These were at the lego store at Downtown Disney. Made completely out of lego pieces

The view from our room. it was so AWESOME to look out the window and see Cinderellas castle at any given time. Wake up in the morning and have coffee on the balcony and just stare at it lol. Hannah fell asleep every night looking out the window at the castle illuminated with all different colors. it was amazing
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b357/sparks1919/2nd%20set%20of%20pics/3rd%20set%20of%20pics/4th%20set%20of%20pics/7th%20set%20of%20pics/DSC_0067-2.jpg

I wish I took more pics of the room but that was an oversight on my part. But here is Hannah being a princess and you can see the living room and kitchen area

Monday morning we got up and made it for Rope Drop at Magic Kingdom (park opening). They have a cute little opening ceremony where all the characters go up top and welcome everyone in with dancing and music and magic
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b357/sparks1919/2nd%20set%20of%20pics/3rd%20set%20of%20pics/4th%20set%20of%20pics/7th%20set%20of%20pics/DSC_0003-2.jpg

here there be magic

The very first thing Hannah wanted to do was go see Daisy. This was the PERFECT start to our trip. Hannah was thrilled to bits and Daisy just doted on her. Daisy spent a lot of extra time with Hannah and it was certainly appreciated. They hugged and played and twirled

when we thought our time was up we were going to jump in for our family shot but Daisy wasn't ready for her turn with Hannah to end LOL She held up her finger to signal us to wait... she wasn't ready and then the posing began lol

Kisses

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b357/sparks1919/2nd%20set%20of%20pics/3rd%20set%20of%20pics/4th%20set%20of%20pics/7th%20set%20of%20pics/DSC_0016-2.jpg

On the way out from seeing Daisy a cast member stopped to wish her a happy birthday... hannah appreciated it HAHAHA

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b357/sparks1919/2nd%20set%20of%20pics/3rd%20set%20of%20pics/4th%20set%20of%20pics/7th%20set%20of%20pics/DSC_0018-2.jpg

Then we headed in to see Mickey and Minnie. Hannah did NOT want to see Mickey though. seems she has something against the male characters and only wants to see the female ones lol. She shunned mickey but was all about minnie. Poor mickey was sad
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b357/sparks1919/2nd%20set%20of%20pics/3rd%20set%20of%20pics/4th%20set%20of%20pics/7th%20set%20of%20pics/DSC_0022-2.jpg

When Minnie had Hannah in a hug she motioned Mickey to sneak over just a little... and we managed to get a shot with all three lol

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b357/sparks1919/2nd%20set%20of%20pics/3rd%20set%20of%20pics/4th%20set%20of%20pics/7th%20set%20of%20pics/DSC_0025-3.jpg

Then it was time for the princesses. We used a fast pass for this. A fast pass is where you take your park tickets and put them in a machine and it spits out a return time. you come back at that time and you go right in so you don't have to wait in the 30 minute line. A God send with children who are DYING to see the princesses (or to get on a certain ride... fast passes are only available for certain attractions)

First was Cinderella

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b357/sparks1919/2nd%20set%20of%20pics/3rd%20set%20of%20pics/4th%20set%20of%20pics/7th%20set%20of%20pics/DSC_0030-3.jpg

They chatted and had a wonderful visit. Cinderella signed Hannah's book "Happy Birthday Princess Hannah Love Cinderella" Hannah was over the moon

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b357/sparks1919/2nd%20set%20of%20pics/3rd%20set%20of%20pics/4th%20set%20of%20pics/7th%20set%20of%20pics/DSC_0032-3.jpg

Next was Belle. She was sitting on the floor so Hannah figured she should follow suit and sit as the princess was LOL Belle thought it was pretty funny

[sparks19]

Aurora was next and she was wonderful too (big surprise right? lol all the cast members are awesome). Hannah ran up and Aurora loved her wand that had a dangly crystal heart in the center. Aurora started looking through the Magic crystal and I missed the photo op but the photopass guy got a really cute one of them both looking through the wand together. ADORABLE

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b357/sparks1919/2nd%20set%20of%20pics/3rd%20set%20of%20pics/4th%20set%20of%20pics/7th%20set%20of%20pics/DSC_0054-3.jpg

I also missed it on Camera but I think I have the video of it. At the end of her time with Aurora we were heading away and hannah stopped and turned to aurora and gave her a perfectly exaggerated curtsey lol it was so cute.

