"The magic is as wide as a smile and as narrow as a wink, loud as laughter and quiet as a tear, tall as a tale and deep as emotion. So strong, it can lift the spirit. So gentle, it can touch the heart. It is the magic that begins the happily ever after." --Disney Imagineer

Last week we went on a little family vacation to Disney World! We've been planning on doing something fun after Mark's deployment and have talked about it pretty much before he even left. We just decided to put it off til February instead of December, little less busy and a bit more warm :) and it was WARM! The last two days it was in the mid/upper 80's and was so hot! Well compared to what we've been used to. :) It wasn't too bad though but I don't think I ever want to go in the summer time if it's in the 80's in February! :)

Anywho.....we drove down to Florida on Monday, checked in our hotel and got ready for our four day adventure at the parks! I'm gonna have to split it all up into more than one post though cuz I have SO MANY PICTURES! Which of course, is not surprising from me at all....so enjoy! I think I'll just go through it all with pictures and talk about Evelyn's cuteness and how much fun she had along the way :)

The first day we went to Hollywood Studios (for most of the day, later afternoon we went to EPCOT). The first thing we did there was go see Buzz and Woody! The line was a little long but they had these cute picture set ups from the movies while you waited so here's a few of Evelyn and Mark.

In Andy's room! :) 

oooooo.....

Stinky Pete!

Finally Buzz and Woody! She was a little scared of them so Mark had to go up with her :)

this was waiting in line for Phineas and Ferb, they had songs from the show playing and Evelyn was dancing up a storm, so funny!

Yay! Phineas and Ferb!

One of my favorite cartoons right now :) Evelyn was a little scared of them too...I think the costumes kinda freak her out :) so much bigger than what she sees on tv! 

Beauty and the Beast show! They did a pretty good job with this one!


Evelyn really enjoyed it, she loves the princesses!

Mickey's hat!

being silly at lunch! We ate at Mama's Italian restaurant and it was soooooooo good!

giving daddy a kiss :)

The Pixar Parade!

Evelyn really enjoyed this as you can tell, she knows pretty much all the Pixar characters! and they weren't  up close so she could enjoy the "scary costumes" from afar :)


I think this was my favorite! So cute! Love UP! 

Jessie and Bullseye! Unfortunately we never got around to meeting Jessie :( 


waiting in line for Toy Story Mania! Such a fun ride! 

Japanese drummers at EPCOT, pretty cool!

Mark chowing down on a turkey leg...

I helped him out a bit :)

Fireworks!

Evelyn definitely wasn't a fan of the fireworks so we only saw this show at EPCOT 
It was a long first day (we took the shuttle from our hotel and they didn't clarify the times they picked up so we had to wait til 10:00 for it to pick us up...and we were ready to go at 7! So we stayed for the fireworks and drove the next 3 days :) but it was a lot of fun! It was a good park to start our adventure off at, not too busy, not too rushed to do all we wanted, good characters, and good food! So I'm off to bed now, I'll try to get around to another one tomorrow. :)

I am so glad you got to take a family vacation. Evelyn looks more grown-up in every picture and she's as cute as can be.
