Our beautiful 2 bedroom / 2 bath home
Dining room and kitchen - fridge was filled with drinks and table covered in gifts
Living room
Haven's room
Haven's bathroom was huge with pink tiling that she loved!
She made her star wish and the fairy put it on the ceiling for eternity!
Then she did puzzles with the volunteers
She went to the spa in the castle and got a gorgeous mermaid tattoo, her nails done and her make-up done
Our first day of parks began with Magic Kingdom - Haven's choice for her birthday
First character we meet is Lilo!
Then the Toy Story gang saw us walking and grabbed Haven to hang out with her for a while.
The Jungle Cruise - Haven was initially afraid of this and they even asked her if she would drive the boat. Needless to say - she refused and stayed planted in her seat!
The Flying Carpets - she saw this ride online when she was researching Disney and had to ride it immediately!
Ariel - we were super excited to meet her and they let Haven go right up in the front of the line! It was great.
Waiting to ride Peter Pan
The Castle - we had a great day and because Make-A-Wish kids get an automatic front of the line pass we never waited in line and rode so many things early that we moved on to Epcot around dinner time
Rose & Crown Pub - one of Haven's favorite restaurants. She loves it so much we ate here twice.
They brought her a sundae that she could make herself for her birthday! She had a lot of fun with this.
Sleeping - I can't tell you how many looks I got for this. She slept for about 45 minutes like this. Her only rule is that all of her badges on her necklace had to show.
We walked around the World Showcase while Haven slept. This is Japan
Moracco - one of our favorite. We stopped to see the belly dancer and listen to the band. We have some of their CDs
This is China
Fireworks show. We saw these every night we were at Epcot
The Tree of Life - this is the main exhibit in the center of Animal Kingdom. To walk through this tree is amazing. All the carvings are so cool.
One of my favorite animals - Elephant!
Love it!!!! On our way in to the show Tough to be a Bug!
My girl getting ready to turn in to a bug. This is not her favorite show - the bugs actually sting, spit, and crawl on you. It's crazy what they can do now.
On our safari ride - one of our favorite rides. Our driver was awesome....we hit bumps that knocked us out of our seat. Very cool.
Baby elephant getting water. There are no gates or fences separating you from the animals on the safari. It's just the coolest ride ever.
Oh no....a trap!
Another one of our favorite restaurants in Asia at Animal Kingdom. Yak & Yeti. Haven and I shared honey chicken and jasmine rice while dad had the duck. She also got a cool birthday surprise!
One of the best shows we've ever seen was Nemo. They also saw her Make-A-Wish badge and put us in excellent seats!
Another nap before we finish our day at Epcot!
Another photo of the English country side
We went to Japan for dinner. It was so cool to have them cooking the food in front of us. Haven was completely enthralled watching them make her dinner. She and dad shared shrimp and chicken while I had the best filet mignon I've ever had!
She never took her eyes off him
The fireworks were bright but we came out of dinner right when they were starting. The back of Epcot is closer to the fireworks so it felt like we were in the middle of them.
On Thursday we headed to Sea World.
One of the coolest roller coasters I've ever seen - The Manta
Make-A-Wish children get to feed the Dolphins, Stingrays, and Sea Lions. It was amazing. We've never fed the dolphins and we'd never pet them. One of the trainers brought the dolphins to us and had them sit up and do some tricks for us. It was beautiful.
Each of us got our own basket of fish but we let dad take care of the feeding!
These were hungry dolphins and they had no problems stealing from each other!
The Penguins - they are one of my favorite. I always have to see the penguins. The only problem is that we've seen Happy Feet so many times I just kept thinking about when he was in the case at the park. But these were beautiful Penguins and we stayed with them for a while.
We saw this crazy show at Sea World called Allure. It was amazing the acrobats they were doing. He's holding her here by his feet!
Characters flocked to Haven every where she went. They would see her and come running even if she wasn't in line to see them. Of course, all characters were made to get small when next to her!
My baby - perfect outfit for Sea World.
Haven rode one of these at Dutch Wonderland last year but this one was bigger and she didn't realize that until it was going and going and going. She wasn't the happiest girl when she got off. But it was funny to watch her faces.
Ok...after this I decided I am not made to ride the rides any more. I can't handle the spinning - Haven thought it was great!