Beautiful Cinderella fountain. Disney is so good at hiding little magic things all over the place where you aren't even looking for them but you can see behind this fountain is a crown painted on the wall. If you kneel down (if you are an adult you need to kneel to see it) The crown sits just above Cinderellas head... like she's wearing it. But children do not have to kneel, they are the perfect height and the reason for this strategic placement was that Cinderella is ALWAYS a princess to children who remember the magic but adults need to kneel because they need to be reminded to let that child inside them out and see the magic. They are so clever lol

Time for a ride on her noble steed lol
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b357/sparks1919/2nd%20set%20of%20pics/3rd%20set%20of%20pics/4th%20set%20of%20pics/7th%20set%20of%20pics/DSC_0072-3.jpg

We then headed to the dressmakers shop where they have a cute little area set up for photo shoots for the kids. it doesn't cost any extra to do this but it's all through photopass (which I pre ordered the CD before we left for $50 off the regular price) so their photographers pose the kids and do the photoshoot. So I have to wait until I have the CD to show pictures of this. it was cute and hannah had a blast doing her princess photo shoot. but here she is talking to her photographer

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b357/sparks1919/2nd%20set%20of%20pics/3rd%20set%20of%20pics/4th%20set%20of%20pics/7th%20set%20of%20pics/DSC_0074-3.jpg

After a few more rides it was time to head out and get back to the resort for a nap and get out of the heat of the day. it was SO bloody hot... no more trips in september lol. On our way out we happened to spot snow white and there was almost no one in the line

They were talking about her nailpolish lol

Hannah had a thing for steps during this trip. Every stair case we passed she had to go up and make her grand entrance down the staircase... like cinderella lol
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b357/sparks1919/2nd%20set%20of%20pics/3rd%20set%20of%20pics/4th%20set%20of%20pics/7th%20set%20of%20pics/DSC_0092-1.jpg

A couple videos from the first day at Magic Kingdom. We wanted to go back in the evening but it ended up raining for a few hours so we were stuck in the room which REALLY bummed me out lol. but it was the only rain we got the whole trip so I can't complain

Meeting Daisy

When we got back to the resort there was a Cinderella trading pin on the table next to a birthday card signed by Mickey and a message on the voicemail from Mickey and Minnie singing Happy Birthday. It never ceases to amaze me how Disney can make you feel so special and like an individual even though there are thousands upon thousands of guests at any given time. you don't feel like you are lost in the crowd. they go out of their way to make you feel special.

Day 2

Off to Epcot first thing in the morning. This was the actual day of Hannah's birthday. My baby girl is now 4 years old.

Riding the monorail to Epcot. Hannah loved the monorail. sometimes we would walk over to the contemporary and just go for a ride on the monorail just for fun haha

Grammy took Hannah over to meet with Daisy (again) while Brian and I ran to ride Soarin. if you have not had the pleasure of experiencing this ride... it's something everyone should do once lol. It is AMAZING. It's a hang glider simulator. You get in your seat and the room goes black and they lift you up into the air. The screen lights up and it's a 360 degree screen and then they take you on a flight through california. through the mountains, over rivers and the ocean, over orange groves... and because this is Disney they don't overlook anything. When you fly over the orange grove you actually SMELL oranges, when you fly over the ocean you can smell the salt water in the air. awesome. it really feels like you are flying. The ride ends when you fly over Magic Kingdom and stop in front of the castle. tinkerbell flies across the screen and sprinkles you with a little pixie dust and then they shoot off fireworks over the castle as you watch from your hang glider. When the ride ends EVERYONE cheers and hoots and hollers. You know it's an awesome ride when it gets a round of applause at the end.

