Let the Magic Begin

We have been tossing around the idea of Disney passes for a while and finally decided the time was right.  We surprised the kids the week before Thanksgiving with an announcement of we are about to get in the car and go to Disney!

[Insert shrieks and joyous laughter here.  Along with one pouter who wanted to go back to the science museum and didn't seem to understand the enthusiasm of his older siblings.  But that's life when you're 4, I guess.  Oh well.  He has seemed happy with the decision since then.  Grin.]

We went to Magic Kingdom that day.  And then explored Epcot the week of Thanksgiving.  

This week we ventured to Hollywood Studios and made a whole day of it.  It was such fun!  

Lieren loved all the princess shows: Anna and Elsa, Belle, and Ariel.

We rode the rides.  The boys did this Star Tours one twice they liked it so much.

And we met some characters.
 Kylo Ren made the boys a bit nervous...ha!

But the highlight of the day was Jedi Training for the older 3 kids.  Blaise was old enough but didn't want to take part, which was totally fine.  He sat with us and watched and was totally into it from the sidelines.  Blaise is also not a lover of meeting characters if you can't tell.

The whole Jedi Training thing was so well done and super fun for the kids and super cute for us watching.  Loved it.

We ended the day with their Christmas fireworks then the Fantasmic! show.  We were exhausted but I certainly left feeling grateful for such a fun day together.


Here's to a year of magical adventures together!
