Ava's Birthday Trip to Magic Kingdom

On Sunday, September 8th, Ava's "actual" 7th birthday, we took her and Silas to Magic Kingdom.  Disney had added a new addition to the Magic Kingdom theme park, called Fantasyland.  They built a replica of the castle in the movie "Beauty and the Beast" and there is a fancy restaurant inside.  We had made reservations six months ago to eat there on her birthday, and I think Eric and I were just as excited as Ava was to see the inside of the castle.

Her special pin she got to wear.  She counted, and 10 people said "Happy Birthday" to her.  :-)

Ava and I went on the Tea Cups

Here are some pictures of the new Beauty and the Beast castle in Fantasyland.




Waiting for our name to be called so we can go inside.

The Ballroom, where we were sat to eat.

Daddy and his big 7 year old!

Thank goodness for technology!  Eating a dinner roll and watching Curious George on Mommy's phone.  :-)  It kept him entertained while we were waiting for our food.

The Beast walked out of a door right behind us, and took us all a little by surprise!

The dessert selection......YUMMY!!

Ava picked out what she wanted!

Silas was excited about his too!

Yum, yum!!

They brought out a special treat since it was her birthday.

The Weatherfords with the Beast!!!  Silas was clinging to me pretty tight.  :-)

After we were finished eating and our picture taken with the Beast, we were able to "explore" other parts of the castle.  This was the "west wing" were the magically rose was kept.

You can't really see it in this picture, but it looked as though it was snowing outside.  Super pretty!


Standing in front of the mosaic that is at the end of the movie.  It was a really fun experience!!

Ava bought her first pair of Mickey ears with some of her birthday money.

A beautiful ending to Ava's birthday as we were on the ferryboat leaving the park.
