Disney World Vacation - Part 1




First day on the road stopping for lunch at Cracker Barrel 

Last month we spent the week after Thanksgiving in Disney World!  We decided to drive down (which really turned out not to be very difficult, even with two young girls).  We left the day after Thanksgiving, spent the first night in South Carolina and then the next night in Orlando.  Very early the next morning, we checked into our resort hotel, Port Orleans French Quarter, picked up our park tickets and caught a bus to Disney Hollywood Studios.  Our second full day at Disney was spent in Downtown Disney and Epcot.  These pictures cover our first two days in Disney.  :)
  

First night in a hotel somewhere in South Carolina 


Character breakfast at Disney Hollywood Studios with Disney Jr. characters.  The girls were beyond excited! 


One of their current favorite characters - Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates. 





We saw the Beauty and the Beast Live show.  A twenty minute musical which was just awesome.  The girls have since named Belle as their favorite princess. 


 The Osborne FamilySpectacle of Lights...a city block in DHS, completely covered in Christmas lights.  So magical to walk through, especially with snow falling down on you.  The girls jumped out of their strollers and twirled to the music, trying to catch snowflakes on their tongues.





 Our second day - this picture was taken in our hotel lobby.  


 Taken on the grounds of our resort, a New Orleans themed resort.








We made an appointment for Milan (Paloma was too young) at the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique, where she was treated to a princess makeover.  She loved all of the special treatment given to her by her very own "Fairy Godmother".  Out of all of the hairstyle choices, Milan chose the craziest. 














 We rushed back to the hotel to change Paloma into her princess dress and catch a bus to Epcot for our princess dinner.  The girls were in complete awe of the princesses.  Each one came to our table, met the girls, signed autograph books, and posed for pictures.
