Disney Vacation: Magic Kingdom (1st of 3 days)

Today was magical!  We spent most of the day in Fantasyland because that is where 5 year olds most want to be.  We all loved Goofy's Barnstormer (so glad our girls like roller coasters as much as we do!).  Grandy and Grammie joined us about half way through the morning, and although we spent some time together, we each did our own thing some also.
Anxious to catch our first glimpse of the castle as we take the ferry across Bay Lake.
All decorated for Halloween:
The girls and I had fun spinning in Alice's  teacups.
Goofy's Branstormer: (Daddy and Ella, Mommy and Emma) I think we rode this 3 times!
Exiting Dumbo:
One of the highlights of the day was getting to meet Ariel.  Our girls have been enthralled with Ariel for several months, so going on The Voyage of the Little Mermaid followed by meeting Ariel herself was amazing!  Ariel was so kind!  She took her time speaking with our girls.  She genuinely expressed an interest in them.  When she found out they were dressing up as her for Halloween, she wondered what she could be if they were going to be her.  Then she offered for Flounder and her to dress up as our girls to make it all even.  Ella and Emma thought that was pretty funny.

Ella:
Casey Jr. Splash 'N' Soak Station provided a nice way for our girls to cool off and burn some energy:
After yesterday's tears over Minnie, Daddy and I decided we would buy one souvenir type item per day maximum.  Today Ella chose a Minnie hat, and Emma chose a balloon (somehow I didn't get a picture of the balloon.).
Interactive que at The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh:
Prince Charming's Regal Carousel:
It's a Small World:
The ride portion of our day ended a little early today, as we had to get ready for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.
