Magic Kingdom

We decided to take Emma to Disney World this past weekend because 1. She loves all things Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! 2. She was free! 3. What adult needs a true reason to be a kid again??!? :) We were in Orlando for 3 nights and did other things around Orlando, but did spend one whole day (opening-closing) at Magic Kingdom! We all had a blast!! This was Emma's third trip to Magic Kingdom. She went at 5 months, 18 months, and now at almost 3.
 She rode every single ride she could based on height requirements. I think there were only four rides she could ride due to not being tall enough. She even rode Haunted Mansion! She rode Goofy's Rollercoaster like four times. She loves riding a carousel anytime she can, so riding it at the most magical place on Earth was no different!
 We loved Dumbo!!! We loved waiting in this line because half way through they have a playground the kids get to play on until it is time for your family to get back in line to get on the ride. Smart thinking Magic Kingdom! 
She was SO excited about riding the Little Mermaid ride and meeting Ariel. She did both of those at least twice!!
Then it was time to meet some of her most favorite characters. Goofy scared her but I think it was because he was standing up when we approached him and he was super tall!!
She was still a little afraid when we got to Donald Duck!
But got more comfortable by the time we reached Daisy Duck and was good to go with Minnie & Mickey Mouse.
 Then we were off to ride more rides. 
 I'm pretty sure Emma crashed for a nap in her stroller shortly after this ride!!!
 After we had ridden all of the rides and some more than once, we made our way to get settled for the parade, light show, and fireworks.
 She was on Scott's shoulders watching the night parade.
 I love what they do to the castle at night!! They were all so pretty.
We had a blast!!! I'm sure we will be back before too long!
