was able to get the fun picture. If you can't tell - Grandma and Grandpa are in the very last row and John and Tori are in the one right in front of them.

Another ride that Tori loved at the Magic Kingdom was the "teacups". At home during the weeks before we took Tori to Disney World we were trying to explain to her what Disney World was. So we told her there would be lots of fun rides and John told her that he would take her on a fun ride with teacups. So all she talked about before our trip was getting to ride in teacups and pots. She loved spinning the cups around during the ride, though she was a little disappointed that she didn't get to ride in the actual teapot.

As you can see above, after we let her wear her princess dress the first day for the princess lunch, she insisted on wearing it during at least part of every other day we were at the parks. I don't blame her since when she had it on all the workers at Disney would greet her by saying, "Hello Princess". She also loved the Minnie ears Grandma and Grandpa bought for her.

The rest of the pictures are of Tori with more Disney characters. I can't stress enough how much she loved hugging and getting her picture taken with them. She still talks about meeting them quite often.

We don't even know who these bears are in the picture below, but they were characters, so Tori had to hug and get a picture with them. As you can tell from the big smiles it sure was an easy way to make her happy.
