Miles walked-8.8

The walk into the Magic Kingdom

 img_2345

Our fast pass to the Snow White ride wasn’t active yet so we headed over to Dumbo.  Mom said we had to ride it since the last time we went to LA it was being worked on .

img_2346 img_2347

We saw the evil step sisters but they took a break before we got to take a picture.  While we waited in lines Mom had pipe cleaners for us to play with.

Then the fairy god mother came out!

img_2357 img_2358

We had a fast pass to see Tiana and Rapunzel.  Most of the princesses signed Autumn’s cast

img_2362 img_2364 img_2367 img_2368

Can you pull the sword from the stone?

img_2375 img_2377 img_2381

We also went on It’s a Small World.  That was a ride that wasn’t working in LA.  Look, they said goodbye to us!

Rapunzel’s tower

There was a parade as we were walking to Tommorowland.

img_2384 img_2386 img_2387 img_2389 img_2390 img_2391 img_2394 img_2396

This was from the Enchanted Stories with Belle.  We got to be a character in the story.

img_2399 img_2401 img_2402 img_2403 img_2406

Tinkerbell!

img_2407 img_2409 img_2410

This was the Fantasyland Parade.  So many princesses in one place!

Dad took our picture in front of the castle.  Can you see us?

Miles walked-7.4

For Fall break we headed out to Orlando!  We got to the hotel kinda late so we just got unpacked and relaxed.  Our first park was Universal Studios.  This was where Mom really wanted to go.  She wanted to see the Harry Potter parks.  We started at the Universal Studio’s park and headed straight to King’s Cross.  The train ride was socool!

img_2271 img_2276  img_2275

Just a quick pic at Honeydukes!

img_2277

Then we headed to Ollivanders.  So many wands!  Autumn and I got to pick a magic wand.  I got a Hermione wand and Autumn picked her birthday wand.

img_2279 img_2280

Broomsticks in the store

img_2281

We had to have a butterbeer.  We all shared a frozen one-it was yummy

img_2291 img_2288

We weren’t able to go on the castle ride because Autumn wasn’t quite tall enough.  Mom says we’ll go next time.

img_2285

Practicing our spells along the way.

img_2283

Then we headed to Seuss Landing

img_2293 

Thing 1 and Thing 2 with the Cat in the Hat!

 img_2295

Grinch

img_2299

And a ride on a crazy merry-go-round

img_2300 img_2301

Autumn skipped this ride because there was a chance she could get wet.  She didn’t want her cast to get wet.

img_2308 img_2312

We didn’t do much more at this park.  The other parts didn’t really interest us.  So we headed back to Diagon Alley.  

img_2314 img_2316

We chatted with the Knight Bus driver.

img_2317 img_2318 img_2321

This part was much more crowded and harder to practice our spells.  We had ice cream from Florean Fortescue’s Ice cream parlour and saw the dragon breathe fire.  The line for the Escape from Gringotts line was really long so we went to explore other areas.

img_2322 img_2323

We ran into a daytime parade.

img_2324 img_2326 img_2327 img_2329 img_2331 img_2332

And Megatron!

img_2334

A ride in the Simpson’s area and a “police” picture for Matt!

  img_9586 img_9590

The minion ride was lots of fun too!

img_9592

As we headed out of the park we took a picture at the sign and rode a wave in front of a store.

Mommy headed off to Chicago to watch Allie run in the marathon.  We stayed home with Daddy.  The day they flew out was the 1st game of the division series with the Giants and the Cubs.  Mommy, Diane, Allie, and Kevin went to the game.  First they started with dinner.  Did you know in Chicago they don’t put ketchup on their hot dogs?

img_9400 img_9403 img_9404 img_9408 img_9412 img_9413

They went on a Hop On, Hop Off bus tour of the city.

img_9415 img_9416

They hopped off at Navy Pier.

img_9418

This was everyone trying to decide what pizza to order.

img_9419

They ordered the pizza and went for a walk.

img_9423 img_9425 img_9427

A Chicago deep dish, thin crust and caramel/cheese popcorn.

img_9429 img_9431 img_9433 img_9434

Some more sights from the tour.

Here was the chili dog Kevin tried.

Finally, marathon day!  Here comes Allie!
