For me, Magic Kingdom was the best park. Each park has a lot to offer, but for pure family joy, this park was it. We had such a great time at Magic Kingdom. Olivia rode her favorite, favorite ride - Splash Mountain. Emery loved all the rides she went on (which was all but two). Grammy enjoyed Pirates of the Caribbean with Capt. Jack Sparrow. My favorite ride was
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad 'cuz it's basically a roller coaster for wimps. It was gorgeous weather, and we rode most of the rides with little wait. It was just so much fun watching the girls experience it. That evening offered up the most magical moment of the trip - Olivia meeting Cinderella. We went to dinner at 1900 Park Fare (big thanks to Aunt Kim for setting it up) and all of the Cinderella characters were there. Cinderella was going table to table greeting the guests and it took her quite awhile to get to us. Olivia was getting more and more excited as she got closer to our table. Finally, she got to our table and greeted Olivia and Chesney. Olivia was being kind of shy. Grammy said, "Olivia, did you tell her you love her more than any other Princess?" And Cinderella just lit up, hugged Olivia and gave her a kiss. That was it for Liv - she was over the moon. She got Cinderella's autograph and pictures taken with her. As Cinderella walked to the next table, Olivia couldn't contain it any longer -- she jumped up and down and clapped her hands and squealed. John and I both got misty-eyed over that. The pictures tell it better than I can, so I'll let them do the talking now.

Emery's first pair of Mickey ears - she's thrilled. Chesney and Olivia meeting Cinderella. Olivia's first pair of ears. Kim, Emery, and I meeting Prince Charming. Grammy and Olivia on the Buzz Lightyear ride - you had lazer guns to shoot targets and I kicked John's butt! Emery checking out everything during the It's a Small World ride.
