the big day (morning)

our first day to wake up at disney was her 5th birthday...we sang to her and we were on our way!  nish (brandon's dad) wasn't on the trip but he completely spoiled ellis (ok...all of us!) and got us a private VIP tour guide for the day...a service disney offers.  not too shabby right?  it was fabulous to say the least.  carol (fabulous tour guide) picked us up @ valet...destination magic kingdom :)  5 minutes later we were on our first ride!  another bonus to the tour guide??  no waiting in lines.  no worrying about fast passes.  carol was our fast pass.  and she got us special seating at shows and parades (not having to show up early for either).  it was an awesome experience...we only asked her about a million questions :)  

here is beckett...he had already spilled a drink on himself and gotten into the sour patch kids before even leaving the hotel!!!!  we all wore purple in honor of the birthday girl :)

we met minnie and micky right upon entering the park :)  beckett wasn't sure about the characters at this point...he stayed about 5 feet away but smiled and waved!  by the end of the trip though, he was best friends with everyone in disney world...

teacups!  and as you can see in this picture...all the girls also wore purple bows with side ponies :)

 SuSu and kids...they wanted to ride this one twice.  carol said they could ride any ride as many times as they wanted to...yikes...

 dumbo!  purple for ellis....

blue for beckett!!

it rained in the morning...but was awesome weather the rest of the week...high 70's...clear skies.  beckett was a little chilly so he hijacked SuSu's little jacket. he looks like a monk or something...

so i think that morning we met minnie and mickey, small world, peter pan, winnie the poo, dumbo, teacups, merry go round, philhar magic, maybe others??  should have written it down!  next up, princess time!!!
