Disney World Vacation!!!

We had such an amazing time on our Disney World vacation. Rob and I weren't sure what to expect from a vacation with an 11-month old and a 4-year old but everything was great. One of the secrets to a good family vacation is having lots of help. My Aunt Arlen and Uncle Bill met us at our hotel (Disney's Pop Century) on Day 1 with lots of baby supplies for Jack. My dad and Carole were with us the first few days, and then Rob's parents came. My cousins Dan and Bill came and hung out with us for the day, even.

We're already planning next year's trip! We have tons of photos but here are a few highlights.

Just a few months ago, Ella was scared to death by the frog "character" at the Redding Mark Twain Library Frog Frolic Event. She took a complete 180 and couldn't wait to meet all the Disney characters.

Pluto, Ella, Daddy, and Goofy.













Ella was so excited to have her face painted. We got this "Cinderella" design at the Animal Kingdom in DinoLand.










The Cederbaums with our new best bud, Mickey Mouse.













Goofy getting goofy with Jack and Carole.













My dad and Jack watching some drummers outside Epcot's "Test Track." It's one of Ella's favorite rides- she calls it the "Sky Cars."











Ella, Rob, Carole, Jack and my Dad relaxing at Epcot.

Which one's Chip and which one's Dale? I can never remember.
Ella and Rob got their autograph while Jack, my dad, Carole and I went into get lunch at Seasons food court.

Ella absolutely loves "Beauty and the Beast!" We listen to the music everyday and play Beauty and the Beast all the time. Ella's the Beast, I'm Belle, Rob's Lumiere, and Jack's Chip.

She was thrilled to meet the "real" Belle and Beast. She was almost speachless when we found them in Epcot.

We met Mickey again, at Epcot- this time in his regular, not safari, clothes.
