Day 3 WDW Hollywood Studios

We usually do not like to go to parks back to back, because you run out of energy--FAST. But, with Christian's work schedule, and our upcoming summer and fall schedule, we had to cram it all in.

Still one of the funnest indoor coasters--Rockin' Roller Coaster.

We watched a fun car stunt show.

We love the Beauty and the Beast Musical.

The Great Movie Ride is charming.

Fun Day!

Day 1 WDW at Magic Kingdom

After a nearly 2 hour wait to board a boat to get to the Magic Kingdom, we were finally on our way. The tram was broken that day. UGH!

This was a terrific way to spend a birthday. Aleya even wore a special button so all the cast members there could say, "Happy Birthday, Princess" everywhere she went . . . she felt very special.

Disney stuff does not get old.

WE FINALLY MADE IT!

We watched a fun show at Cinderella's Castle.
I love the People Movers ride in Tomorrowland.

Aleya was selected as "Boo" in a Monster's, Inc. comedy show.

Christian, aka Dad, stood nearly 2 hours in line for Aleya to see Rapunzel. The kids colored pictures and danced as they awaited her arrival.

Aleya was SO EXCITED to see Rapunzel and Eugene.

A dream come true!


We brought Amara's Alice Costume . . . just in case!

The boys had fun too.

I forced the family to go and see the Hall of Presidents (one of my favorites).

Splash Mountain is always a family favorite.

First time for the girls on the Aladdin ride.

During a rainstorm, we ducked into the shooting gallery and all enjoyed some free rounds of shooting practice.

It's been a fun day and now we're winding down to get ready for the parade.

Aleya enjoyed dancing and hula-hooping as we waited for the show and the parade.

Loved seeing the Electrical Parade, which used to be at Disneyland.



Cool effects show on the castle.

Love the fireworks!

Birthday . . . ON THE RUN!

Aleya poses for her Happy Birthday Picture . . . just as we leave to drive to Orlando.

Who says you can't do a birthday party in the car?


Thanks, grandma!

We were on our way to celebrate Aleya's birthday for four days at Walt Disney World.

Aleya's Photo Shoot

Aleya loves to dress up and change outfits multiple times a day. This time she wanted fairy princess make-up too!



She's a beauty ballet fairy princess!

School Musical--Alice in Wonderland--May 2011

Amara and Orrin participated in the school musical--Alice in Wonderland.



Amara played the role of Small Alice (when she eats and shrinks).

Three different sizes of Alice in this show.

The doorknob scene with the key too high to reach.



Alice with the Caterpillar.





Amara with the mean flowers.

The Unbirthday Party.

Orrin as a Queen's guardsman.






They both did an amazing job.

Andrea v0lunteered as the music director for the show and had the most fun of all!
