Disney World 2013!

Back in early December, we went to DISNEY WORLD! And I am just now telling you about it. For security reasons. No, that's a lie.

By far the most magical part of this trip was Zach meeting some of his absolute favorites...

Mickey...

 Goofy...

Buzz...

Donald...

 ... and many more. The first time Zach rounded the corner to see Mickey standing in the same room as him was just one of the best experiences I could ask for as a mom at Disney World. He just stood and stared in awe and then when Mickey waved him up Zach started jumping up and down and ran over and gave him a great big hug. He was just in awe of his buddy being there in person. All of the characters were great and gave Zach a lot of time and attention (which a 2 and a half year old needs to be able to fully process the situation).

We got to meet a talking Mickey and he had a conversation with Zach about the Haunted Mansion ride. Zach didn't really get it.

We rode ALOT of rides and Zach LOVED it. Lines were his nemesis- especially since they kept him from riding the same ride over and over again. But he took it in stride... generally...

 

Zach's first roller coaster... he BARELY made the height requirement, to which I responded with a congratulatory high five, exclaiming "good job growing, son!" See, situations like this are why we feed him.

I will say, Disney does a lot of the lines right and puts entertainment for the children in the line... or que...

It was Christmas season at Disney so we got all the perks of that... special parties, lights, decorations...

And then we came home to this...
