Pure Magic

David and I were excited to be going to Disney but NOTHING prepared us for the absolute pure joy we'd experience watching Molly and Lindsey in Magical Disney World. They were in absolute awe of everything they saw and everything they experienced. It was so fun to be with them as they rode rides for the first time, watched shows and parades, and met "real" princesses.

In the car catching the first glimpse of the Disney entrance. They were so happy just to see Disney billboards....imagine how nuts they went when they saw the "real" castle where Cinderella and friends live.

In the park entrance hanging out with Minnie and Walt.

The first view of the castle.


Molly was surprised the castle had blue on it. She didn't remember is having blue on it when she "saw the castle" a few years earlier as we did a drive-by on our way to Florida. We were passing Downtown Disney at night and were able to pass the Cirque du Soleil tent off as Cinderella's castle. She and Lindsey were in the back of the car screaming their heads off about seeing Cinderella's castle. Imagine how pleasantly surprised she was when she saw the real deal!



Molly and Minnie experiencing their first show. We hit the park at the perfect time and walked right into the princess show in front of the castle.

Lindsey had her own idea of how to wear her ears. She liked the visor/ear look.



David in heaven with both of his girls in his arms watching the princess show in front of the castle.


And here she is....the beloved Cinderella and Prince Charming!!!



Next stop was the Grotto where Lindsey talked and talked to her princess of choice, Ariel.

It's a Small World... this was Lindsey's favorite ride.

Dumbo with Daddy...

Lindsey's ride of choice was Grammy.



Who knew Lindsey would be hugging the characters. We weren't sure she'd go anywhere near them but she was quick to get in a hug with Donald.


We were lucky the entire day, hitting things at just the right time. We were in Frontier Land when the parade started so the girls got perfect seats to see all of the floats and the princesses.

Seeing the floats coming down the street.

Magic Carpets...
Ernie and Grammy with the spitting camel.

Grammy and the girls after the Teacups. Molly's favorite ride...

Falling into the car after perfect day.

Crashed!


A few words from Molly and Lindsey when looking back over these pictures as we put the blog page together.
Molly: "I love Walt Disney World!" My favorite princess is Cinderella. I love them all. Cinderella's castle was so big and I want to go back to Disney. My favorite ride is the Teacups."
Lindsey: "I was so glad I went to It's A Small World. And it sings...It's a small world after all...I loved that Ariel was real when I saw her and her fin. I loved Cinderella when she was real too. The end. Oh, and God, help Molly find her Minnie. Amen."