After that we all headed to The Seas with Nemo. You take a fun little ride in a clam shell through the aquarium. But this isn't just any aquarium... it's filled with real fish but then you also see nemo and dory and all the characters from finding nemo swimming by the glass and going through the storyline of the movie. Tres cool. Once inside we headed to turtle talk with Crush. a totally interactive show where you get to talk to Crush the Turtle and ask him questions. HILARIOUS. Here are a few videos

UH OH... Bruce the Great white got us

After some fun around the park it was time to take Hannah to her special birthday princess lunch at the Akershus in the Norway Pavillion at World Showcase. first we took her back to the UK where they have the red phone booths and they actually work and yes I had the phone number to call them lol. So I called and pretended to be Cinderella and invited her to lunch. that was planned... after hanging up however, the phone rang again. so we answered just for fun. I don't know who called but they pretended to be snow white and chatted to Hannah and wished her a happy birthday etc etc. Hannah was so excited. Now off to our special lunch.

When we arrived we were guided into a room where you get a photo taken with Belle. if you'll notice this is the SAME woman that was Belle from Magic Kingdom the day before. She remembered meeting Hannah the day before. When we came in she bent down and said "hello Princess, didn't we meet yesterday at Magic Kingdom? so nice to see you again" I can't believe she remembered Hannah. After seeing thousands of children the day before... not to mention how many she must have already visited with at the restaurant she actually remembered Hannah specifically. That was a very magical moment.

Aurora came to our table first. Hannah didn't realize that the princesses would be visiting the tables so she wasn't paying attention. she was just drawing in her autograph book and here comes aurora. Aurora got right up to the table but didn't say a word. just waited for Hannah to notice her. LOL I wish I had the camera ready to catch that moment. she stood at the table and Hannah glanced up briefly and did a double take. when she realized who was standing there her face just LIT up. Aurora cracked up. such a priceless moment

Mary poppins was also there... I know not a princess but that didn't matter to hannah. Plus this was the first time we had the chance to meet Mary. She complimented Hannah on practicing her artwork in her autograph book LOL I told her she was perfecting her princess signature lol

Brian did not join us for the princess lunch. it was a girls day lol. Just Hannah, Grammy and mommy. After the lunch Grammy broke off to go spend a little time with Brians sisters family group. Hannah and I were supposed to be heading back to the room for a break and nap but I remembered a few things I wanted to do that we hadn't had a chance to do yet so Hannah and I got some mommy/hanny time. Just the two of us which was AWESOME. It was so nice to have a little unplanned one on one time. We headed over to the Japan Pavillion to do "Pick a Pearl"

Pick a pearl is a fun little thing where you get to pick your oyster from a tank and they do a little ceremony and everything while they open the oyster and harvest your pearl. We did two... I wanted two pearls so I could make necklaces for both Hannah and I. a nice little keepsake. Another amazing thing about Disney is how they try to keep everything as authentic as possible. The people that work in each country are actually FROM that country. Our server at Akershus in Norway was actually Norwegian and all the ladies at the pick a pearl in Japan are actually from Japan, etc etc. An awesome little touch to the world showcase experience.

Where is the pearl?

Would you believe the first oyster she opened contained a silver blue pearl. AWESOME!!!!. A rare experience. The pearl is stunning. The second oyster had the usual ivory pearl but still very beautiful.

On the way out we passed by Daisy and we just HAD to stop for another meeting... it actually turned into TWO meetings lol. We visited Daisy and then saw Stitch and then Hannah wanted to see Daisy ONE more time and since there were only two people waiting in line I figured WHY NOT.

