The Happiest Place on Earth

We flew in last Wednesday and planned our trip to Disney for Thursday. What an AMAZING day it was! The weather was perfect - not too hot, not too cold. The kids were (surprisingly) ALL very well behaved the entire day. And everyone had a blast. Some of the highlights included:

~ the PhilHarMagic 3D show ~

~ meeting The Kolis family and their adorable little guy Isaiah, who, like Aiden, has Apert Syndrome ~

~ going through Mickey Mouse's house and meeting Mickey and Minnie in person (although, as you can see, not a highlight of Aiden's day...) ~

~ watching the lights and fireworks show in front of the castle after dark ~

But the best moment by far was Ethan visiting the Princesses.

My nieces were so excited to meet them, and we thought it would be fun for Ethan too (although Ricky was a little preturbed by Ethan's level of excitement...)

After waiting in line, we were shuffled as a group into a private room with Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and Belle from Beauty and the Beast.

Ethan blushed a little as he approached Sleeping Beauty. We thought he was going to be very shy with her, but instead, he talked to her in a little whisper with a cute grin on his face. When his turn was almost over, he gave her a hug and then...planted one right on her lips much to her own surprise! Sleeping Beauty was blushing now!

We ushered him along to wait for his photo with Cinderella. As he stood patiently waiting his turn, he looked up and announced "After I'm done kissing all the princesses, I want to go ride the pirate ship!" HA! Of course, Ricky was like "That's my boy!" and we all had a laugh. The princesses just ate him up, calling him Prince Ethan and leaving their spots to come and steal more pictures with Ethan (and probably hoping for another kiss). It couldn't have been any cuter!
