Juli's Magical Birthday Celebration

We celebrated Juli's 4th birthday and Maddie's 10th birthday at the Magic Kingdom in Disney World. The girls had a blast, as did everyone else!

"WE'RE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!!"

"Today's my birthday!"


We got to the Magic Kingdom in time for the park opening. We saw the little opening ceremony at the front gates. Once inside we ran up and hopped right on the Train to get around to Toon Town, so we wouldn't have to wait forever in the line to meet the princesses. Last year by the time we got there the wait was 2.5 hours! We tried to get there first thing in the morning. When we got there we were a little bit early. Toon Town wasn't even open yet! Luckily we still had access to the little playground and the girls played there for a while.



It was finally time to open Toon Town. As we waited at the rope, we saw Mickey and Minnie come out on the porch of Mickey's house. One of Mickey's "friends" came over and asked Juli if she would like to go up and visit with Mickey and Minnie. Of course she said YES!! He asked me if our family would like to join her. I said, "Sure, but there are A LOT of us!" They didn't seem to mind. Juli went up and was whisked away by Mickey and Minnie on a tour of his house and garden. We were the only ones allowed in until they were finished. It was pretty cool! Livi and Katie hung back a little bit. They weren't so sure of Mickey and Minnie at first.







Livi still isn't so sure. She never really warmed up to them. She didn't cry though, just pinched James to death! LOL


Katie came around and sat with Minnie. Yay, Katie! Not all Big Heads are scary!

After that we went over to get in line with the Princesses, we didn't have to wait long at all! The girls LOVED the princesses of course. Livi really liked Belle, which suprised me.









After that we decided to hit some rides. I didn't take many pictures on the rides. Here is one I took of Livi on Pooh's Grand Adventure, she loved it!


We made it around to Frontierland just in time to catch a parade. Juli loved the parade. She was waving to everyone in it!


Livi only waved to princesses and only from a distance in the safety of Daddy's arms.


At the end of the day, Juli told me, "Mommy - that was the best birthday EVER!!"


My princesses.
