We did so much while we were there. I don't think we left a stone unturned in Disney. Some of our favorite rides we were able to ride 8-10 times! We thought it was pretty crowded, but what we were told was that it was a slow time. We can't imagine what June or July looks like!
I could write pages and pages on our trip, but I think I will just post tons and tons of pictures and let them tell our story. I did manage to put the pictures in chronological order. We can't wait to go again and I am ready to start planning again!
On our way to the airport. Even though it was 4 am, Ashlyn was still happy. 
Ashlyn walking with Daddy and Auntie in the aiport in Dallas.
On the Magical Express, which is the bus that takes you from the airport to your hotel.
At Downtown Disney, the first night we were there.
Riding on Daddy's shoulders
Waiting at the bus stop
Our first day at Epcot. We LOVED Epcot. 
Ashlyn in a shark's mouth!
Disney wears you out!
They had a little splash park at Epcot. I had an extra set of clothes, so Ashlyn was able to play in it. 
The water felt great on a hot day
She had a blast playing in the water
She got very wet!
Trying on some Mickey ears
Our first day in Magic Kingdom. I loved the way they had it decorated for the fall. I bet it beautiful at Christmas. 
On Main Street, I love that you can see the castle in the background.
Ashlyn's first meeting with a character. She was not liking Tigger much at all. 
Pooh was pretty scary too!
The highlight of Ashlyn's whole trip was meeting Ariel. She was literally starstruck by Ariel. She froze up and was so shy. It was pretty cute. 
Ariel was so sweet and interacted really well with Ashlyn. 
Of course, Ashlyn's Ariel had to be in the photo as well.
Ariel even gave her a hug.
Riding It's a Small World. It was one of my favorites as a child, and Ashlyn really liked it as well.
The hotel we stayed at had an awesome swim area for young children. I thought that the waterslide might be too scary for Ashlyn, but she got right on them. She would have spent an entire day on those slides if we would have let her. 
What fun!
She's like a fish!
Riding Buzz Lightyear
When we first got to Animal Kingdom, she loved riding on her Dad's shoulders.
Pretending she was a monkey on Auntie's back
At Animal Kingdom
Had to get a picture with Jiminy Cricket
This guy didn't scare her as much as Tigger
Waiting in the line at the safari ride. This picture is too cute
Katy and I on one of our favorite rides, Expedition Everest. 
We got lucky and it hardly rained at all. It rained for a couple minutes one afternoon. Ashlyn wanted to wear a poncho
Ashlyn was excited that she got to use her Ariel umbrella.
Both Ashlyn and Auntie enjoyed meeting Marie. 
When we were in Hollywood Studions, we decided to get Ashlyn an Ariel "tatoo". She LOVED that thing. She was showing it off all day. 
In Hollywood Studios
Meeting Minnie Mouse. By this point, she was really warming up to the characters.
One thing that I really remember loving when I went to Disney World as a kid, was the Honey I Shrunk the Kids movie playset. Everything looks really big and it is just like the movie. Ashlyn enjoyed it as much as I did as a kid. It was great place for her to get to run and play. 
That is a big dog's nose!!!!
Riding an ant.
Wearing 3d glasses in line for Toy Story. It is the most popular ride in all of Disney World. It is a really, really fun ride. We were lucky and got to ride in 3 times. I wish we could have ridden it more!
On the Toy Story ride. I don't know why this one was so fuzzy.
Ashlyn ordered off of the kids menu. She got to have her first sundae. She loved it of course!
This is one of our favorite restaurants in all of Disney World. It's called 50's Primetime Cafe. It is decorated to look just like kitchens in the 50's . The waitresses are in character and act like "Mom". They tell you to eat your vegetables, elbows off the table, etc. It's a lot of fun and the food is wonderful!
Enjoying the German band at the German restaurant we ate at.
Dressed up ready to eat at Cinderella's Castle
The adorable princess shoes that I bought her to wear. She got many compliments on them from the princessess.
Meeting Cinderella. She was admiring her dress.
Meeting Snow White for the 2nd time. Snow White is very nice!
Making a wish with her wishing wand
This was on of the best moments of the trip for me. I will never forget how cute Ashlyn was with Ariel. We were told by our waiter, that Ariel is usually not at Cinderella's Castle. He said we got lucky. The princessess stop at each table. Ashlyn was getting so excited waiting for Ariel that she was literally jumping up and down. 
Ariel was great and really interacted with Ashlyn.
Posing for a picture. Isn't the inside of the castle beautiful?
So this was the best moment. Ashlyn had practiced telling Ariel that she loved her. I told her it was time to say goodbye to Ariel. She looked at her and said "I love you Ariel" in a whisper. Luckily, Ariel heard her and said "I love you too princess". She then gave her a big hug. It was the cutest thing in the world!
Riding the Teacups. Ashlyn doesn't get dizzy and really had a blast on this one!
Sitting down for tea in Minnie's house.
