Disney - Ruthie

Buzz Lightyear and Woody

Lightning and Mater

Ruthie loved Disney - Buzz Lightyear, Woody, and Lightning McQueen are her favorites. She rode Midway Mania - in Hollywood Studios at least 6 times and then the Buzz Lightyear ride at Magic Kingdom a ton of times too! She loves pirates and we rode the pirate ride and she may have changed her mind on liking pirates after that one!

We counted and she met over 30 characters. 30+ Characters. We met, hugged, gave High-5!'s got autographs, couldn't get enough of seeing everyone. I tried to explain that some kids wait in line for hours to meet just Mickey Mouse and they met almost every character.....Mickey (like 3 times), Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Pluto, Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Lightning McQueen, Mater, Mr and Mrs. Incredible, Handy Manny, Quincy and June, Princess Belle, Cinderella, Prince Charming, Sleeping Beauty, Tinkerbell, Fawn, Terrence (these are all fairies), Snow White, the 2 kids from Peter Pan, Ariel, Pocahontas, Tigger, Pooh, Eeyore, Piglet, Chip and Dale, Thumper. Seriously!!!!

She couldn't get enough of everything. Loved dancing in the streets with all of the parades, even in the rain. I took her on her first roller coaster and they put us in the front row. Perhaps not the best place for her first time. She was really brave, but she told me that she lost her breathing when she was on the ride. Too funny. She was so glad to be with her Gammy and her cousin Harper.

She spent one day sick in the hotel with me. I think she had too much junk food, and we didn't know that she perhaps gets motion sickness. She was so sick, she didn't care that she was missing disney. But she bounced back and was ready for action. Nothing like a bubble bath and a 4 hour nap to do the trick.

Favorites were the Buzz Lightyear rides, dance parties, Boardwalk with the street performers, dancing at Downtown Disney. She also told me that she is starting to like princesses....Ariel is her favorite. I am not going to let that get me too excited, but I am just thrilled that she is open minded. Deep down, I know it is that she likes Eric she says "because he is like daddy".

***one last story I just thought of....once she met buzz and woody and we were walking out she very slyly, hung her head down and kissed her hand and blew him a kiss but didn't want anyone to think she wasn't macho... and got kinda embarassed when we saw and mentioned it and Buzz pretended like he caught it and put it on his heart....MELT MY HEART.
