Disney Vacation

As most of you know, last week, we went to Disney World!  It was a fun and exhausting week.  Now, here's the recap.  It's a long one!!

Zuri did great with her first plane ride.  The flight attendant suggested Zuri look in the cockpit and also get a picture up there! 

Before going to Disney, we went to Palm Coast where we met up with Ben, Beth, and Zoe for dinner and a walk along Flagler Beach.  The tide was rough so we didn't swim, but Zuri had fun nonetheless!  I posted videos previously (http://www.princesszurilane.blogspot.com/2014/09/first-ocean-videos.html) as well as pictures (http://www.princesszurilane.blogspot.com/2014/09/first-time-at-beach.html).

Monday, we drove to Disney.  Here are a few pics from the hotel.

That evening, we went to Downtown Disney for a little bit and did some shopping.  Zuri got her picture with Cinderella and Aurora statues while we were there.  :o)

When we returned to our hotel, Zuri had a surprise waiting for her.  It was a gift from the princesses!

 Tuesday, we spent the day at Epcot.  It rained most of the time we were there, but we still had fun!

 

The first character we met was Pluto.  Zuri didn't want to get right next to him, but she was excited to see him.

Zuri really enjoyed our private Meet and Greet with Minnie Mouse and Pluto as well as the Character Spot with Mickey, Goofy, and Minnie again.  Notice Pluto has Zuri's stuffed Pluto in his mouth!

She also really enjoyed all the stuff to do inside the Innoventions buildings.  She learned about fire safety and severe weather.  There was a lot for her to do indoors so we could stay dry.  :o)

 

Wednesday, we spent the day at Magic Kingdom.  It was rainy when we first go there, but dried out shortly.  Zuri enjoyed the Carousel and the Mad Hatter Tea Cup ride.  Thanks to Aunt Jenn and Uncle Brendan, Zuri received a princess makeover at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique!  We tried getting her to take a nap beforehand, but that didn't happen so she fell asleep during her makeover.  I had to actually hold her head while they finished her hair and makeup!  We had dinner reservations at Cinderella's Royal Table not long after the makeover so I sat inside with Zuri until dinner.  She was excited to see Cinderella again (she saw her in the morning too) and other princesses.  The other princesses came to each and every table during dinner.  It was really a neat experience.

So sweet...

Daddy and Mommy needed pictures with our princess!!

After dinner, we had a photo shoot as part of the princess makeover.  :o)

Thursday, we spent the day at Hollywood Studios.  It didn't rain, but it was really hot!!  We met more characters and watched a Disney Junior puppet show!

Zuri did not want to be near Wreck-It-Ralph, but she loved Vanellope!

She met Minnie again and danced with her!

Phineas and Ferb - she actually hugged both of them.  It was cute!

Sofia...

Jake...

We left early Friday.  Zuri was being cool on the bus and then when we got back home and Papaw picked us up, she insisted on pulling her own luggage.  :o)

We have spent the weekend unpacking and getting ready for the work/school week.  I am glad we were able to take Zuri to Disney and that she was able to meet so many characters and princesses, but I am exhausted!!  Our next vacation will be just to the beach.  :o)  If Zuri asks to go to Disney again, we will take her if we are able, but we won't volunteer it!!  LOL