Admiring hannah's dress

Then we met Stitch. Hannah wanted to meet him but she was a little nervous so I had to hold on to her. but she did great. gave him a high 5 and we posed for a photo (thank you to stitchs wrangler for taking the pictures for me)

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b357/sparks1919/2nd%20set%20of%20pics/3rd%20set%20of%20pics/4th%20set%20of%20pics/7th%20set%20of%20pics/DSC_0167.jpg

We headed back to the resort after that but there was a wrench thrown into the works. the monorail was down. ruh roh. So there I was. Just Hannah and I and a big honking stroller and I had to wrangle it onto the special bus they set up to take us to the transportation center where we could grab the other monorail (still in working order) back to the resort. I told Hannah we were going on an adventure. she was thrilled LOL and it just made me SO thankful that she is such an easy going child. I had more trouble with wrangling the stroller than I did wrangling her. She listens very well lol. It was SO hot though and first thing I did when we got back was take a COLD shower. I had to fold up the full size stroller to take it on the bus and then I had to lift it OVER my head to get to the back haha. it was an adventure alright.

That evening Grammy offered to watch Hannah while we went back to Epcot for a bit just the two of us. I think Tuesday was the greatest day. I got one on one time with my best girl and then got to spend one on one time with the best hubby I could ever wish for. the day didn't end there either.

This photo was a fun experience because there was a couple standing next to us so I offered to take a photo for them and They thanked us and offered to return the favor. I LOVE fellow Disney people. We talked to more strangers like they were friends on this trip and no one finds that strange lol. We are all friends at Disney World

We drank around the world. stopped in Canada for a Torontopolitan, stopped in Morrocco for a oasis slushie and then Brian stopped in Germany to get a beer... which he ordered in German lol. The girl behind the counter (who is from germany) was awesome and thought it was very cool that he was ordering in german so they chatted (in german) for a few moments while she poured the beer. it's little moments like that that make this place so amazing.

Brian trying the Beverly at The Club Cool. it's a neat place at Epcot where you can try different sodas from around the world. the beverly is NOT a tasty one haha

Then we headed back to the resort to make it home in time for Hallo-wishes. Wishes is the fireworks display they have every night over the castle. But Tuesday night was Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween party so they put on a special fireworks display and it... was... AWESOME. After that the whole lot of us (9 of us total) headed down to the pool for a late night swim. Hannah was going non stop from 7 am to after 11 pm. She was amazing. she did not have ONE single meltdown even though I'm sure she was totally exhausted. She hit the pillow and was out in literally 30 seconds lol.

The kids at the pool

[sparks19]

This was Joe the concierge at Bay Lake. When we came in that day he spent about 10 minutes chatting with us and covering Hannah with stickers lol and then he grabbed the roll of stickers and pulled it as hard as he could and where ever it stopped that's where he ripped it off. Hannah had a 10 foot strip of stickers haha

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b357/sparks1919/2nd%20set%20of%20pics/3rd%20set%20of%20pics/4th%20set%20of%20pics/7th%20set%20of%20pics/DSC_0226.jpg

We were supposed to go over to Fort Wilderness that evening to where Brians sister was staying but by the time they were ready (very slow going... the theme of their trip lol) it was getting late and there wasn't much point so we just went swimming and took hannah for a walk around the resort to do all the stuff there

here was her cake

We stopped by the arcade in the Contemporary for some fun. This game was cool. You had to stomp or hit the random lights as they light up. she loved it and she was pretty good at it lol
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b357/sparks1919/2nd%20set%20of%20pics/3rd%20set%20of%20pics/4th%20set%20of%20pics/7th%20set%20of%20pics/DSC_0287.jpg

that night Brian and I had a late reservation for California Grill. It's a restaurant on the roof of the Contemporary Resort. While we were waiting for our turn to be seated we sat at the bar and chatted with the couple next to us and Ray the Bartender. Ray was GREAT. he made great drinks and chatted with us the whole time (without neglecting other customers of course). When we were seated our waiter came over and his name was Taz and he was also FANTASTIC. he was funny and charming without being at all obnoxious. The food was fantabulous. I had a beefsteak and heirloom tomato soup for my starter and Brian had goat cheese ravioli for his. for our entrees Brian had Bison tenderloin and I had Mushroom stuffed pasta. For desert we had a hazlenut mousse. The meal was TO DIE FOR. Hands down one of the best meals I've ever eaten.
Day 4.... our last Disney park Day. BOOHOO

We went to Hollywood studios first thing in the morning. We wanted to try to get on Toy Story Mania but good gravy it was insanity. we got there right at park opening and by the time we got to the ride it was already a 70 minute wait and a huge line for fast passes. forget it LOL

She then wanted to meet Piglet which surprised me but I guess it's because he's pink so she was willing to overlook that piglet is a boy lol

[sparks19]

After nap we headed back to Magic Kingdom for our last night

first thing we did was head to meet the princesses we missed our first day. Ariel was first and she was greeting with Prince Eric.

