Parades, cars, and Dumbo

Next it was time to shake things up, or at least spin them around a little on the teacups...

And in spite of all the entertainment options that this trip provided, our kids probably had the most fun just playing with each other...

Sometimes it's not so fun for all of them...

The line for Dumbo now features a playground where your kids can romp and stomp while you wait for your restaurant style pager to go off calling you to the ride.  Great idea, huh?  There was not much of a line and our kids weren't really that interested in the ride, but they did immensely enjoy that playground...

I think Stella could have played there all day...

Watts, too...

He was so happy to be out of the stroller/backpack!

Ladies and gentlemen, introducing the eighth wonder of the world: Stella, the flying girl!

After the playground we raced over to the light parade...

Not sure who she is, but she sure is fancy...

Rewind the pics...earlier in the day we caught the Mainstreet USA Celebrate Parade...

Where we got a high five from Abu...

And a hook five from Captain Hook...

It was all too much for Cille...

We also let Stella try her hand at race-car driving with hilarious results...

I am not sure if my mother-in-law has ever laughed so hard in her life...

We had a great final day in the Magic Kingdom, and there's more magic to come!  Our next post features a very special date...

Stella and the Sweethearts

Friday...our last day in the parks! What better place to end our adventure than the Magic Kingdom?  Since Stella still had not gotten any facetime with Rapunzel, Daddy took one for the team and waited in the Princess line so his little princess could see some of her favorite characters.  When it was finally her turn, she was a little shy...

That's how Daddy ended up in most of the pictures...

Stella claims that Aurora is her favorite princess...

For the record, Stella had a supercute jacket that went with this ensemble, but by the time we made it to the princesses she had lost the jacket and looked like a hobo.  Oh well, c'est la vie...

More princess pics to come later from the photo pass, but first let's visit the Tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki Room...

In spite of our smiling faces and the catchiness of that song, the Tiki Room is actually pretty creepy...

Soooo, back to the princess line!

The big prince came to see the little prince, who was napping and could not be bothered...

I love this one...that Cinderella works hard for her money...

Stella received Valentine's cards from all the guys, and they have resurfaced in our home many times since our trip...
