Shanghai, here I come.

BIRTHDAY TOUR 2009, STOP #1

We got back from our Disney cruise in the beginning of January and immediately launched into Michayla's whirlwind Birthday Tour 2009.

The tour opened at The Little Gym in Bay Ridge. The theme was Abby Cadabby. Michayla takes gymnastics at The Little Gym and loves it. Everyone there is fantastic.

Michayla and her girlfriends (no boys allowed unless they were brothers of girlfriends) had a great day playing at the gym and then chowing down on some pizza and cake.

DISNEY DOPPELGANGER

And then it was back to Disney World, where Michayla came face to face with her doppelganger. Mulan was thrilled to see Michayla. I mean, how many kids dress up like Mulan, let alone a cute as punch kid from the actual country?

Mulan was great!! She spent a ton of time with Michayla. They chatted, compared outfits, and became quick friends.

DANCING WITH MICKEY AND MINNIE

And if a full day at Castaway Cay wasn't enough, that night Michayla took center stage with Mickey and Minnie and brought the roof down

A DAY AS CASTAWAY CAY

Michayla had a full day at Castaway Cay. Bike riding, dancing, and overseeing the sand castle project.

And hanging with some stranger characters.

RELAXING AT SEA
