Disney World 2013

The new Ariel ride!

Coming off of Goofy's Barnstormer roller coaster!  The girls enjoyed the roller coaster's this year, even riding Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

The racetrack is still one of their favorites...

Buzz Lightyear...please note that Travis felt it necessary to roll up his sleeves!  He scored in the 170K whereas I scored about 2500

Also still loving the carousel...

Cinderella!  Their conversations with the princesses are just too funny!

The parade!  We had great spots or something because almost every character came up and high fived the girls or spoke to them!

Mickey Mouse talked!!  This is really special, he does not always talk and we've never heard him before, but we had been told that this particular Mickey would talk on occassion!  So cool.  You can see that Charlotte is a little taken back that he spoke to her!  He even told us a couple jokes :)

Getting ready to get gussied up at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique!

Must protect our face from all that glitter and hairspray!

Final touch, the "pixie dust"

Now THAT is tired!

Breakfast at Tusker House in Animal Kingdom!

What is this?!  Is Claire letting a character touch her??

MAJOR milestone!  Claire hugs a Disney character for the first time!!

She can't believe she actually let Daisy touch her!!





Festival of the Lion King show.  You can't really see it here, but I was totally rocking a Hakunah Matatah shirt!

Must have a Mickey Mouse Ears ice cream!

They rode the Tower of Terror!!  Such big girls riding my favorite ride EVER!  Definitely a little scary but they were champs...fake smiled through all of it (see example from Camille above)

Enchanted Tales with Belle in the Magic Kingdom on our last night...cute little interactive show, starring Charlotte as Ms. Potts and Camille as a salt shaker :)



On the racetrack for one last ride...it was close to midnight at this point!



About 12:30 our last night...finally wore them both out!

Upset to be leaving Disney and headed home...consoling ourselves with a cookie!
