Let's hit the slopes!

One of my favorite photo shoots of Emmett...who knew one could make you smile this much?

It's a Small World

Welcome to the happiest cruise that ever sailed...my all-time favorite!!!





Jackpot.

Let the Magic Begin...

Mommy was extremely jazzed to finally be here at Disneyworld with her two children. They, on the other hand, were hot and tired with no clue about what's to come.

Riding Cinderella's Golden Carousel...

You can barely see Mickey and Minnie in this shot, but we stumbled upon a broadway-esque musical about dreams coming true. What else could it be about?!

Our last ride of the day on the "PeopleMover" and it's quite the coincidence someone like Emmett loved it so much.

Leading up to Disney, we had a sick boy on our hands who was frankly, scared of many things we saw at Universal Studios. Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, Incredible Hulk--kind of scary when you are a fearful foursome! When we landed in Disneyworld, it was like Emmett came alive or we got him back. We saw him smiling and jumping, laughing and playing. Those famous ears have some magical power. I don't know how else to explain it.

More of Animal Kingdom

Emmett and Mommy with "Mount Everest" in the background. It evens has a roller coaster that rides through it with a Yeti inside (no joke!).

The entrance to Kiliminjaro and the unforgettable Safari ride. We loved our lunch at Tusker restaurant, too, that was authentic african food (best meal of the week!).

Emmett and daddy in front of the Tree of Life! Yay!

One of the many things we saw at DinoLand.

A better shot of our boy with Everest in the background. Maybe one day we'll visit the real deal?!

Animal Kingdom's Kiliminjaro Safari

All I can say is that Walt Disney does not mess around. This safari was unbelievable as we pretty much saw it all. Lions, leopards, ostrichs, baby elephants and much, much more. This is a small snapshot of what we experienced. It was a true adventure and baby girl slept the entire time. The rest of us were on the edge of our seats!

When we turned the corner and saw this precious site, we were elated!

This giraffe was no more than 30 yards from us.

Just a hippo hanging out in the sun...