So excited
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b357/sparks1919/2nd%20set%20of%20pics/3rd%20set%20of%20pics/4th%20set%20of%20pics/7th%20set%20of%20pics/DSC_0413-1.jpg

Hannah liked Eric lol. So the only males she likes to meet are princes and pink pigs haha

Next came Tiana and Prince Naveen. We didn't get to see her during our last trip so I was determined to meet her this time around. They were wonderful. She was so genuine and sweet and had such a big beautiful smile. Hannah really took to her (surprise surprise lol)

We stayed for "The magic the memories and You" and "Wishes". You should watch a video of The magic the memories and you and youtube. it's unreal. I don't know how they do it but they completely transform the castle into a million different things during the show. it can't be just regular projection. it looks so real. when the bricks do the wave it REALLY looks like the bricks are moving for real. AMAZING.

they had their little princess parade. this was really cute. All the fairy godmothers in training from the Bibbity Boppity Boutique come out and gather all the little princesses and then they all march through downtown Disney and all the cast members from other stores come out and make a big deal. they ring bells, cheer with pom poms, blow bubbles... whatever. Very cute. Hannah walked and did her princess wave and blew kisses to all her royal subjects. She was definitely right at home at Disney

THE END!!!!!

We had the greatest trip. it was better than we could have imagined. it's so hard to come back to reality where there is a major lack of pixie dust lol. We are already planning another trip lol we are hoping to get back to the World at the end of January. We just can't stay away.

I hope you enjoyed our little trip report. I'm sure I forgot a lot.

DONE!!!! thanks for hanging in there lol

[Alysser]

OH my god, I enjoyed these pictures so much!! :D You have no idea how jealous and happy I am that you guys had such an amazing time. :) I LOVE the pictures, all of them! The characters are my favorite, seriously, I cannot get ENOUGH pictures with the characters when I go to Disney! Did you guys book another trip for next year? I'm just going by the ticker thing in your siggy lol.

As for Hannah, she is such a cutie and I can tell she is going to be a DISNEY fanatic just like Mom & Dad! So cute! :D How did her ear "muscles" work? LOL. I am glad to see the finally finished the lego store, when I went in April they weren't done with it. Did you got on the new Star Tours ride? I also missed out on that experience in April. I LOVE the pics of the characters like I said. My sister is best friends with Chip and Dale (now works as a seasonal employee, only in the summer) and I am planning to audition in the next 2 years, it'd be lovely to see you guys down there if I make it! :D I'm not sure yet though. Your day at Epcot sounds amazing to! What restaurant did you guys eat at? My family and I ate in that beautiful Mexican Pavilion and it was BEAUTIFUL (has a backdrop of the temple of sun and the stars on the ceiling) and delicious food. I want to share disney pics now LOL. We should make a disney world thread!

Also, just wanted to add that you and your Hubby look so good after losing all that weight! Fantastic job there! I see a HUGE difference :D

LOL my ticker reset itself. I need to fix it. it's not 11 months until our next trip. It's only about 4 months HAHAHA. Yes we are planning a trip just the three of us for the end of January and then we'll be going again probably in December with the inlaws again :) woohoo two trips in the same year lol. We are going to look into annual passes. if we are doing two trips it will definitely be worth it to have them

The ear muscles worked like a charm. Everyone kept saying "That's a great idea... wish I would have thought of it for my kids on this trip". they worked great when things got a little too loud for Hannah

We didn't get a chance to ride star tours. I wanted to check out the new ride but Hannah wouldn't have been into it and Grammy wasn't with us that morning so we skipped it.

