Our Disney trip was one of the most magical things I've witnessed. As a mom, I couldn't be happier. Both of my sweet girls were awed by the happiest place on Earth.
I know Ainsley won't remember this trip, but while we were there, her eyes have never been brighter. She couldn't wait for the bus to come get us. As we waited at each stop she would yell over and over, "Ainsley's ready," which came out as "Ai-dey rea-ye." She blew kisses to characters as long as they stood at a distance. And she said "hi everybody" (hi e-ye-bo-ye) walking through every park. She wasn't a fan if the characters came too close but then she wanted them back as soon as they were gone.
For Leighton, this was her second trip but first one that she understood, that she could ride all of the rides, and boy did her face light up at every new opportunity. Every character she met she was ecstatic. Every princess she talked to she loved. Every ride she rode became real. She loved talking to the princesses. Ariel is her all-time favorite and did the best job playing the part. Their conversation went a little like this:
Ariel: "I see it's your birthday (Leighton had on a birthday shirt)."
Leighton: I'm going to be 5.
Ariel: "You are a perfect starfish!" (Leighton smiling the biggest smile)
Leighton: I love your hair. It is so pretty."
Ariel: Thank you! I comb it every day with my dingle hopper. (Leighton giggling)
Leighton; "Where is prince Eric?"
Ariel: "He is taking Max the dog for a walk but I will tell him you said hello. (Leighton is awe-struck)
Leighton loved the roller coasters...thunder mountain and splash mountain were her favorites. Soarin' was also a big hit. We rode it twice and she remembered every detail the second time. This trip was my parents first trip and they are already asking when we will go again. We love Disney! Until next time (warning....there is total picture overload coming!)...
