Disney 2013
Well, we finally decided to take Celie (and the boys) down to Disney. I really don't think she was the perfect age, but what is the perfect age for Disney? I think you could go every couple of years and have fun and do different things. I wanted to take her before her love for all things princess ended and all she cared about was Spider man and boys things. Chris is the one that wanted to take the boys too. I mean I wanted to, but I wanted to focus everything on princesses and characters and girly things. So, mom went with us and Kriya, Beau, Wade and Bree went as well and the girls got to go do their thing, while the boys go to go do boys things. We met up and did some stuff together and the kids really did have a blast.
Celie "trying" to fall asleep before her first day at the parks. It was like Christmas Eve for them, they did not want to go to sleep, but deep down I knew how this would all backfire. Go to bed super late, wake up super early and go, go, go all day. Crash and burn would come sooner or later.
Check out the time on the clock and the boys don't even look tired! Mason and Buie shared a room with mom, while Celie, Chris and I shared a room (Aunt Rachelle bunked with us a couple of nights).
Magic Kingdom
Celie on her way to eat breakfast with the princesses.
(We need to work on that smile)
She was so excite, but I think mom and I were more excited than she was. Maybe because we knew how special this was . Hopefully Celie will remember this one day.
She LOVES the castle!
Too bad the crane is is most of the picture, but I at least took it out of a few.
So glad Kriya and Bree got to join us on this adventure.
I could hardly hold her back. She had wedding Cinderella dress on with her light up glass slippers and her light up wand. What else could a princess need?
I'd say she was in heaven right here. Too bad we started it off like this, because it was hard to hold up to these standards the rest of the trip. She kept asking if we could go back and eat each meal with the princesses. Why not?
On her way up the stairs to breakfast.
Bree was a little nervous of Ariel.
But not Celie. She gave every princes a hug and check out her hand!
Aurora
A hug with a hand on the boob!
A huge hug for our favorite princess, Snow White.
Another hug with a hand.....yep.
Jasmine
Sorry, Bree, but had to get her hug and hand on the boob in.
Not sure what this was all about, but she did it to every princess.
(Maybe making sure they were real?)
OK, so who knows who this ugly woman is? Oh Celie did. She was pointing at Celie for having no shoes on (beacuse her plastic jelly slippers were hurting her feet and daddy was not there yet)so she went running away.
Not so fast! Celie wanted to put on her shoes so she would talk to her. So she and Lady Tremaine (Cinderella's wicked step mother) could go on a walk.
Celie and Granny
Buie, Daddy and Granny on the Peter Pan ride.
Ariel's new ride in Fantasyland.

She loved this ride
Ms Kriya taking a picture of something, but Bree was the super cute part of this shot riding Dumbo.
Beau and Wade
Buie and Daddy
Mason and I were killing everything!
Chris is pretty serious here. Not sure what Celie was looking at.
Mom and Buie shooting the bad guys.
This is where, at some point during the trip, they all belonged in here with Zurg.
Kriya, Buie and Wade riding Thunder Mountain Railroad.
Peter Pan!
I think this is Suzy from Cinderella??
Of course we love the Beast!
Our only shot in front of the castle.
Are we bright enough for you? Wanted to make sure we could be seen in a crowd!
Bree and Celie got to dance with Pluto, Goofy and Stitch at a dance party.
Epcot
Not sure where Buie was....probably off chasing Wade.
Look who we found! Aunt Rachelle met up with us after her dancers were finished performing.
Celie and Bree getting eaten by Bruce!
Wade, Beau, Granny and Buie about to go Sorin! Awesome ride.
Hollywood Studios
Chip and Dale (with the red nose)
Not sure what happened to my pictures, but my only shot of Minnie Mouse.
Chris taking the boys on the greatest ride at Disney. Toy Story Mania!
Mason and Celie with Pluto
Celie wanted to get her face painted after she saw what the boys did.
She looks asleep, but I have never seen her sit so still in my life. Maybe I should paint her face everyday!
Some form of Darth Maul and Buzz Lightyear
Can you see Buie's face? Darth Maul was awesome and for some reason he loved Buie, but Buie did not want to participate in the Jedi training.
But Mason did and he got to fight Darth Maul, which I heard from a worker that that is super rare and that he hadn't even been at Disney for the last couple of weeks and when he is that he rarely makes appearances. So cool!
I mean he was awesome and now Buie wants to be him for Halloween.
Wade got to fight Darth Vader.
Look how tiny he looks! Or Darth Vader could just be really BIG!
Who are these children?
Celie was very lucky to have 2 of her 3 Godparents with her at Disney. We missed you Miss Amanda!
She is very happy to be in front of Gaston's statue! Who else would love him, but Celie!
Goodbye Castle
Thank goodness we had Aunt Rachelle, because Buie finally got to tired to walk ( had not complained the entire trip) and she offered to give him a piggy back ride to the bus, while Chris and Mason stayed to ride a few more rides.
Well.......poor Aunt Rachelle! Buie went night night on her back and he is a cool 56lbs!
We stayed at the new Art of Animation hotel and it is split up into sections (Lion King, Cars, Little Mermaid and Nemo) and the into different buildings and perfectly we were in Ursula's building. Again, who else loves a villain like Celie Crawford does? It's hard to tell in this picture, but Ursula is at least 4 stories tall, she was awesome. What a fun hotel it was for the kids!
Done and Done!
Sweet dreams princess! I hope you had fun!