At epcot we had lunch at Akershus in Norway (the princess character lunch) and for dinner we just grabbed fish and chips from the little chip stand in UK. it was so good too lol.

Thank you. the weightloss was really noticeable on this trip. We had so much more energy and stamina and my feet weren't even hurting at the end of the day. let alone my knees, hips, back etc. It was great. I also can't imagine deal with that heat if I still had that extra 80 lbs on lol.

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Ahhh FINALLY!!!!!!!! I LOVE THEM ALL!! Hannah's sweet little face lights up every picture, I love all of the joy just beaming from each one of you! What a special family vacation, to the vest possible location ever, DISNEY WORLD! Doesn't get any better than that, period!
I love all of the pictures of her posing with all of the statues, absolutely precious! And the look on her adorable face with all of the Disney princesses is absolutely precious! What a fun and rewarding job that would be.... a job that not only you would love yourself, but the sheer fact of knowing how many children and adults alike that you make smile each day is so more than worth it. I would love that job! Lol! I'm so glad that everything worked out with the doggie as well as you and Hannah not feeling well early on in the trip!

[smokey the elder]

When she gets a little bigger, there are heaps more rides and stuff she can do! I highly recommend you add Animal Kingdom to your next trip; that place is awesome. It sounds like Hannah (and the rest of you lot) had a great time!

What a fun and rewarding job that would be.... a job that not only you would love yourself, but the sheer fact of knowing how many children and adults alike that you make smile each day is so more than worth it. I would love that job! Lol! I'm so glad that everything worked out with the doggie as well as you and Hannah not feeling well early on in the trip!

Thank you. I know. wouldn't that be the BEST JOB EVER lol I would love to work there.

Yes thank goodness it all worked out. I had a really sore ear for the first few days of our trip but I wasn't going to let it get me down. Thankfully the antibiotics kicked in and gave me some relief for the rest of the trip.


When she gets a little bigger, there are heaps more rides and stuff she can do! I highly recommend you add Animal Kingdom to your next trip; that place is awesome. It sounds like Hannah (and the rest of you lot) had a great time!

Oh I know... that's the best part. As the years go by there will just be new and different things to experience as she grows.

We did animal kingdom on our last trip. Great fun. we like it there. it just didn't fit into our trip this time but hopefully in January we can squeeze in all 4 parks :)

So nice to see all these great pictures!! :D :D I just love the close ups of Hannah with Daisy and their cheeks together.

We are going to Disneyland in January, but only for a day or two. We went to a music convention down there last January and it was torture for me to walk past the California Disney park and hear the people screaming on the rides. So I told Bruce this year I HAVE to go to Disneyland!!! :D I haven't been since I was 19.....LONG ago! We went to Disneyworld about 5 years ago, but it was a quick trip too because we got caught in a major down pour. The water was up to my ankles as we walked down the street.

Also, I do not have an adorable little princess to take with us. But I'll think of Hannah the whole time I'm there! :)

[dab_20]

Wow! I'm exhausted just looking through all these pictures, but it looked like SO much fun!

Hannah is one LUCKY, obviously very loved little girl. She's so adorable.

I went to Epcot when I was 10. I actually don't even remember it that well... and that was only 9 years ago! I DO remember the around the world part of it. I remember how much fun it was. I couldn't go on a lot of rides though because I have severe motion sickness :o
I did go to Disney land in CA like three years ago, I had a blast!

Looks like such a wonderful time.

This is why we took a LOT of pictures.

When we got home yesterday, Hannah asked "can we go see Daisy tomorrow?" Wifey poo responded thus... "Awww, no honey we can't. But we can look at the pictures and use our memories to think about the time you had with Daisy. That should help the next time we get to go see her arrive faster."

:)

Praise the Lord for digital cameras! LOL

Thanks all for playing along with us. We know she only gets a short amount of time to just be a kid and simply enjoy the magic like only a young child can.....

