Magic Kingdom

When one person mentions they are going somewhere and puts the invitation for everyone to join, we all hop on board. We were so thrilled when Chris and Lisa decided to go to Disney World. It didn't take much convincing for us to figure out a way to be there too. We knew we wanted to go some day and what better time to go than with cousins, aunts and uncles and grandparents. Everyone helped out everyone.
When we purchased our plane tickets, we called Scott's sister Amy to see if she wanted on the same flight. Thank goodness she was there, she was a lot of help with bags and kids. We flew into Daytona Beach and rented a car. We had an expired free upgrade coupon that we thought we'd try and use. The lady helping Scott was nice enough to not even look at the expiration date and gave us a mini van. It worked out perfect. Two kids, three adults, luggage, stroller and car seats take up a lot of room and we were grateful to have the extra space.
We drove the 75 mins to the hotel and were greeted by excited cousins and aunts and uncles. It was so much fun watching all the cousins embrace each other as they have not been together for several months. EVERYONE was picking up EVERYONE!
Scott's parents and brother, Mike got there a little after us and the party officially began. Scott's youngest brother is on his mission and was the only Walton not there.
Monday was up early to head to Magic Kingdom. It always takes a little longer than you expect when you are dealing with 20 people. But, we got there in good time and spent the ENTIRE day at the park. It was so magical to be there and see Molly's excitement.

We had just entered Magic Kingdom.......so much excitement already, she could hardly contain herself

Just to show it didn't stop all day, the pointing and oohing and awing.

Swiss Family Robinson Tree House


I can show you the world..... Magic Carpet Ride


Scott LOVED the tea cups and it put Fos to sleep


All the cousins and Princess Jasmine. The princesses all did such a great job at acting the part. It was fun for Molly to see all of them.




I can't remember what she just noticed, but here we are at the main street parade. It was a great way to see all the characters and princesses. Molly loved it!


Truly truly a magical kingdom


We got a few pictures of the cousins together!


Dad and Fos on the carousel


Another one of Molly's favorites.

A few of the cousins in the posing Dumbo display. Great way to get a shot without them being blurry.
Cousin Megan and Molly......too cute!
