Ten Photos From This Trip That Make Me Smile

   We're back from our annual Autumn trip to Walt Disney World.  This trip was unusual in many ways.  First of all we traveled with a friend who had never been to WDW before, which adds a whole other level of "hustle" to the first four days.  We also divided our stay between Croronado Springs, Animal Kingdom Lodge, and The Polynesian. (and now I'm obsessed with staying at the Poly and want to buy a million more DVC points...)  We tried two new (to us) restaurants Tiffins and Cinderella's Royal Table.  The biggest shake up came in the fact that we ended our trip with an OVER THE TOP RIDICULOUS three day cruise on the Disney Dream with my sister and another good friend of ours.
   So here are ten random photos from this trip that make me very happy when I gaze upon them...

   The most magical moment of each trip is usually the first morning.  In this case we did a proper rope drop, which included us being the first guests on Peter Pan.  However, the highlight was a surprise visit with Ariel.  Amber was beyond excited. 

   Animal Kingdom at night is an absolute pleasure.  The entire feel of the park is different, and the entertainment is amazing.  Though it has mixed reviews, we had a blast on the night time Kilimanjaro Safari.  Can you tell we were excited? 

   I look mad in this picture, but honestly it was just awkward.  I like the new Norway bathroom signs a lot actually. 

   We have spent a lot of time at the Polynesian in the past, but this was our first time staying here. I'm so madly in love with it, and this picture makes my heart smile. 

   Unexpected meet and greet with Tarzan prior to eating at Tiffins. Notice how hard I am trying not to touch him. :/ 

   It's not the same at the Disneyland version, BUT we had a much better experience at Trader Sams Grog Grotto on this trip compared to previous. Plus, I just like this photo. 

   Cinderella's Royal Table went just as expected in every way expect one.  LOOK HOW PRETTY PRINCESS AURORA IS!?!?!  She was an total gem.  (but she did speak in a british accent, which is pretty odd.) 

   You guys have no idea how ridiculous this cruise was.  This picture was taken just moments after getting on board, notice we already have beer. 

   I'm not sure why we look so grumpy here...but we were pretty obsessed with the Icy Pops. 

   Out of all the photos this one makes me the most happy.  I got to spend my birthday on Castaway Cay, my favorite place in the world.  Yes, I ran the 5K on my birthday and it was awesome.  Me and Briana absolutely killed it. 

   This blog has actually helped me trudge through my post Disney depression.  Looking back through my photos always makes me smile, and hopefully the blogs to come will do the same.  Either way, the countdown starts for our next trip! :)
