The Magic Kingdom

The big finale to our trip was a day at the Magic Kingdom.  We took it slow and checked out all the new attractions that opened this year, including Gaston's tavern and the Beast's castle in Fantasyland:

Visiting Mama Jumbo

They had fun snacks in the Big Top

We had a nice lunch break at Cinderella's castle.  Abby was excited to see all the princesses although Benji refused to leave his seat when they came to our table, declaring "I can see you from here" to every character that asked him for a hug:

The Wishing Ceremony

After lunch, we explored Tomorrowland and then settled in for the parade:

We ended the day poking around Adventureland and then having dinner at the Crystal Palace with Pooh and friends.  Benji was all to eager to jump up and snuggle with them (guess princesses just aren't his thing):
