MICKEY'S HOUSE!!

When the alarm went off on Monday morning, even I bolted out of bed with excitement....it was MICKEY'S HOUSE DAY!!!  The months and months of Little M asking when we were going to see the castle were finally over....THE day was here!

We quick got up, ate some breakfast, and dressed the girls in their matching Mickey Mouse outfits before heading out for the day!

It did take us a little longer than we thought to get to the Magic Kingdom.  And add in the lines for will call, the ferry, tickets presentation, and security, it was about 10:45 before we even walked out onto main street.  But as soon as we rounded the corner and saw "Mickey's Castle", it was all worth it.

A smile appeared on Little M's face that did not leave for the rest of the day.  We got some drinks {mom fail...I only brought stuff for Baby C, no drinks or snacks for the rest of us!} and took pictures in front of the castle before heading off to check out some more stuff.

My kid is the coolest person I know

The first place we headed was the carousel, as that is Little M's favorite these days.  Months ago she said was of the horses on it was named Cindy and she couldn't wait to ride her.  So we hopped right on that line to fulfil her wish.

I took her on the first time we rode, and Skip took her when we went on later.  Her joy was just so endless!

Now, most of you are going to be ridiculously disappointed in us, but the carousel was the only ride we went on in Magic Kingdom {hangs head in shame}  Let me explain though.  Neither Skip, nor I are really rides people.  And when travelling with an infant and a three year old, your ride choices are pretty limited.  We also didn't know how long the girls would stand the park before wiggin' out, so we didn't want to commit to just standing in line all day.  But what we did end up doing I think was way more fun for Little M.

We filled the next few hours with lunch {at the Pinocchio place just outside the carousel} some parades, and lots and lots of princesses.

We stumbled up on the music parade just outside the castle, where Little M got to dance and sing with Woody, Jesse, Goofy, and the rest of the gang.

We also made sure to line up to watch the 3:00 pm go down Main Street.  It was great because it wasn't too long, and Little M got to see all the princesses and the rest of the characters as well.

The rest of the time was spent tracking down princesses {and sometimes waiting 1 1/2 hours to see them...ahem Rapunzel}  But the look on Little M's face each time she got to talk to them was just priceless.  She really thought they were the characters from the movie and kept asking them plotline questions.  Cutest.thing.ever.

Now, are we forgetting someone? Oh right...it's not a trip to Mickey's House without meeting the man himself!  We headed over to see Mickey as we were getting ready to leave the park.  Baby C asleep in the moby wrap, so just Skip and Little M went in to see Mickey and Minnie.  It was the perfect ending to our day!

We might have only stayed at the park till 4:30...and we only went on one ride while we were there...but honestly?  It was one of the best days ever as a family and I am so glad we went!
