Disney World Delight


This year our annual trip to Florida fell early in December, just in time to celebrate a bit of the holiday season with some sunshine! As the temperature plummoted below 20 in Tacoma, we were blessed with over 80 degree weather in Orlando. Soon after our arrival we ventured to Magic Kingdom. Our time was filled with rides, climbing in tree houses, meeting a handful of princesses, dancing in the street parade, eating ice cream and watching the night time lighting of Cinderella's castle.

As a 3 1/2 year old you can never get enough princess magic, especially if your name is Grace. She had been asking about seeing Snow White for several days (out of nowhere as she has never seen the the movie). She was excited to see her when we entered the princess fairytale hall. She conversed with Rapunzel and Ariel as well. We visited Beast's castle from Beauty and the Beast as she was picked to play "Chip" the small teacup in the reenactment of the movie by all the kids. She then got to see Belle.

The best part of the day (if you ask mom) was actually at night when they lit the castle. The Disney characters and the Fairy Godmother invite Cinderella out and with some magic "Bippity Boppity Boo" action the castle lights up. An amazing sight if you ask me.  Can't wait to visit again next year.
