Vacation-Day 7
The last day was spent shopping at the outlet mall and dinner at Uncle Bill's house. Kelsey got in the pool at Bill's and has started putting her face in the water. She was able to hold her breathe for 10 seconds! Her swim lessons have really helped.

Vacation-Day 5 & 6
Day 5 was spent like this...sleeping and chilling by the pool (in between the torrential downpours of rain).
Day 6 was a little more exciting since we'd had a day of rest. We headed to Downtown Disney for Kelsey's Bippity Boppity Boutique appointment. The boutique is in the World of Disney and we reported at 12:15 for her12:30 appointment. Kelsey chose Cinderella's dress and we were taking to a dressing room for her to change. Here is the pre-make over picture.
Then, her fairy godmother put on her glass slippers and Kelsey was walked through the store as they called, "The princess is coming, make way for the princess!"
She was walked to the front window of The World of Disney. There was a special station up front where she was transformed into a princess. Of course she had an entourage that was impress anyone. Gi-Gi, Uncle Bill, Skylar, Uncle Jim, Ya-Ya, Grampy, Rusty and I were all there to watch her transformation. Plus, she had a photographer capture every moment!
This is a guard that is put up before sprinkling the glitter, or sparkles as Kelsey calls it, in her hair! Kelsey loved this part!

Vacation-Day 4
Today was our last day at Disney World. We started off with breakfast at Cinderella's Table. Uncle Bill, Gi-Gi and Skylar joined us for the day. Kelsey was able to spend time with Cinderella, Snow White, Princess Aurora, Ariel, and Belle.
The rest of the day was spent revisiting her favorite rides and taking in a few new ones. We stayed and watched the fireworks and then took the ferry back to the car instead of the monorail.
After 3 days of visiting the parks we were exhausted and needed a calm, relaxing day.

Vacation-Day 3
Today we visited Disney's Hollywood Studios, formerly known as MGM Studios. We started off at the 3-D Toy Story Mania attraction since that is one of the most popular and tends to have a long line. Kelsey saw a lot of the characters today and that was her favorite part! She was so excited to see Mickey and Minnie again! We saw the Little Einsteins, Cpt. Hook and Mr. Smee, but she did not want to meet them so we just waved to them from afar. 
Rusty thought it would be a good idea to challenge Mr. Incredible. Needless to say, he did not prevail! :)
Well, Kelsey did not care to meet Pooh, but Rusty wanted to!
Kelsey loved The Voyage of the Little Mermaid and was disappointed we did not see her at the park. While Ya-Ya, Rusty and I went on The Tower of Terror Kelsey stayed with Grampy and cooled off with some ice cream and played with the camera. She took a pretty good picture of Grampy!
Today was also the last day of the Star Wars weekend and the park was busier than normal. There are only a few a year so the Star Wars fans come from all over to see the special events and to get autographs. We were greeted by the stormtroopers when we entered the park and we able to see many of the characters from the movies. Mom and I had our picture taken with Luke and C-3PO. We weren't as excited about Luke, but it was fun.
We made reservations to eat at the 50's Prime Time Cafe. We enjoyed home cooked food with service from a typical mom from the 1950's. It is a fun place to eat and somewhere worth visiting if you are there.

Vacation-Day 2
Today we woke up and went to the Magic Kingdom. We got a little lost on the way...but it ended up working to our advantage. Kelsey was so excited to see Mickey Mouse!!
We started in Fantasyland with all of the rides. Kelsey's favorite ride was the Tea Cups! She wanted to spin very fast and make everyone dizzy! Right outside the tea cups we met Mr. Rabbit.
Here we are in front of the Dumbo Ride.
We were able to see a lot of characters throughout the day. Her favorite was Minnie and Mickey, but the princesses were quite a hit as well.
Well, neither Kelsey nor daddy could pull out the sword.
Then, off to the race track...Kelsey got her driver's license today! She was a great driver.
We had a few long lines so Kelsey spent the time entertaining herself and the other kids around us with BUBBLES!!
We stayed late and watched the electrical parade.
Overall it was a great day. It was hot, but not miserable and the park was not nearly as crowded as it could have been. I don't think we stood in line longer than 25 minutes for anything. We did take advantage of the fast passes as much as we could.
