The Magic Kingdom



Here we are riding the ferry to Magic Kingdom.  Tori and James thought this was a pretty cool "ride" to start the day.
We spent a day and a half at the Magic Kingdom and had a ton of fun.  We were really glad we rode the Tea Cups a couple times on our first day, because they were closed for renovations the next day for a few months.  I was surprised at how much Ellie loved riding them.  Tori and John rode in the "fast" teacup and James, Ellie and I didn't spin ours quite so fast (mainly for my pregnant belly's sake).
Ellie also saw the giant carousel and begged to ride on it.  We thought it was pretty cool since it was 5 horses wide, so our whole family rode on a horse on the same row (John is riding a horse above - he's just taking the picture).
Another favorite was the Dumbo ride.  James loved controlling the height and riding with Dad.
We all, also loved driving the cars around the track.  Tori was quite a good driver!
Above Tori is dressed as Rapunzel posing in front of Rapunzel's tower.  Below is a picture of Tori in front of where people were meeting Tiana (we didn't have time to wait in the really long line and opted to go on another fun ride instead).
Tori was a trooper and went on both Splash Mountain and Space Mountain with John.  She really liked Splash mountain and went on it a couple times.  She said Space Mountain made her stomach feel funny.
Our cute little outlaws.
The first two days that we did Disney we just brought one stroller and James walked and had a lot of piggy-back rides.  Then we got smart and brought our second stroller (above Ellie and James are sound asleep while Tori gets to ride Space Mountain with John and I get to rest).  It seems like I only go to Disney world when I'm pregnant.  Tori keeps saying she wants me to have another baby so we can go back to Disney World.
It was really cute to see how much James and Ellie especially loved It's a Small World.  Half the time they were just mesmerized the other half they were dancing to the music.
It was unusually hot while were we there, so the kids really enjoyed running through the water and getting some relief from the heat.
The very last ride of the day was this rocket ride that went way up in the air that James really wanted to do.  John stayed with Ellie and took of video of her dancing and enjoying the music they were playing at the park.  Our Disney trip was a ton of fun and I think we all really loved it and have some great memories, but I've never been on a more exhausting vacation. :)
