Shannon with her Mommy on their first ride... the tea cups.

The days were hot, but the scenery was nice.

A view from the geiser inside the hotel (Wilderness Lodge).

Shannon was able to paint her own desert at the Artist Point restaurant.

Here we are starting one of our days at Epcot.

We enjoyed our visit of "the Sea", featuring the finding Nemo cast.

For lunch, we ate at Germany (in Epcot) and were treated to polka music.

Cheers!

Shannon's favorite princess on this trip was Sleeping Beauty (Aurora). So many dolls... going to Disney was a dream come true!

We're on our way to the Castle to have breakfast with Cinderella before the park opens for the masses. Here's a rare shot of main street without a crowd.

The theme of this trip was "two thumbs up"!

Shannon couldn't believe she met the "real" Cinderella!

At breakfast, Bell saw Shannon waiving and came to our table first!

Shannon was so "star struck" when she met Snow White that she forgot her name. When Snow What asked Shannon what her name was, she replied: "Snow White...... I mean... Shannon!".

Here's a picture of Shannon with her favorite princess (at least this week), Aurora.

Here's Shannon with the Fairy Godmother.

We met Mickey Mouse!

We went on the flying carpet ride.

We met princess Jasmine, but we were afraid of Aladdin and Genie.

...but, when Shannon wasn't looking, they snuck into the picture anyway!

Shannon met a friend, Bella, the day before in Epcot. It turns out, they both had appointments at the same time for the Bippity, Boppity, Boutique to be made up as princesses.

Shannon was very excited. This was her favorite part of the trip.

Shannon didn't complain when the hair dresser took the knots out of her hair.

Wow, Shannon is looking like a princess already...

...blowing her nails dry...

At the end, they turn her around in her chair so she can see what she looks like. This is a picture from the mirror.

Later that day, we took a safari ride and saw lots of animals at the Animal Kingdom.

Shannon and Mommy pose with Jiminy Cricket.

Shannon gives her best Gorilla imitation.

Our little princess... just enjoying the day!

I met my friend, John, who I used to work with but now lives in Florida.

We went to MGM the next day. Out of the large crowd, they picked Shannon to be the princess of the day and gave her VIP seating and presented her with a rose in front of an audience of thousands. Unfortunately, the man in blue stood up just as Maureen took this picture.

Here's Shannon showing the rose she was given from Bell with her VIP pass.

We saw Mike and Sulley from Monster's Inc.

Then we had lunch at the Sci-Fi theater.

Shannon was calling her Mema while we were waiting for a table at the Boardwalk.

Back to the Magic Kingdom on our last day.

We met Timon and Rafiki.

At lunch, we met Tigger!

...and Pooh...

...and Piglet... Shannon said that Piglet was bigger than she thought he'd be.

Finally, we met Eeyore (Maureen's favorite).
