I struggled up until the morning we left if I was going to take my “big girl” camera or if I would just take a little point and shoot camera. At the last minute I decided I would take my 24-70 lens and I’m SOO happy I did. I thought I’d get tired of carrying it around but considering it’s like my 3rd arm, it wasn’t that bad AT ALL!! My only wish….that we would have stayed longer!! We visited each park within Disney, but we spent 2 days at the Magic Kingdom!

We had PERFECT weather…high 70’s low 80’s and not a cloud in the sky!


Greg bought Mallory a vintage watch for the trip. She LOOVED IT!

We got to the park early in the morning before the huge rush and stayed until the park closed! We were “those” people!! This was our 3rd trip, but for Mallory…it was her first time!!

I loved the look on her face as she looked around while on all the rides!

She had no idea what she was in for. Approximately 30 seconds after being on the ride, it sounded something like this: “ohhhhhhhhh, ahhhhhh, is it over? When is it going to be over? Make it stoppppp!!” Needless to say, from that point forward any ride we got on she would ask, “Is it going to go fast, upside down or will it be dark?”.

We stopped at all the “misters”.

She had a hard time reaching the peddle. She steered, I controlled the brake! If this a glimpse into when she learns to drive….GOOD LORD!!!!


The Tea Cups…..one of my favorites!!!


Dumbo…another classic!!!

The Walt Disney World Rail Road. 🙂


Luckily, we were able to get on most of the rides relatively quickly! She rode this a few times!



It’s a Small World……..can you tell that she got tired of the song repeating over and over…..at one point, she even covered her ears. She is *my* daughter!



Waiting patiently for her turn in Ariel’s Grotto…

She was so mesmerized by her……


One of my favorite, spur of the moment, candids!

The Magic Carpet ride……


Getting spit on by the camel! Moments later Greg walked by not realizing it “spits” and got soaked! haha!




She collected over 30 signatures during our trip to Disney….

Loove Disney at night!



She fits in perfectly with our family!! haha

The fireworks were AMAZING! If you’ve been there to see them for yourself…you know exactly what I’m talking about!


I obviously took WAY more photos…but trust me, it would take you DAYS to look thru them! Next up MGM Studios………Greg’s favorite!! He’s into all the movie stuff!





Thanks for sharing these! We can’t afford a Disney vacation right now, but it helps my craving when I can live vicariously through someone else! 🙂

Love your photos! We took our daughter there when she was 7 – it was magical.
The photo of your daughter hugging her dad is priceless. Ours is definitely a daddy’s girl.
