Summer holidays - Animal Kingdom!

We spent a day at Animal Kingdom.  Great park for kiddies.  Not too big and it closed at 6pm so this was a reasonable and not too tiring day for us! 

We're here!

Amazing scenery!

Summer vacation - Downtown Disney

It's hard to believe we've already come and gone from our summer holidays.  It was a wonderful week together and it was amazing to experience Disney together for the first time! 

We decided one night to head down to Downtown Disney and slowly immerse ourselves in the experience!

Train Ride! 

The only time she tried on Minnie ears!

The Rapunzel nightie that she was in LOVE with...  but for $38US?  No way!  As a peace offering, a Frozen nightie was bought at Target for a much much much better price :)

Playing with Ms. Potato Head in one of the stores

Carousel ride - AK's favorite kind of ride these days!

Saying Hello to Mickey and Minnie!

Checking out the Christmas store - LOVE!

Waiting for the dance party...

...and more waiting!

Striking a pose with Aurora - Sleeping Beauty!
Up next - Hollywood Studios transformed into a Frozen Summer Celebration!
