The day after we arrived in Disney World, we spent the whole day at the Magic Kingdom. The kids did great. Even the babies did great learning to survive on cat naps. Both girls apparently thought that It's A Small World was pretty soothing:-).
My baby girl doesn't often fall asleep in my arms!
View of where they were building Rapunzel's tower. Can't wait to see it complete (even though I guess it's just a bathroomd)!
I had told Layla that the day she dressed as Rapunzel, we'd get a pic of her with the tower in the background, but we weren't over by the tower that day until it was dark:-(. At least Joyce did take this close up of the tower (we couldn't see the bottom of it--it was covered by construction fences).
Out of order, but this was taken before we entered the park...
Right when we entered the park, Pluto was greeting people and there was a really short line. He is one of Gibs' favorite characters so it was perfect that that was who we saw first! The kids, especially Gibs, were very interested in seeing where we were at on the map.
Waiting to meet Pluto!!
Such excited kiddos!

The Lubbers with Pluto...
After we left Pluto, we saw Mary Poppins with no wait at all. Layla LOVES Mary Poppins.
Later, we met Mickey (sadly, Minnie wasn't there)...
The whole group!
I LOVE the feeling of walking down Main Street for the first time each trip!
The new Dumbo wait area was great for the kids!!
Greta loved it too and was mad when it was our turn to go on the ride...
This was definitely one of the kids' favorits rides! Thankfully Gibs was tall enough! It's so nice with Disney though that there is so much to do even with little kids that are too short for any roller coaster. Greta went on almost every ride that we did (with the exception of roller coasters--this was the only ride that Gibs could do and that Greta couldn't) and she loved them all! And she even liked the shows or fell asleep during them which was great. Layla was so scared of anything in the dark when we took her at 10 months and Gibs was about the same way as Greta was when we took him at 16 months (Greta was 13 months) but it feels like we didn't get in as much on that trip as we did witht his trip. It was so fun having 2 kids that could really understand and enjoy it all and Greta, although she won't remember it, really did love it all. There's so much to capture kids'/babies' attention!
They were all tired out by parade time. It got hotter than anticipated, so that is why Layla is in a tank top and Gibs is wearing red shorts with a red shirt (I happened to have a back up pair with me).
We have never before had SO many characters shake the kids' hands! I don't know if we were sitting in a good spot or what. It also happened at the Animal Kingdom parade. These were just a few I got pictures of.
They also loved the new Little Mermaid ride and went on it both days we were there.
Watching the electrical parade (we didn't get in line and terrible seats)...
