Disney World

While we were in Naples, we surprised Bennett with a very short trip to Disney World! We woke up about 4 in the morning (thanks to Miles being awake anyway). We got Bennett up and gave her a special card from the princesses inviting her to Disney World! She was very surprised!! We got in the car and drove 3 hours to get there. We enjoyed a full day at Magic Kingdom, spent the night at the Wilderness Lodge, and then spent a second day at Magic Kingdom and drove back to Naples that night. We had such a great time!! It was fun to just have Bennett by herself! She was exactly 40" so she could go on all of the rides. She tried everything! I was so proud of her for going on rides like Big Thunder Mountain (her first roller coaster!) and Splash Mountain. Of course she also LOVED meeting all of the princesses, especially her favorite, Jasmine! We also went to lunch in Cinderella's castle where the princesses walked around and talked to you too. We decided that 2 days was the perfect amount of time with a 4 year old, and 4 was the perfect age to take her. She was in awe of everything, which really made the trip magical for all of us. It was a very memorable trip!

Bennett's favorites included:

-Peter Pan ride

-Magic Carpets

-Snow White's scary adventure

-meeting the princesses, especially Jasmine

Her least 2 favorites were:

-Stitch's Adventure

-Pirates of the Caribbean ride

I had to get a picture with Bennett on the It's a Small World ride. That was my very favorite ride when I went to Disney when I was her age. I'm glad she was more adventurous than I was at her age!!

Jasmine and Aladdin. Bennett was so excited!! (and Mommy stood in line in the rain to make this one possible!)

In front of the big drop on Splash Mountain. Still so proud of Bennett that she did this ride!

With Prince Eric and Ariel. Ariel taught Bennett how to pose like her!

There was a really fun street parade that pulled the kids out to dance with them. Bennett had a blast being part of it all!

We surprised Bennett with a Jasmine outfit for our character lunch in the castle. Snow White was our favorite there. She even gave Bennett a kiss!
