Not Just Another Disney Trip!

Patiently waiting to see a princess

Aurora is one of MH's faves.

The Fall decor was so pretty

Surprise! Its a character dinner with Pooh and Friends. They were excited.

The kids loved spending time with Uncle Dave and Tia who made a surprise visit!

MH was surprised to dine with the princesses

Uncle Dave and Em ... long time no see!

An ode to awkward years

Dave always wanted a pony. Hahaha!

The Pizza in Italy was my favorite food of the trip. Imported from Naples. YUM-O!

The kids LOVED watching Daddy perform!

So, Chris was the winner for the American Idol Experience Finale!

EPCOT fireworks from inside the new Mexican restaurant. The music for the show is piped into the place! Cool!

Disney: There's Always Something New

We have been to Disney more times than I can count. And we still love it. Even though we have been so many times, we are still discovering new things.
On our last trip we found a not-so-hidden Barber Shop just past the entrance to the Magic Kingdom! So, we tried it out. It was a fun experience, fast, and quite reasonably priced.
Though it was new to us, the small three chair barber shop has been around for quite awhile. In fact, the barber who cut Avery's hair has been working at that same chair for well over a decade!

The name of the shop is Harmony. Would you believe that they even have a barber shop quartet that stops in to sing? Its Disney, so you'd better believe it! The Dapper Dans were not there when we were, but we have seen them strolling up and down Main Street before.

Princess for a Day

While at Disney a few weeks ago ...

Avery happened to get sick in the middle of the night. That was a first for us... especially at the hotel. Turns out there are very nice housekeepers that tended to our every need, disinfecting, delivering new sheets in the middle of the night and even cleaning the carpets! Chris stayed back with Avery while MH and I shared a special day. My husband is wonderful to us like that.

Little Miss Mary Hannah enjoyed her mother-daughter day at Magic Kingdom dressed as Belle. (A big thank you to Grandma for making her dress!) We had lunch with the princess at Cinderella's Castle, rode the Golden Carousel, listened to Story Time with Belle and toured Minnie Mouse's House and visited with Tinkerbell. Disney World is always magical. But the time that Mary Hannah and I shared with each other was precious.

This video was taken in Belle's Story Time Nook. It was just after MH saw Belle. She heard the music and started dancing. I turned on the camera and let her do her thing. She was in fairytale land for sure!
