Disney World Photos #1

 We're off! The Clipper Ride was wonderful. Great scenery and relaxed customs experience. Customs at the ferry terminal is not nearly as intimidating as at the airport.

These two guys have been favorite characters for both Disney trips. Both times, they stole Ethan's hat and goofed around with the kids. We now have 2 Chip and Dale fans in the house.

 Ethan used a good portion of his spending money to build his own light sabre. He's very pleased with it too.

 This was part of the waiting Que to meet Buzz and Woody.

Ethan and Evelyn spent most of this character greet time dancing with the characters. 

 Ryan volunteered to be in a special effects show at Hollywood studios. He played a frigate captain during an attack by air and torpedo.

 He only got a little bit wet and got to have a very unique experience.

Donald was a lot of fun too. We met him right after his water break, and I think he overheard us giving instructions to Ethan because he signed his book "To Ethan". 

A family photo at Animal Kingdom. 

 We saw a 'Lion King' show in Animal Kingdom. We were selected to have front row seats and Ryan was invited up to lead our section in our 'team' warthog sound. Warthog sounds are not easy to make! The show was fabulous! Acrobatics, Singing, Dancing, and lots of interaction.

It was set as a theatre-in-the-round.

 Evelyn and Ethan got to make music and parade around the centre stage.

 My little Prince Ethan. He was kissed on the cheek by Tinkerbell, and she left a big lipstick mark on his cheek. The same day, 'Alice' (from wonderland) also kissed his other cheek. He was slightly embarrassed but secretly gleeful of these kisses, the next day, however, he was kissed by 'Aurora' also. At that point, he decided he did not like kisses from princesses and became very wary of them. He easily went on scary rides, embraced the stuffed characters, and happily performed in front of several hundred people, but cowered in fear of any other princesses we met. He refused to touch them or stand next to them.

He agreed to wear this prince charming jacket for one morning. I love how handsome he looks!

 Lady Germaine, Anastasia and Drysella were my favorite characters to interact with. They were well cast and really played their roles well. I enjoyed listening to their banter and bickering as they signed and took photos.

Evelyn had a 'Pop Princess' makeover. She chose rainbow hair because it would go with everything.
