Perrin arrived at the Kennison home for a very short visit, only four days. She arrived just in time to join the family for a long weekend at Disney World and Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. After being told of the plans for the weekend she was very excited but a little hoarse from all the cheering the week before! She had already seen two different cities and was ready for the third. We soon learned she is no different than any other child. She barely slept that night knowing that she'd be going to Disney in the morning. As soon as she heard me get up to start packing and make coffee she ran downstairs in her nightgown to help...4am didn't seem too early!
Zarifa showed her the drawer of clothes she could choose outfits from and she soon had her bag packed and ready to go.
We arrived at Disney just as the sun came up. She squealed with delight!
We checked into the hotel and unpacked before heading to Hollywood Studios. She thought the hotel was meant just for dolls like herself!
A wonderful cast member named Jennifer welcomed Perrin with her first visit button.
Hollywood Studios was amazing! She rode all the rides and saw all the sights.
Perrin thinks Aerosmith rocks!
3D glasses make her look sooo smart!
The army men made her feel safe.
Mike Wazowski was a funny Monster!
The At-At walker was huge!
Perrin learned all about Disney pin trading and even got a lanyard of her own. She thought Katee had the best pins all day.
The cast members loved meeting Perrin.
After a long day it was time to head back to the hotel to put on our halloween costumes for Mickey’s not so scary Halloween party at magic Kingdom.
Huge pumpkins!
Riding the monorail was awesome.
We got in just in time to watch the parade.
After the parade we headed straight for the Haunted Mansion. Her develish side loved the guys dressed up as zombies.
We decided to go ride the rides in Tomorrowland. On the way we stopped for the classic castle picture and let Perrin try to pull the sword from the stone.
Zurg was an angry toy!
The next morning Perrin grumbled into the covers when we tried to wake her up.
We let her sleep in and decided to go into EPCOT’s food and wine festival later that day.
We explained to Perrin that she was going to Canada next and let her see some of the cool things there.
On the way out Perrin got to meet the fab 5
Day 3 was an all new adventure! Universal Studios Islands of Adventure is a much higher paced park. After getting tickets we set off to find the thrill seeker within Perrin. She did not disappoint.
The Hulk made her nervous but she wanted to ride.
It looked like she was not tall enough...
Until she stood up on her tippy toes!
Unfortunately she was too small for the seats.
Meeting Dr. Doom should be so fun!
Perrin was wrong, her was big and scary!
The Green Goblin gave her quite a fright as well!
Thank God Captain America came to save the day!
Perrin discovered the lost continent of Atlantis
Perrin said she is as hungry as a dinosaur!
She almost became dinosaur lunch herself!
Perrin really wants to meet Harry Potter.
Hogsmeade is the funnest town!
Perrin was hoping for a ride on the Hogwarts Express...the conductor was ready to go!
On our final day we asked Perrin what she would like to do. She chose to go back into EPCOT to get some daytime pictures and ride the rides. But first a quick stop at Downtown Disney for a little shopping at the lego store.
Legos made just for girls!
Perrin was remembering her last run in with a T-rex!
Epcot here we go...again!
Perrin loves China and the food!
Pyramids in Mexico! The Mayan people were awesome!
Shark bait!
It was a fantastic four days and we will miss dear little Perrin. We look forward to seeing her again in April for a full 10 day visit.
