Norris family comes to Disney

Jodi, Corey, Emma, and Addison all came to Florida and stayed with us the third weekend in January to experience Walt Disney World. Logan enjoyed the company and got to experience several new parks, rides, attractions and restaurants. The trip started with breakfast at Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary Hotel, one of the Magic Kingdom resorts. We got to meet Donald, Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, and Goofy while enjoying a buffet breakfast.

Over the next couple days, we were fortunate enough to make it to all of the parks including Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, and EPCOT. The weather wasn't the best, but we managed to spend all day experiencing the Disney magic despite the rain and cold weather. One of the highlights of the trip was Emma's transformation at the Bippidy Boppidy Boutique in Cinderella's Castle.

While the girls were dressing up as princesses, Logan was enjoying his time at Disney. Most of the time he spent in his stroller or the girls' double stroller. Because it was cold, he had to be creative with ways to stay warm which included wearing a blanket on his head and eating non-stop. He made it on a couple rides, saw a couple shows, and enjoyed the various park transportation options like parking lot trams, monorails, and the Ferry.

Another highlight of the trip was the Princess Dinner at Norway. Although we couldn't get Addison to pose with any of the Princesses, we did get her to pose with her daddy. We may have to wait for the next trip for her to warm up to some of these Disney characters. Emma, however had a ball and got to meet all of her favorite princesses and get their autographs.

There is never enough time to see everything in Disney, but we certainly got in 3 full days of park hopping. There's always more to see and do next year. For a whole lot of pictures from the weekend, click here.
