Margaret's Wiggle Dance



This is Margaret's newest dance: she tells us it is her "wiggle dance". Her "song" at the end is her version of Led Zeppelin.

Disney World 2009

We took a trip to Disney World in late January. The trip started off with Margaret and Mama Kiki helping the plane take off by patting their knees Little Einstein style:



Once there Margaret met the likes of Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. As you can see, she was quite excited to meet them!




Margaret even got to do a hat dance in Mexico:



Margaret went Minnie movie star on us:



and Phillip got to meet Winnie the Pooh



and Piglet too!



We rode its a Small World



and Peter Pan's Flight



The whole family met Mickey and Minnie



and saw an amazing parade in front of Cinderella's castle



Then it was off to Epcot



where we had dinner in Japan and Margaret was able to show her "mastery" of chopsticks and her love of sushi



Day 3 started with a bus trip to the Animal Kingdom:



where Margaret was able to meet Lilo and Stitch



and Chris, Sarah, and Sarah were able to ride Expedition Everest (best ride at Disney World!)



Margaret spotted Pluto and Goofy



and Phillip and Aunt Sarah loved the Lion King stage show



But all of that was very tiring so it was nap time for the kids:



Before we headed out to the German Biergarten



where Margaret loved the "Germany food and Germany band"



Day 4 we headed to Disney's Hollywood Studios (still MGM to me)



where Margaret received Minnie's autograph



and met up Chip and Dale



Phillip crawled around at Playhouse Disney Live



while Margaret really enjoyed seeing some of her favorite cartoon characters on stage




and she even got to meet Leo and Annie



Quincy and June



and Handy Manny after the show



Day 5 was spent at the Magic Kingdom






where Margaret finally was able to meet Donald



Before we headed to lunch with Cinderella at her castle



There are 3 Cinderellas here!



Jasmine was the first to our table



The both Margaret and Phillip said hello to Sleeping Beauty





and both children were excited to see Belle





and of course Snow White was a highlight also



After lunch it was on to Cinderella's carousel, where Margaret rode Cinderella's own horse



and Phillip smiled for the camera



Mama Kiki and Margaret rode on Alice's Tea cups



and Aunt Sarah and Phillip hung out in Tomorrowland



We topped off the night by watching the SpectroMagic parade



Our last day we headed out for an earlier breakfast at the Beach Club's Cape May Cafe. Here we met up with Minnie, Goofy, and Donald.

The first character to our table was Minnie and Margaret was quite excited



and Phillip got into the act too



Nice family shot with Minnie


and even Mama Kiki had a souvenir picture with Minnie and the kids



Phillip was a big fan of Minnie and Mickey's noses



Minnie left a note to her "Minnie" twin



Goofy paid the table a visit



and the kids "smiledd" for the camera



Finally it was Donald. Margaret was definitely very excited to see him again!



Unfortunately we had to head home but Mickey was there to wave good bye at the Orlando airport.



We all had a great time and are already planning our next trip to Disney in a few years.
