Spring Break...Day 3 PM

We headed back to MK late in the afternoon...we had a special date awaiting us.

Meeting the princesses!

MaeMae was awestruck

We also got to meet Mickey Mouse!

Who, by the way, was a bit too friendly.

These extra two girls really wanted to have a playmate!

After the princesses we tried to find a snack (too long of lines!), and found a spot for the light parade!

Right after the parade was over, the littles crawled into the stroller and curled up! We asked the older two if they wanted to stay and do more rides, they opted to leave. So, we gathered up and left!

Our tired crew! We watched the fireworks as we walked out of the park to the ferry!

Spring Break, Day 3 AM

We met Mary Poppins, too bad I couldn't get her to stay with us until the wind changed!

See how busy it was already??? This was NOTHING compared to our first day!

The vroom vrooms!

My driver

Dad and the boys!

Tea cups! A must do! (Maeve was taking a potty break, and was not pleased that we didn't make it back for her!)

Kellen explored Dumbo's circus while the kids went on the barnstormer roller coaster with Dad.

Nealy and Aidan...best buds

Mom's partner...MaeMae LOVED the barnstormer!

Riding Dumbo!

Dancing!

Everyone fell asleep on the way back except Kellen.

By the time we hit our second day of Disney we had a better plan in place. We got to the park BEFORE the gates opened, and we were able to do so much more! Nealy and Wes went on Space Mountain, they loved it! Bubba was a bit disappointed that he wasn't tall enough to go on (Nealy barely made it!), but he handled it pretty well, and thankfully another ride (the people mover) went THROUGH space mountain, which seemed to help him! We went on many rides without much wait in the first couple hours, got fast passes for a few more, and when the park started to get busy, we busted out of there for an afternoon nap! We had fast passes to meet the princesses and Mickey for after dinner! We headed back to rest and have dinner, and bundle up for our evening trip back to the park!

Spring Break...Day 2!

Well, day two is one that we would rather forget. Nealy had a rough night, fell out of bed and bloodied her nose pretty badly. We decided to let her sleep in...BIG mistake when it came to getting to Disney. We left the townhouse (about 4 miles to Disney), about 9:30...we made it into the park about 1pm! NIGHTMARE! Between it being high season for Disney, our parking pass not working, and they actually hit capacity and had to close the gates that day (we're talking 80,000 tickets people...NOT counting kids under 2!) We brought 2 double strollers, and the kids barely got to see out them. We went on a grand total of ONE ride that day before calling it quits. Not quite your story book ending here. We were miserable. It was cold and windy, the kids were overwhelmed, Wes and I were overwhelmed! We got caught by every parade Magic Kingdom had to offer that day! We were planning on trying to come back for fireworks that night, but decided against it. Instead we went to a local Target and stocked up on souvenirs! Wes and I will chalk this day up to inexperience and being there at the wrong time.
