So after what seemed like the longest countdown ever for Havi (and us) we finally landed in Orlando a few minutes before Grandma, Granddad and Auntie Dan landed from England.
Within 10 minutes of getting to the house we were staying in for two weeks, Havi was in the pool - I'm pretty sure she spent time in there every single day we were there.
We had 14 day passes for Disney so over the couple of weeks we went for half a day here and half a day there - with a few long days thrown in too.
Havi met so many characters and filled her autograph book up completely. She loved the rides, even the scary ones like Stitch's Great Escape at Magic Kingdom and Dinosaur at Animal Kingdom. We went on all the roller coaster type rides she was tall enough for a few times - Splash Mountain being the best.
We watched a few parades and Havi would have watched them again each day if we'd let her! Auntie Dan would have probably too :-) Granddad and Daddy, not so much!
The first day we arrived we picked up Havi's Birthday Badge from guest services and she wore it every single day we went to a park - this resulted in "Happy Birthday Princess" from every cast member (the official name for Disney employees) who noticed her badge, and that was a LOT. Even people in the parades themselves wished her a Happy Birthday.
For her actual birthday we had the biggest surprise ever... so much so it gets it's own post HERE!
All in all we had so much fun, relaxed, played, ate and drank (OK, maybe not Havi with the last one!) Between us all we took well over a thousand pictures - check them out HERE if you dare!
