Vacation 2013 Day 5 {Epcot and Akershus}

12.1.13~ This was one of my favorite days- as evidenced by the overload of photos! We spent the day at Epcot and had breakfast with the princesses at Akershus restaurant in Norway.

Perhaps a stubborn little girl didn't want to get in the picture...

Walked right on the ride again. Love my hubby's planning and visiting this time of year! You can see we were on the ride all by ourselves!

At Club Cool, the girls tested different popular Coca~Cola products from around the world.

It appears she liked it! ;)

Pointing to their favorites. Brynna's was a melon flavored Fanta from Thailand and Braylee's was Inca Kola from Peru. All of the girls had belly aches from the carbonation as they aren't use to it!

The line was quite long to meet Elsa & Anna from Frozen so we didn't meet them.

Ready for our breakfast with the princesses!

Right after she saw Cinderella walk by. She said, "Oh she's so beauuutiful!"

Who can eat when Cinderella is wandering around the room!?  She kept saying, "Hey mom, look behind you! Look!" She was in heaven!

Learning new princess poses

A bit star struck and unsure what to do now!

She loves Mulan too! She has most of the movie memorized.

Asking Mulan about her shoes

Princess Parade

The food was amazing!!

Braylee loved getting to meet our waitress who was from Oslo, Norway.

On a mission in Mexico

They had fun with the Agent P missions!

We loved the chocolate we bought in Germany. Yum!

Oh these girls. They love each other so much!

In Japan, the big girls did "Pick a Pearl." They chose oysters out of the tub and waited to see what treasures they held!

Brynna seeing her pearl for the first time.

And Braylee's! Thankfully the pearls were about the same size. :)

The Candlelight Processional was amazing.

In Italy! :) We are laughing at Brynna's pose while trying to take the photo.

This is blurry but the park was so pretty as we were finishing up our day.

Vacation 2013 Day 4 {Animal Kingdom}

11.30.13~ We had a fantastic day at Animal Kingdom. Alex is such a good tour guide. :) He researches which rides/shows to do in which order so that we spend as little time waiting as possible. His planning pays off and makes for less stressful days! We were so excited to see "0 minutes" wait times on several rides! We loved visiting this time of year!

No wait for the Safari. The girls loved it!

We had to ride this one again because they loved it so much!

Lack of naps was catching up with our little girl and she sacked out early!

Vacation 2013 Day 3 {Hollywood Studios}

11.29.13~ The next morning, we went to Hollywood Studios. This isn't our favorite park but it's a must-do when you have toddlers because it has the Disney Jr. characters and show. It also has the Beauty and the Beast show that we love!

Meeting Jake-and-the-neverland-pirates. It's all one name to her. 😉

She saw Sophia the First and waved to her too but didn't get a photo with her.

While Brielle and I were with Jake, Alex took the big girls into the animation area next to us. They came out to tell us they had found Minnie waiting all by herself with no line! In the building, different characters were set up for Meet-n-Greets in the main area but Minnie was back in a room by herself and it seemed everyone else was oblivious she was back there. The girls loved the extra time they got with her. Brielle gave her the longest hug of all time.

 Braylee & Brynna were taking in all of the details. They noticed everything.

Still hugging...

Disney Jr show- Brielle catching the "snow"

My fancy, pink-loving dancer Brynna made sure I took pictures of this girl. :)

Back at the resort, the girls just had to try out the pool. The water was really warm so they waded in...and of course little sister has to do everything the big girls do. She tried SO hard to hold her panties out of the water. :) It was so funny!

We did a little putt-putting at the resort too. Brielle doesn't really follow the rules and just dropped the ball in the hole after a few hits. I love Alex and Brynna's reactions. Precious memories.
