May 12: Even More Magic!

On Saturday, we headed to Hollywood Studios. We got to meet Lighting McQueen and Mater, but the biggest hit was definitely the Disney Junior show! Afterwards we took a boat to Epcot and spent the rest of the day walking around the World Showcase and seeing all the fun topiaries and meeting characters! It was a great day :)

The boys were very excited to see Lighting McQueen and Mater, but their engines were a little loud (and scary)

May 11: More Magic!

On Friday, we spent the day at the Magic Kingdom! Sara had an appointment at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for a princess transformation. Then she and I ate lunch at Cinderella's Royal Table!! We had a great view of Fantasyland and the New Fantasyland! It was so much fun to spend the morning with Sara and the princesses! Mike had a great time with the boys! They saw the Country Bear Jamboree, a parade, and rode the train and peoplemover. We spent the afternoon watching the parade and riding rides! What a magical day!
