Party at the Pettyjohn's: Disney Photos

We took a million pictures on our trip, so this is just a sampling. If you want the "entire show" you can come by the house and watch the DVD of the pictures. We had a wonderful time. The kids were in great moods, the lines for the most part were short (at least with fast passes), we had some great time with family, and we will have great memories forever. We were in Orlando for 7 nights and went to the parks 6 days. We saw so many of the characters and had them sign autograph books. The girls rode pretty much everything. They didn't like the Tower of Terror. Audrey's favorite ride was the Aerosmith Rocking Roller Coaster. Kelsey's favorite was the carosel but she like Thunder Mountain Railroad a lot too. Some highlights include: we had to have an emergency evacuation of It's a Small World and ended up behind the ride with the dumpsters, Audrey and Randy were made movie stars as a "two headed monster" at the Monsters Inc. comedy show, the talking trash can spoke to Matthew, and Marsha managed to make it through the week without losing anything (though she tried to on several occasions).

Audrey and Kelsey at the entrance to the Magic Kingdom, waiting for the "good morning show"

The first characters we saw were Cinderella's stepmother and stepsisters. It was definetely the real thing...Audrey didn't know what to think when they acted just like they do in the movie. And Kelsey didn't want anything to do with them...but we did get a picture of Kelsey with them (she just didn't know they snuck up behind her).

Audrey with Belle (we later saw the village Belle with the Beast). This Belle commented that Randy could be her Beast.

Kelsey with Cinderella. She liked the "nice" people, but was not a fan of any villian or character that was over a certain size...even though she claims Pluto is her favorite she would only stand by him if I was between them. Better than I thought she would do considering she screams when she sees the Chick Fil A cow across the parking lot.

The longest line we stood in at the Magic Kingdom was to see the fairies (and that was like 30 mins). This is Silvermist, Audrey's favorite fairy, she is a water fairy.

Alladin and Jasmine with the girls. Jasmine is the favorite princess in our house.

Back at the condo after a long day.

Jocelyn, Audrey, Pa, Ma, Aunt Raven, Kelsey adn Greg and the boys way in the back on Thunder Mountain Railroad.

This is a neat picture. Looks like Rita and the boys are really flying on Alladin's magic carpet...just have to photoshop out that arm thing.

Marsha, Greg, Ma, Raven, Jocelyn, Pa and Rita wet after riding Splash Mountain and about to get on the jungle cruise.

The cousins in front of the castle. It is pretty tough to get these 5 in a picture together. They are wearing the hand made shirts by Aunt Rita. She could have sold them...people kept asking us where we got them. The shirts that is, not the kids.

Randy and Audrey about to ride Star Wars at Hollywood Studios.

The girls with Prince Caspien from Narnia. He has now made Audrey's list of people she loves. He was talking all sweet to her...and she still blushes when you mention his name.
