Off We Go

Off We GoKatie Beth was her own seat. It makes her feel special. Playing with the window and all the other features that impress a two year old.

She got to see God-Mommie Allison this morning. Thanks for giving us the ride.

Mickey here we come.

Leaving Soon…

Mickey Mouse TravelOur travel to Walt Disney World is just around the corner. I have been getting excited. The weather is looking to be great with minimal rain in the forecast and temperatures in the low 80’s.

We have been checking our planning lists. Karen is still looking for better deals as expected.

I am looking forward to Katie Beth riding the Barnstormer at Goofy’s Wiseacre Farm. Katie Beth has grown to over 36 inches, which allows her to ride this attraction. She has grown over 2 inches since her last visit in May.

Walt Disney World Trip Around Corner

It is hard believe that our trip to Walt Disney World is almost here. Karen booked a rental car tonight, but she will keep looking for the “better deal”.

I am looking forward to Katie Beth being able ride a larger group of rides. She will be over 36 inches tall and the first heigth cut off is 35 inches.

The New Addition to Our Car

The New Addition to Our CarWe love going to Disney World so we are showing it now. We saw these stickers during our last trip in May to Walt Disney World. We just had to get them.

Karen worked really hard to get them laid out just right on the car. I think they look great.

Wonderful Time at Walt Disney World

Minnie Mouse and Katie BethWell, our trip is over.  Katie Beth had a great time, but she had to learn about queues.

She had a great experience with Mulan in the China Pavilion at Epcot.  Katie Beth took Mulan for a walk through China.  It just wonderful, and thankfully, no one was waiting in line to see Mulan.  They walked around the “Temple of Heaven” and then they returned to where Mulan had been.  They hugged and said their goodbyes.

I think Katie Beth enjoyed all of the play areas more than anything else in the parks.  She climbed all of the place at the Pixie Hollow Play Area.  You will find video at the link at the bottom of this page.

She got to have a turkey leg, which is one of the best items to eat throughout the parks.  There is nothing like the shine of grease all over your face from a turkey leg.

She enjoyed the Safari and Petting Area at Affection Section in the Animal Kingdom.  She had a hard time understanding that you can not go wherever you want.  She kept wanting to go inside the safe areas setup for the animals so they could get away from children.  She really enjoyed seeing all of the animals.

Tiger

She had a great time seeing all of the Disney characters, too.  Here she is with Eeyore, Winnie the Pooh, and Tigger.  You can see many more pictures of Katie Beth with other Disney characters at the link at the bottom of this page.

The rides were fun.  Katie Beth especially enjoyed the Mad Hatter’s Tea Cup rider.  Here is small video clip:

Trip Coming to an End

We had a great time during this trip. But, Karen has been exhusted most of
the time and her feet are giving her problems (blisters).

Haunted Mansion Revised

Huanted Mansion RevisedKatie Beth enjoyed the ride. We did it twice. Karen and I loved the new version of the ride. The bride with multiple murdered husbands was good.

Katie Beth wanted to stay inside the ride. While entering the second time, Katie Beth asked for my iPhone so she could use it for a flashlight. The new ride was darker than previously.

Serious Merry-Go-Around Rider

Serious Merry-Go-Around RiderKatie Beth is having fun on the merry-go-around. Karen, who is watching, said Katie Beth was laughing and smiling the whole time.

Next, we are off to the Winnie-the-Pooh ride.

We skipped the fairies, because of the 90 minute wait.
