More Disney

The next day we went to Animal Kingdom.

The tree of life in the middle of Animal Kingdom.

We went to see the 3D Bug movie right when we walked in.

Our first glance of Everest - the big roller coaster at the park.

We met the rest of the family at Dino Land. Elizabeth went on the Triceratops Roller coaster with Tom, but unfortunately Ben wasn't tall enough so we rode some other rides.

Jackson didn't really want to ride anything so he just hung out looking cute! :)

There's a big playground area in dinoland that the kids had a blast in!

We had reservations at the Tusker House for lunch. After a very long wait we had a good lunch and got to see a few different characters.

Next we went on the safari ride. I love it - it's so much fun seeing all the animals pretty close up!

See - close!

At the end of the day we waited for the parade while enjoying a some snacks.

I had to have a picture of Jackson - he couldn't quit waving - he was so excited to see Mickey!

Here are a few pictures from the next day. We were at Hollywood studios waiting in line for our favorite Toy Story ride.

Man we all look cool with our 3D glasses!

We ran into Jake after the ride.

One more day of pictures left!

Disney Day 3 - Ben's Birthday!

Good morning 6 year old boy!

He woke up to balloons and streamers in the room - I think it got him in a little bit of a festive mood to start our day :)

Grandma found these Mickey Mouse party hats that the kids wore during our character breakfast that morning.

Before we went to breakfast Ben opened just a few of his presents - he got some glow bracelets and balloon boppers that he could share with his cousins and Elizabeth.

The big kids at breakfast.

Ben's plate full of yummy goodness for breakfast.

Ha - I never realized how much it looks like Pooh is strangling Ben! He was really just being pretty goofy with the kids.

Tigger

Mary Poppins

Alice in Wonderland

The Mad Hatter

Ben got a cake delivered to the table - he was pretty excited! We didn't even end up eating it because we had so many sweets for breakfast.

After breakfast we headed to Magic Kingdom.

We ate lunch at the gorgeous new Beauty and the Beast castle.

It was so beautiful! The pictures don't do it justice.

They brought out the food in these fun food carts.

Ben got a cupcake for dessert.

Through the windows it was even raining.

Beauty and the Beast was one of my favorite Disney movies so it was so neat to actually be in the castle. This was the beast's room. All ripped, dark, and creepy. So cool.
