Disney Overload!

I have returned, physically from vacationing in Disney World. My mind, I believe, is still there, hanging out with the princesses, and having an amazing time.

Are you ready for a Disney overload of pictures? You know you are... So, here it goes!

Sam was realllllly excited... and looks a little possessed!

We ate in Japan the first night... Samantha and Maggie liked the kids chop sticks... I prefer a fork.

World's largest onion volcano.

All Maggie kept saying was that she wanted to meet Mickey & Minnie.
We were so thankful that we found a character meet & greet.

Pluto!

To get out of the rain (it rained almost every day), we went on the Nemo ride, which also had an aquarium with manatees! Fun Mel Fact: My favorite mammal is a manatee!

Trying to get a cute picture... they were too busy watching the sea gulls say

"MINE! MINE! MINE!"

Day 2:

Minnie Mouse at the bus stop.

Breakfast with Disney Jr. Characters...

Maggie with Special Agent Oso.

Jake LOVED Samantha. I'm pretty sure there were kids that didn't get to see him at all, because he kept spending so much time with Sammy girl.

Buzz!

The Great Movie Ride... I ride to see this!

Hollywood Studios

Day 3: Breakfast with Alice, the Mad Hatter, and Mary Poppins, Epcot with lunch with the princesses, and ending the day at Magic Kingdom.

(You'll notice that Maggie's not really with me at all... she wanted Daddy only!)

Sword in the Stone

Waiting for a 3-D Mickey show... I did not like this... or well, my head didn't.

Belle. She was amazing.

Day 4: Animal Kingdom

We started with breakfast at Rainforest Cafe, and then it was on to find fun in the park!

Tree of Life

Tinkerbelle found Samantha!

On the Safari, a lion came out and was talking to us... apparently this is uncommon.

Lunch with Donald, Mickey, Goofy, and Daisy...

We were being pirates.

Mickey Mouse!

Silly girls.

They were EXHAUSTED!

Day 5: Magic Kingdom with my friend, Amy, dinner with Prince Charming & Cinderella.

The small bit of attention that Maggie shared with me.

Daisy Duck!

Aladdin & Jasmine
We waited the day before to meet them, and they closed the line right before it was our turn... so the girls kept begging to see them...

       
Merida!

Prince Charming.

Amy & I had to get our picture with Prince Charming.

Cinderella & "Mini-rella" (as one of the step sisters called Maggie)

Evil Step Mother. She was hilarious.

This step sister was so much fun!

Hilarious.

That's right, Samantha danced with Prince Charming!
He bowed, she curtsied. :)

Buzz ride.

Tea Cups

Peter Pan with "Mayme" (Amy)

Woody & Jessie

Electrical Parade

Exhaustion with friends.

Day 6: Breakfast with Pooh & Friends... and then it's over... waaaaaa!

 

Magic Kingdom

Tinkerbelle found the girls here, too!

Eeyore

Maggie kept rubbing his belly.

Kisses for Piglet

Winnie the Pooh!

Tigger & jumpy girls!

We were tired, but sad to go home.

After we rode Haunted Mansion, Samantha exclaimed,
"I could go forever without riding THAT again!

On Friday, when boarding the plane, I asked Maggie who she wanted to sit by:

"Mayme!"

(My friend, Amy.)

I asked Samantha who was the favorite person/thing that she met:

"Oh, I dunno. But you liked meeting Prince Charming, didn't ya, Mommy?"

Why yes, yes I did.

We are hoping to make this an annual trip. Especially since there's a new part of Magic Kingdom opening in the fall.