[sparks19]

I'm sitting here watching all the videos again... tearing up LOL. but it reminded me of something funny she said when she met belle.

Belle asked her what she wished for for her birthday and she said Dresses HAHAHAHA oddly enough... she got 4 new dresses for her birthday but she didn't know that at that point LOL so her wish came true.

disney magic :love:

[RobiLee]

Enjoyed each and every photo! What a wonderful adventure!! Hannah is such a pretty little girl and I love that she isn't shy and afriad to pose with all the characters. Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us. I really enjoyed it!

[Asiel]

Looks like the trip was all you hoped for and then some. Yes, so lucky to have digi's today. Hannah and both of you will be sharing those memories forever, you don't forget special events like these. Glad you'll be going back, it just gets better each time and there's always more pictures to take. Thanks for sharing the trip with us.

[Roxyluvsme13]

I LOVE THESE. SO MUCH.

I am determined to get to Disney soon or someday, even if I have to wait till I'm 25, hahaha.

Hannah is so precious and she looks like she had an amazing time.

You and your hubby are both looking great!

[dab_20]

This is why we took a LOT of pictures.

Yeah, we really didn't take many pictures. And if we did, god knows where they are!

[Bonny]

Love all the pictures of your family & hearing about the good time you all had. Your right Hannah is growing up fast & you have to enjoy her & take in all the fun things that kids like to do even the big kids. :D

[sparks19]

Thanks everyone :)

We really had the time of our lives. I have ALWAYS loved Disney World but it's even better with a little princess to experience it with. We are hoping to be back there end of January for a little trip just the three of us and then back again in December with the inlaws for our annual family trip :)

I honestly don't know why I never looked into getting a job there when I was younger lol it would have been perfect for me. Maybe when we are old and retired and can't handle the cold anymore we'll move there and I'll get a job hahahaha.

[lvpets2002]

:eek: WoW Lots of Adorable Nice Pics.. Looks like All Had A Blast.. Hanna has grown so much.. Such A Sweetie Pie..

[sparks19]

LOL we have a problem....

We are now officially booked for a trip in January :) WOOHOO only 109 days until we go back

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Yay!!! That is definitely NOT a problem in my book!! Let the countdown begin!:D

[jennielynn1970]

Loved looking at all the pictures, and the look on Hannah's face in each of them is just priceless. You can tell she just loved the princesses and posing and just having so much fun!!

Can't wait to see the pics from your January trip!! I just can't believe how big she is getting!!! The change is just amazing!

[sparks19]

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b357/sparks1919/8th%20set%20of%20photos/Photo0124FourBySix.jpg

This is called a magic shot. the photographer poses you in such a way that it looks like you are doing something specific... in this case having a sword fight and then later they add in a character. So now we have a photo that looks like puck is having a sword fight with captain hook lol

Then they have a little place called Castle couture and in there they have the dress makers shop where little girls and go and get a princess photoshoot done (at no extra cost)

Those pictures are AWESOME! :D I am almost afraid to ask you how much all that cost. :p But I love the one of puck having a sword fight with captain hook, where was that taken? I need to know next time I go! A little birdy told me we might just be going NEXT Christmas :D The family ones are always my favorite when people come back from disney, way too cute!

I meant to ask you, was it crowded at this time of year? We went in April, the week before easter week, and it wasn't crowded at all, it was awesome! Harry potter world is another story though, there were lines to get into the stores there. :o

Actually didnt cost that much. If you preorder the CD you can get it for $99 and it includes every single photo you get taken b a photopass photographer :). Even the magic shots. And all the stuff we did like the photo shoot and the princess Parade was free also :)

The one with captain hook was taken right outside of pirates of the carribbean just off to the side. So if you see a photopass person milling around that area ask f they do magic shots :)

It was not that crowded. I was expecting less crowded based on everything i read but everyone said it was unusually crowded for the last weekmof september bt still very managable crowds :)

[Sowa]

What precious pictures and videos! Looks like you all had a blast! Hannah is adorable :D
