Disney!

Better late then never....
Our last day in Orlando we went to the Magic Kingdom in Disney. We got there right as the park opened for opening ceremonies which consisted of a song and dance routine and all the characters arriving via train, very cute. When we entered the actual park it was all decked out for the Holidays, gorgeous! The Christmas music made it even better, its never to early for some Christmas music in my opinion :)

Next up we hit up some of the big rides Splash Mountain, and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Both very fun rides! After about 5 rides we grabbed lunch and then did more rides until we caught a parade full of all the characters. Then we all split up. Ed and I went for some pineapple ice cream (DELICIOUS!!) and then walked around the Main Street shops (super cute). We headed back to the hotel after and grabbed a quick nap before heading to the Wilderness lodge for a bbq dinner. After dinner we zipped back into the Magic Kingdom for a few night shots of Disney. We didn't get back to the hotel until midnight and were up by 4 AM to get to the airport....long tiring day but so worth it! Can't wait for our next Disney trip. Here are a few pics of the fun!
