Day three and four were spent in Magic Kingdom and Epcot. The weather was gorgeous (high 70's) nearly the entire time we were there, but the day we were in Epcot, the weather was overcast and chilly. It was forecasted to be in the 70's and sunny, so we didn't bring jackets with us...big mistake!
One of the highlights of the vacation was seeing Merida from the movie Brave. She was a lot of fun and spent a little extra time with the girls, they just loved her!
Right after meeting Merida, the kids were given the opportunity to shoot an arrow at a target. Both girls wanted to try.
We had a character lunch reservation scheduled at the Crystal Palace (in Magic Kingdom) which is the home to Winnie the Pooh and friends. Each character came to the table for hugs, autographs and pictures. Both girls love the Winnie the Pooh characters, so they enjoyed this meal quite a bit.
Although I was the official photographer of the vacation, James would always pull his camera out while the characters were around. Most of the time the girls would look his way (maybe because he can be LOUD) which is why they rarely looked in my direction. Sigh...
Paloma is in a really picky phase right now, so when she managed to eat almost all of her lunch, I had to snap a picture. :)
D*mn that James ruining my picture again! I guarantee most of his are out of focus! :)
We caught a parade right after lunch, unfortunately most of my pictures of the parade were a little blurry.
Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. Paloma was afraid of him at first, but towards the end of the encounter, didn't want to leave his side. Just stared up at him and wouldn't move. I thought I had a picture of it, but discovered I didn't. :(
The entrance to our resort pool. We left MK a little early so that we could go swimming. The water was warm, but the night air was cool. James and I didn't go in the water, but the girls didn't seem to be bothered at all. Probably their only complaint regarding the vacation would be we didn't swim as much as they would have liked. No matter how cool it got, you would always see people swimming in the pool.
These pictures are inside the counter service restaurant in our resort.

This is the day we were in Epcot. I didn't bring our jackets and it turned out to be a very chilly day. We were in the World Showcase and couldn't find a store that sold a generic kids sweatshirt, but we did manage to find a couple of blankets.
A BIG, BIG moment for the girls. They LOVE Mary Poppins. We showed up just as she was leaving for her break. Since we were the first in line, we decided to sit and wait the 20 minutes for her. I think because she knew we waited for her, she spent a little extra time with the girls which made them so happy.
One of my favorite pictures, too bad I cut off part of the umbrella.
She and Milan jumping into a pretend chalk picture (just like the movie).
Ahhh...made it out of the World Showcase and finally found a couple of cute sweatshirts!
After dinner in Mexico, the girls pretty much passed out, so James and I decided to walk through the World Showcase again, as the first time was spent finding/waiting for the characters.
