On our recent road trip, the girls and I sneaked away for a couple nights and had some much needed one on one time with each other. I have mom guilt so much since I work full-time and so when the opportunity fell in my lap by a wonderful and inspiring mom friend, the girls and I were off to the most magical place on Earth…. Disney.
As you know we were at Animal Kingdom but our first night in the magical land, it was all about Magic Kingdom.
Since my beautiful princesses were in tow, I of course had to make our first stop with a walk through Cinderella’s castle.
As soon as we walked through the royal palace, the girls locked their eyes on the ever so popular Carousel ride. Every time we go to Magic Kingdom, the girls have to make sure they ride the Carousel. I loved the Carousel as a child growing up so to see the glitter in the girls eyes, just makes my heart melt all over again.
Skipping off the Carousel onto “It’s a Small World” ride all the while singing it as loud as we can holding hands….
We glided right off that boat onto our magical carpet to see the ever so cool 3D show that splashes water on you and blows air in your face. The smiles, the giggles, and the nerdy yellow glasses. Memories forever with my girls.
As the darkness was setting in, our hearts were bursting out at the seams for the Electrical Parade. We first heard of the Parade back in February at Disney Social Media Moms, so to be able to experience the Parade in person was really a dream come true for the girls.
We sought out our spot to make sure we had the perfect setting to be able to enjoy the parade and up came a little handsome boy that wanted a hug so bad from L. He held out his hands to her over and over.
L just would give him the cold shoulder and finally he just started pleading “Please give me a hug”, but there was just no hope from princess L!
She is saving her love for her future prince but that is many many years away ;). It was onto the highlight of the night with my two favorite girls.
DISNEY’S ELECTRICAL PARADE
The girls eyes were captured by the first float and their faces were lit up with such delight. Take a glimpse into parts of the parade!
Happy 4th of July America!!!
The night was finished off with the princesses sitting by the castle to watch the skies light up with all the colors we could ever think of.
Mom and Daughter time at Disney ROCKS!
Love this post. Brings back memories of our trip last year. We loved watching the castle “change color”.
Thank you Kristi! That was one of our favorite parts too… girls just loved standing there to guess which color next 🙂
