Back to the Magic Kingdom!

We headed back to the Magic Kingdom on our last full day in Florida and for a few hours the next morning before we left for the airport.












Jonah was obsessed with opening and closing his Mickey glasses... he was so cute how carefully he did it!




We got to preview part of the new Fantasyland - we rode the new Little Mermaid ride and experienced Belle's Tales - so fun!



Riley and Jonah were excited to check out the Swiss Family Robinson treehouse!


By Friday I finally had the one snack I was looking forward to all week - a Mickey ice cream!


We watched the "Dreams Come True" parade from the top of the train station - perfect viewing area!




One last ride on the merry-go-round!





Anytime there was something loud or scary, this is what Riley looked like.


Animal Kindgom

We had a lot of fun the day we visited Animal Kingdom! We got to meet a lot of characters there, and everyone was dressed up for the holidays!







Somehow we lost the sunglasses Riley brought from home between the hotel and the park this morning, so both boys ended up with new sunglasses, and they hardly took them off for the rest of the week!



Jonah was VERY excited about brushing the goats... he only put his brush away when we told him that he had brushed every single one.



Waiting for the dino ride in Dinoland!



That night we ate dinner at the Whispering Canyon Cafe in the Wilderness Lodge hotel and they had a great Lincoln Log table to entertain the big & small kids while we waited!

Hollywood Studios

We had a great day at Hollywood Studios - this is the park where most of the Disney Junior characters hang out, and they're definitely among the boys' favorites!


We got to say Hi to Minnie Mouse between appearances.


Meeting Handy Manny...

And Jake...


Posing with Lightening McQueen & Mater


Seeing Jake again at lunch


Meeting Special Agent Oso



Riley at the Disney Junior show


So excited about his streamers & gold coins!


Epcot

On our second day we headed over to Epcot (or Ef-cot, if you ask Riley).








Riley & Jonah loved Nemo!


 Waiting for our lunch at the Beirgarten


This was one of my favorite meal spots of the week... the food was SO good and we all loved the polka band show after we ate!
