hook, line, and sinker

I'm pretty sure it doesn't get more commercialized than Mickey Mouse ears on a Lightning Mcqueen hat but somehow I don't think Ian minds the sellout.  I'll admit that we were all caught up in the moment.  Maybe it's the marching bands around every corner, or being chauffered from an ice cream shop to a castle in a horse-drawn carriage.  Whatever pulls you into the park, the intoxicating giggles and tight squeezes of little fingers as they take in each new surprise, keep you spellbound.

First view of the castle
 Madhatter fun
Still in shock chatting with Alice
 Reliving the excitement of the first roller coaster
 Time to fly
 My copilot
 Little prince with Cinderella
 License to drive
 Being schooled in the Jedi arts
 Practicing proper light saber technique
 Preparing to fight Darth Vader
 May the force be with you young Ava
She will not turn to the dark side
 "What do we do with this?  I don't know, I guess we're Jedi's now.  Ok."
 Who needs a light saber with these smiles?
 Glowing after Rapunzel blew her a kiss
 Celebrating with cotton candy
 Getting ready to defy some fears
 A kiss for Mickey
 M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!
 Cars land for a transportation loving boy
 Luigi's flying tires with Auntie Annette
 Look at that smile!  She is a joy magnet.
As the kids get older the experience changes but it's just as good as when I first saw the castle through my six year old eyes.
