Magic Kingdom & Animal Kingdom

These pics are all jumbled up. We have wrapped up our time at the parks. It was awesome! We had a park hopper pass which was great because it allowed us to do half days at different parks since little girls can't handle long days. Plus Epcot, Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios we didn't need a full day for all the kid stuff. All in all I would say we had the perfect amount of time here. We were able to see most everything we wanted to and had a great time- save for some whining that in turn led to a grumpy mommy.

This is from Today- we rented a double stroller. E did really well the first day walking for 6 hours but as the days progressed I found myself carrying her a lot or her riding in the stroller and carrying Berkley. Chris's bad back sure is hard on mine!!

Funny stroller story from Animal Kingdom yesterday. Usually you just park the stroller in a stroller parking lot outside the rides. At AK they let you take them through the line and had an attendant take it at the end. Berkley LOST her mind. I guess she thought we gave her stroller away- she cried about it for at least 5 minutes and was very concerned about the whereabouts of her stroller. In the next line when they took it Chris told her they were just going to watch her stroller. She happily sent it off.
The girls outside of Mickey's house. Unfortunately we were never able to meet Mickey and Minnie- we almost got in line for Minnie once but they were closing it. Today E didn't want to wait in any of the character lines. Fine with me- they are a bit of a beat down. Even short lines take a loooong time. Its nice because the characters fool around with the kids and sign autographs and all that but it makes the line go really slow. Berkley really wanted to wait in the line for the wicked stepsisters. She was a little nervous about them though. It was cute

We can see fireworks from our balcony every night at 9. The girls expect it before bedtime every night now. Its so nice!
Berk going down a slide. This was a big dinosaur park E was busy climbing all around. B spent at least 20 minutes going down this slide over and over. Toward the end she decided to start throwing her arms up like she was on a roller coaster
On the way to the Bugs Life 3D movie. E did NOT like it. They tried to exterminate us like bugs and attacked us. Berkley thought it was great
B at dinner. Chris took a grape from her plate so she proceeded to stuff the last 4-5 in her mouth at once.
A safari ride at Animal Kingdom
This was at Hollywood Studios. B loves 3D movies now. I forgot how at Disney they also do lots of special effects (such as mice running by your feet or termites going under your bench- GROSS!) She likes to reach out for the stuff- our favorite was the Mickey one at Magic Kingdom,
E loved driving the race car. She could barely reach the pedal so I did it for her most of the time- I love this pic of her cute leg!
She took her driving very seriously!
Wow! I picture of me- just to prove I was there!

I had visions of all these great pictures I would get. E and B were not very willing to model for me in front of the castleThe castle looked so pretty lit up at night. I really enjoyed the night we spent at MK it was a lot less crowded than during the day and so pretty with all the lights
Berkley was an animal driving the race car. It is on a track so there isn't a ton of steering to be done but she enjoyed swerving back and forth like a crazy person
We had a blast in the teacups with Megan and Madilyn.
