For Thanksgiving Mike and I had the opportunity to go to Disney World with his family. It was a fun break for the both of us. It took me forever, but here are some pictures from our trip. Above is Stephanie and me after we got off the plane and getting ready to get on the Walt Disney Express that took us to the hotel. We were just a little excited :)
"Stephanie! She has four fingers! Get a picture with her!" A lady pointing us in the right direction. Mike went a little picture happy from the very beginning.
On the bus! We're almost there!
Jay, Jenn, and Elise...on our way to dinner
Opening presents...Kate and Elle
Animal Kingdom! Elise and Rafiki :)
Going into the bug's 3D show...Jay and Elise sporting their glasses
TOWER OF TERROR!
Mike's nieces (Kate and Elise) went on this for the first time. After watching the intro video Kate asked "Daddy, are we going to become ghosts?" kinda cute I thought :)
Kate on the ride...at the end she got off and said, "I'm still here! I didn't turn into a ghost!" :) Sweet girl :)
Toy Story ride...way fun! We got to shoot things! :) Pictured: Angela with baby Parker and Stephanie

POOH!! (With Kate [left] and Emily [right])
A pretty Christmas tree
This was an interactive show where they involved the audience. The man infront of Mike was the guy who was suppose to be dancing, but he wasn't do that great of a job, sooo Mike took it upon himself to "get down without getting up" as the monster told us and the camera moved to him :) Good job hon! ;)
Buzz Lightyear to the rescue! Or just before we got on the ride :)
Mike...as stitch=SCARY!!
Jenn and I before going on Space Mountain I believe
After breakfast at Chef Mickey's, the girls in their princess dresses walking with Uncle Jay.

Watching Beauty and the Beast...I love this show! :)

A big dog's nose in Honey I Shrunk the Audience playground. Kate was actually scared and was so cute with her scared face, so I made one too for the picture. Who knew she could fight through fright so well to have such a winning smile?
The Osborn's decorated two streets of Disney World that went to music...it was amazing and had over 5 billion lights! Wow!
Watching the lights with Emily
Mike with Emily
We saw Captain Jack Sparrow!
I was mimicking the little girls when they do their princess pose...and that was the tinniest little pair of Mickey Ears I have ever seen!
Cool masks a guy was carving
I like that you can only see one of my eyes...freaky!
Snow White with Emily...she was a very nice princess who sounded just like the movie!
The Hat
Emily, Elle, and Kate with their look-a-like Aurora
We got stuck on Fast Track on the slanted part which was highly uncomfortable. Then when the ride started going again, the car behind us started before we did, and it was going FAST, so we thought we were going to die(that was after we took this picture). Needless to say, we're still here thank goodness :)
Stephanie and I decided that if we ever go again we'll have to make our own princess dresses to wear with the little girls...we couldn't find any dresses big enough for us :(
Rockin Roller Coaster...this was probably one of my favorite rides, I loved it!
Watching the pre-show for the backstage tour.
"May the force be with you yound Michael"
We even got to play on these! Fun stuff!
Rob and Tamar's desert one evening. Can you say extreme s'more?
Riding in the teacups with Justin. We went fast! :)
Dance party with some of the characters.
Buzz Lightyear with Mike's Mom.
Same ride with Ryan...these two were so competitive!
We got snatched from the ride and put in jail!! (not really, don't worry)
And finally, Space Mountain, another of one of my favorite rides. It was all just too much fun and it was hard for Mike and I to come back to reality of school and work. Thanks for enduring all the pictures! Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! :)
