In the beginning of December we went to Florida to the place where all your dreams come true. Yes, we went to Disney World. I have to admit, having never before experienced the magic of Disney world or Disneyland I was a little apprehensive about how a week in Disney World was going to be with all those people and lines. I have to say that it was a very magical week. The only lines we really had to stand in were the ones to meet the characters. It was totally worth it to see the excitement in Grace and Sofi's face when they got to meet their favorite princesses and fairies. We had so much fun!!
Tinkerbell is Grace's favorite Disney character. The line to meet her was the longest line we stood in. I guess it takes a bit more time because they had to shrink us down to fairy size. That's about 5 inches. They think of everything! It was amazing! Okay, I really wanted to meet Tinkerbell too.And we met our favorite princesses. . .

Sleeping Beauty is Sofi's favorite princess.
She loves her pink, flowing gown. Sofi was Sleeping Beauty for Halloween
This is down the main street at magical Kingdom. Christmas was the perfect time to go because everything was decorated and lit up with Christmas lights. It just made it even more magical.

I think Sofi has become a Minnie Mouse fan since we went to Disney Land and she met her.
These next few pictures are at Sea World. We couldn't go all the way to Florida and not go to Sea World!. . . Military members and their family get in free so that helps too!
These dolphins were coming right up to us and they would let us pet them. They really are amazing creatures!
This is the Shamu show"Believe". Grace really wanted to get wet so we sat at the top of the "wet" section hoping to get just a little wet. When the time finally came where the biggest orca splashes with his big fin, I was so glad that we didn't sit near the bottom because the people that were sitting there got completely soaked. We just barely got a mist. Getting soaked in salt water just did not sound fun to me. Grace was a little sad that she didn't get really wet but she forgot pretty fast because the whole show was so neat.

You can get an idea of how big this tree is by the size of the ornaments.
