summer vacay - part two - florida.

After a week stay in the Great Smoky Mountains, we loaded back up into the van and while everyone else departed back to their homes we were only part of the way done with our journey.  We were on our way to Florida.  This day of driving was the longest day of driving ever, probably too long for our little family, but we pushed through.  We left about 7:45am and arrived about 9:30pm in The Villages, Florida...long day.
Thus started our next adventure - 3 days at Walt Disney World and 2 days in The Villages.

Off to Disney!
We stayed on grounds at the All Star Sports Resort.
We did an evening at Downtown Disney, one day was a morning of Magic Kingdom (breakfast with the princesses) and afternoon at Hollywood Studios, the next day was a full day of the Magic Kingdom.
Our sweet girls ready for some magic. :)  This is Andie's first trip and Quinn's second.

Each picking out a Disney souvenir.

Princess Aurora (aka - Sleeping Beauty) - Quinn's FAVORITE.  And in all our dancing Quinn will say that Sleeping Beauty danced with her the longest!  and she did. :)

Quinn's reaction with Elsa was just priceless and it's my favorite part of the dance video.

It rained on us a little the morning of the first day, but we will take that.  We got lucky and the first day was almost a record low temp for Florida in August.  Our second day was hot but not horrible, it was just a really busy crowd that day.

Disney Highlights:

Quinn's Favorite Princesses - Princess Aurora and Princess Elsa

Quinn's Favorite Ride - Seven Dwarfs Mine Train (Splash Mountain was second choice)

Quinn's Favorite Show - Disney Junior Show

Andie's Favorite Characters - Mickey and Princess Ana

Andie's Favorite Ride - Ariel's Undersea Adventure

Andie's Favorite Show - Fantasmic

We took Quinn when she was two and we loved that, taking her at age 4 was so much fun.  Each trip at different ages is so different and wonderful.

Andie was fantastic at Disney, she is a trooper and she was a little princess. :)

We rented a double stroller that we had delivered to our resort, it worked out perfectly and provided lots of shade and both girls took naps in it too.

After 3 nights at Disney, we headed up to Grandpa and Grandma's in the Villages.

Quinn was able to participate in one of the Camp Villages activities - Decorating Cupcakes.

She was very precise and thoughtful in her decorating, I think we may have a future baker.

Time at the pool.

Thank you so much to Grandpa and Grandma for our time with them in Florida and our amazing days at Disney World!

I've already posted this, but I'll post it again so it's with our Disney portion - Our Disney Dance video!
All of the princesses and characters that joined the fun and danced with us. :)
