January: Disney World

Our trip to Disney World was great. We left on a Wednesday morning and got to the park in time for lunch with Winnie the Pooh and his friends. This was our first foray into character meetings since the last Easter Egg Roll and let's say that I was a bit nervous to see how they went, since Maya's been known to cower when someone dressed up comes over. To say she loved it was an understatement and Zoe loved it too!

Piglet

Onto our first ride..Dumbo the Elephant:

And a random character meeting:

Pinocchio

After an afternoon of rides and exploring, off to meet Cinderella and her stepsisters, stepmother and Prince Charming:
