D-Duck, Aurora & Cinderellllla

Yes, you guessed it. We just returned from a week at Disneyworld. Other than the heat and humidity, we loved every minute.




Over numerous trips to the Magic Kingdom, MGM Studios and Epcot Center, we managed to ride and visit almost every attraction. We even managed to spend half a day in the Animal Kingdom, Disney's newest park.



The highlight of the trip had to be the Pirate and Princess Party on Saturday evening. Disney closes the park at 7pm for patrons with regular admission and extends the park hours until early the next morning for a special celebration. It included a special parade, treasure hunt, smaller lines at most of the attractions and a 360 degree park firework show that was incredible! And, the best part was seeing Kylie's excitement over her new "Belle" dress that Bompa and Gamma Hansen bought her. Her face tells it all.



Overall, we had a "magical" time. And for Kylie, it was a chance to see D-Duck (aka. Donald Duck), Aurora (Sleeping Beauty for those of you unfamiliar with Disney Princess trivia) and Cinderellllla (Kylie's first favorite princess for whom she knows the words to 'A dream is wish your heart makes...'). However, she was still a little young to visit with the Disney character's she sees everyday on Playhouse Disney (JoJo, Goliath, June & Leo from the Little Einstein's, Snow White, Jasmine, Goofy, etc.). She burst into tears when they came near to say high, but would look with great interest and called their names at a distance.





Now, it is back to reality. Next week brings Stephanie's surgery and sometime in September a move into our new home at Daybreak. We had our 4-way walk-through today. Drywall will be installed tomorrow. Yeah!
