We had a wonderful time at the Magic Kingdom, and I have the pictures to prove it!
We got there the first day, just in time to see the castle show. It was a wonderful introduction to Disney World. We got to see Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, the princesses....all the favorites. We already knew that Julia loved all the characters, especially the princesses, but we soon learned that Lydia LOVES Minnie and the princesses too. She learned to say both Minnie Mouse, and Princess on our vacation.
Dave got us tickets to eat lunch with the princesses a few months before our Disney arrival, and it was great! Although the girls both love the princesses, they have opposite reactions to them. We have to hold Julia back until it's our turn, while gently convincing Lydia that Cinderella isn't scary. Maybe sticking her fingers up her nose is Lydia's nervous habit...?

Snow White was very sweet and lovable. Lydia warmed up to her very quickly.
Julia asked Ariel if she had legs or fins on this day. After Ariel showed Julia her feet, Julia was very interested in all the princesses feet.
Belle was the sweetest, best princess ever! She was so friendly and nice to the girls. This was the second time we got to meet her.
You might be able to tell from this picture that Princess Aurora was a little more standoffish then the other princesses. :)
Julia picked up this sword and said "Charge!"
The famous Dumbo ride!
We got to see some wonderful parades! Here are some pictures of some of the celebration.
We rode the carousel twice. The girls loved it and the lines moved quickly.
The girls loved touring Minnie and Mickey Mouses' houses. Julia is sitting on Minnie's fireplace.
This was Minnie's Living Room.
After touring their homes, we waited in line to actually meet Mickey and Minnie. Julia gave them hugs, but Lydia cried.

Here is Lydia pouting even though she has candy smeared all over her face. With all the heat and snacks, we were all filthy and exhausted at the end of every day!
After the parade the next night, the Disney staff put hula hoops out. Dave was happy to demonstrate for the girls.
We waited in line to get to meet Belle and Aurora the day before our princess lunch. It was good to know how the girls would react to the princesses.
We also helped Buzz Lightyear fight the war against aliens. 
I finally had my camera in the car the last day of our vacation, and was able to get a shot of the Walt Disney World welcome sign.
Before heading home, we visited Downtown Disney once more. It is a Disney shopping center with free admission. The following pictures are from that fun day.
Poor Lydia!
We had such a great time!! I am already scheming about what year we can go back. :) Hopefully we'll get the opportunity sometime.
