3rd Day

Picture with Tigger and Piclet ...
For our 3rd day we started out at Epcot and ended at Magic Kingdom for the Mickey Mouse Christmas Party and parade ... It was a big day and Ellie did GREAT ...

Watching the fireworks...

Even Santa was at Disney World ...
Silly reindeer ...



waiting for the parade ...
The castle looked beautiful in all the lights ...

Okay ... so I was trying to get Ellie to look at me for this picture and I said something like "Ellie look at Mommy's nose" ... which surprisingly usually works ... but not this time ...

We rode it 5 times ....

We were so excited to take Ellie to Magic Kingdom ... It has to be one of the most magical places on earth ... and she of course was asleep ...
Riding the shuttle to Magic Kingdom ...
Ellie wanted to go by and see the swan water fountain everyday ...
There is a huge Christmas tree in the lobby of one of the hotels, and it has a big train going around it ... we took Ellie to see it while Daddy was finishing up at the conference ....
