Disney trip - Part 1

Alexis and mommy just got back from an 11 day trip to Disneyworld with Nana and Pop Pop Schneck. We had a blast!!! The Christmas decorations were just awesome and we got to see so all of the princesses and over 20 other characters. Between my dad, myself, and the Disney professional photographers, we have almost 2000 pictures, so it is a bit hard to highlight things in this blog, but I will try. I say this is Part 1 because I don't have my dad's pictures yet or the Disney professional pictures...so I will add a part 2 once I get those.
Here is Alexis among the presents displayed in Epcot...
And mommy and Alexis in front of the Mickey and Minnie Christmas topiaries.
Alexis with her princess ears in front of the gingerbread house at the Grand Floridian. It smelled so good...
And Alexis for the first time on the ever popular Dumbo ride...this was the longest wait of the whole trip...30 minutes.

Alexis in Frontierland at Magic Kingdom...I don't think she understood what these really were...
Alexis and mommy on the ant in Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground in Hollywood Studios.
Nana and Alexis goofing around while waiting to eat in Canada...great filet mignon...
Alexis made a mask in China and then collected stamps and paper charms on the mask in every country.

We celebrated Pop Pop's 60th birthday while at Mama Melrose for dinner. He had no clue and they brought a chocolate Mickey cake...the hat didn't stay on for very long though...
And then there were all of the Santas in Epcot...we saw 4 different ones before she was begging to see the "real" Santa and Mrs. Claus. This one is Father Christmas. They all told a story of Christmas in their country before we got to meet with them.
Canadian Santa

Pere Noel from France.
Norway's Gnome.
And finally Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus...she went by herself when usually in the mall she runs the other direction.
We had a buffet dinner with Mickey...Chef Mickey...and we got to see Mickey and Friends.
Now on to the princesses...the first one Alexis met was Pocohontas so she turned into a huge fan of her...she got the outfit and boots and wore it almost everyday.
Alexis and Princess Jo Jo...I don't think Disney really considers Jo Jo a princess, but Alexis does...and she actually gave Goliath (Jo Jo's lion) a hug too.
The last princess we finally found was Snow White...she came up to her in the SpectoMagic parade too.
Alice in Wonderland and Alexis...
Alexis and Mulan.
Alexis and Ariele - notice the outfit on Alexis...
Alexis and Jasmine...who is now her favorite too...she asked for the Jasmine outfit from Santa...
Alexis and Belle...
Alexis and Cinderella...who we actually got to see twice.
Alexis and Sleeping Beauty (Princess Aurora)...who we also got to see twice...
We had trouble getting Alexis to take an afternoon nap...but on one of the last days in Magic Kingom, she and Pluto decided to have a snooze...
And every night ended with Alexis zonked out in bed...this was the last night.
