Epcot

And....the stomach bug continues. It hit me on Thursday morning. I felt pretty awful when we woke up. We had breakfast reservations at Chef Mickey's (another one we've really been wanting to go to!) at 11, so we just kind of hung out until then. By the time we left, I wasn't feeling great, but was able to go!

Sweet boy in his Mickey and "Culo" shirt.





Finally getting to meet Mimmie!!


Levi loved her too!


So I'm sure you can tell how bad I felt....I'm dressed equally as bad. Haha! It was also cold this day so I had to wear layers!


Chloe got a little scared of Tuto!


This outfit is very special because her Daddy got it for her! I had been eyeballing this outfit on ebay and he bought it for her! This was Feb 13th, so I thought it would be fitting to have a Minnie and Mickey Valentine outfit! I buy a lot of Chloe's clothes online so when it came in the mail, I just packed it away in the drawer with the Disney stuff. Well, later I saw a message in our ebay account where Trent was asking the seller why he hadn't received it! Hahaha! I didn't remember ordering it, but when it came I thought "well...I guess I did order it!?!" So sweet of him to surprise her with a special outfit!


Following the characters around and dancing around the tables!


Levi was so excited to meet all of them!!


And here's Chloe hiding from Donald... haha.


The star of the show!! And excellent chef I must say! The food looked AMAZING here! I didn't eat any of it, I'm not much of a big breakfast eater and I felt like poo. But Trent was in heaven!


What a good lookin crew!


Goofy!!!!





Then we headed over to Epcot. I got to do the Test Track with Levi. It was SO right up his alley. Designing your own race car, then a race car roller coaster!


There's a show room at the end, and he wanted his picture taken with EVERY car!









I eventually went and got Daddy and Chloe because I knew Dad would love the show room too.


And that's all from Epcot. Haha! I obviously didn't feel like taking pics.


Later that evening we headed back to Magic Kingdom to see the Electrical Parade.


Again one of Chloe's faves! She loved all the parades!





It was REALLY chilly that night so we headed in early.


The next morning we went to take pictures all around the hotel. I just love the Art of Animation





Levi was SOOOO excited to see Radiator Springs again! He was running around yelling "I love you I love you I love you!" to all the cars. Haha...Priceless.

YouTube Video













Um....excuse me? But the star of the show is missing? I guess he needed some more Rusteez Medicated Bumper Ointment?

















We had to walk through the Serengeti Plain to get to our room. Every time we went through there Chloe would yell "Nimba!!!!"


Then of course we would sing Hakuna Matata.





"That's not a dinglehopper!!!!" Levi would say that ever time we passed the fork. :)








They were a little scared of Ursula at first, which is where our room was. So when I joked that she had a big hiney....Levi laughed hysterically and then said it each time we passed her.





Stickering himself up with some stickers one of the magical employees gave him.


We were running late so we didn't make it around to take a picture of Ariel, Flounder and Sebastian.


King Triton!


And we waited FOREVER on our stroller when we picked up our bags.


These hooligans were everywhere!


I will never fail to thank God for the fact that we are able to go on trips like this. Making memories with these 2 is what our life is all about. We will go back again and again and again because it's something we love to do with them!!

Magic Kingdom!!

Well since our little sweetie was running a fever and had been throwing up, I decided to take her to the doctor. I didn't want to run the risk of us having the flu or an ear infection. I got up so that we could get a cab and be waiting when the office opened. It still took us a while, but we were back at Magic Kingdom in time for an 11:00 parade. She tested negative for flu and did not have an ear infection. Boo for a wasted trip to the doc, but I would have worried sick if I hadn't taken her! Just a yucky old virus I guess.




Levi and Daddy went ahead and went to the park and I'm SOOO glad they did! It wasn't crowded at all and they got to ride a TON of stuff!! They also got to meet Buzz Lightyear!!!





February is supposed to be a "slow time" at Disney World, so not all of the shows and parades were showing. But there was still plenty to impress us!


















Of course this one was a fave!


The Happiest place on earth with my 3 absolute favorite people in the world!


Haha...I love this. A little mesmerized by Mickey and the princesses dancing at the castle.


So one of the main reason I was HUSTLING to get back from the doctor was that we had managed to get a fast pass test pass to Be Our Guest. It's a fairly new restaurant (it was brand new when we were there last January.) Of course it's supposed to be just like Belle's castle and I've been DYING to go in it! You can always eat lunch there without reservations, but the line is always HOURS long! And dinner reservations....forget about it. We were told they're booked out for 6 months. I guess they are currently testing to see if fast pass plus will help with the lunch. It was so easy! We preordered our meals on the app and only waited about 10 minutes.


Levi showing off his magic band for Gaston.


The kids were both a little creeped out by the castle guards.








Photo by Levi...


It's SO beautiful inside!!


And the food MAGICALLY appears at your table. Like we walked in and picked our own seats without anyone knowing where we'd gone and minutes later our food showed up at our table. Disney people are good though....they do NOT reveal secrets!! The only answer you'll get is... "it's magic!"


Then I got to have some fun on the big kid rides with Levi!





Chloe did really good considering what she'd been through. We just had to keep motrin in her and she held up really well!





I'm SO proud of Levi and all the rides he rode! This was after we'd done the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. It's pretty legit. Daddy taught him he needs to hold his hands up on roller coasters so he'd do his best to hold them up, and hold the rails with his elbows! Haha! I asked him if he had fun and he said "yes! It was just a lil bit scary." So sweet!


We did more character meet and greets than we've done before because the lines weren't so bad. I figure they next we go we'll have to do all the princesses.


They were pumped about Woody and Jessie!


It POURED rain shortly after Woody and Jessie. It's Florida though, you should expect that at least once. I was prepared. We put our ponchos on, covered the stroller and kept going! Everyone else went home, even better! Ha! It only rained hard for a bit, then it just sprinkled on and off. One thing I don't have pictures of is the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Factory. It was a first for us and it was so funny! Chloe and I even made it into the show as a "two headed monster" since she was sitting in my lap.

We got held up in the Buzz Lightyear ride so Trent was REAL proud of his score!


We're still the coolest Chloe says!





We had dinner at the Crystal Palace with Pooh and Friends. Chloe LOOOOOVED Piglet, but was scared of the rest?


Levi loved them all!








After dinner we got to ride a ton more! Peter Pan always has a RIDICULOUS wait! We walked right on.

I was super pumped to ride The Little Mermaid of course!


Chloe playing her instrument! You know that song is how this got started!





They LOVED It's A Small World! Levi asked MILLIONS of questions and they thought they were so brave with their hands up. hahahaha!


Chloe wanted to climb out of the boat of course. :)





Chloe was starting to feel better and we had a fabulous day! We had planned on doing 2 days at Magic Kingdom, but we got to do SOOOOO much that we decided to go on to Epcot the next day.
