Magical Disney World

To celebrate Dan's mission homecoming, his family all went to Disney World and his parents invited me! It was soo fun! It really is the most magical place on earth :) Between the two of us, we took about 700 pics, and here are some of my faves!

Cinderella's castle is so classic! And so are all the cute Disney characters made out of plants and flowers...

I adore vanilla soft serve... and the cute guy I'm sharing it with ;) Yum!

We loved the new Star Wars Star Tours ride! We had to get a pic on the landspeeder :)

Good times in Epcot! Test Track is one of our fave rides there

I reminded the sharks at the Finding Nemo exhibit of an important fact; Brita is a friend, not food!

Haha I got a pic of Dan with Dori!

Dan's mom suggested that we plan a date night dinner for just the two of us. I love France in Epcot and Dan agreed that it would be the perfect place. We went to the Chefs de France and it was DELICIOUS!! Definitely my favorite meal of the week!

Dan got an amazing French onion soup (I stole bites), a mini French baguette and we both got duck in orange sauce with polenta and green beans. Duck has always been one of my favorite meats, and I found out Dan really likes it too. For dessert, I got Creme Brulee and shared with Dan. Everything was fantastic!

Mickey's Christmas Party was awesome! We enjoyed parades, shows and a special Holiday version of Wishes fireworks display!

We also had yummy hot chocolate, cookies and enjoyed that the park was not as crowded as usual.

Dan LOVED collecting these Star Wars and Toy Story figures called Vinylmations. You can't see what figure you're getting until you buy it and open the box, but if you get a figure you don't want or already have, you can go throughout the parks to these black boxes and try to trade it for a different figure you want.

Dan lookin cool with the Army man from Toy Story :)

Prime Time Cafe is fun... but make sure you eat your veggies and don't put your elbows on the table, because the waitress will scold you!

We went to Animal Kingdom right before we left. I got this shirt with leopard print to wear there. My favorite things there were Expedition Everest, the rapids ride and watching It's Tough to be a Bug.

But the best part of the trip was... WE GOT ENGAGED!!! I was SOO surprised and it was sooo magical!! More posts on that to come ;)

I had SUCH an amazing time!! I owe a big thank you to his parents for taking me! It could not have been more perfect!! XOXO
