"Did you ever think we'd live this life?" oof, that got me

[@bethgood3214]

ScoobaMusic you can tell they feel blessed & not taking their life for granted.

[@gigicachee9196]

Ashley looked liked she was trying so hard not to cry. It made me cry!! So so sweet!! Lee was great with Mickey!!

Great to see you back at the parks! I remember our first trip with a child, and then with two, and then with three! A lot of people say ‘why take them so young? They won’t remember it’. They probably won’t remember, but YOU will - forever. You’ll always remember watching their eyes light up as they take their first look down Main St or the first time they see a character walking by. It’s truly amazing.

[@SeeYaReelSoon]

You totally get it!!! Our thoughts exactly. ❤️

[@jasoncarpenter7007]

Excellent explanation!

[@sarahsmith4918]

Lee meeting Mickey is just the cutest thing!!

[@alicemarks7244]

Ashley is adorable. When her son sees Mickey for the first time, she is holding her tears.

[@MGorches68]

OMG! Your face Ashley when Lee saw Mickey for the first time and his little face! Most magical moment yet!

[@lizapowell8253]

Lee meeting Mickey was just precious. Love seeing it through his eyes.

[@haleyblank4096]

I don’t know what was cuter Lee meeting Mickey at Magic Kingdom or them waving at each other from the balcony ❤️❤️

[@lomographylillian]

My favorite was Joe saying that he loves that Ashley is still her fun loving self... You are the sweetest couple and such a happy little family!

[@krismiller4092]

When I seen Ashley holding Lee before he met Mickey I got teary-eyed and stay that way until she said "did you ever think we'd live this life" 💙 love you guys thanks for sharing Lee's first trip with us. There's nothing like Disney through the eyes of a child.

[@TheDisneyDoubleDose]

Watching this while sitting at a Casey’s Corner table in Magic Kingdom! 🙌🏻

[@SeeYaReelSoon]

Okay, that’s just AWESOME!

[@systemler44]

Ashley and Lee with micky.. Oh my God that melted my heart.. So sweet

[@1greatassistant]

Your child is so darn cute! My husband and I were watching this episode and commenting to each other that it is super cool to see the transformation of a young couple at Disney to a family at Disney. My husband said: " That kid is so sociable that you'd think that they cast him for this role". Lol . Thanks for sharing !

[@Diandra0410]

Lee dancing in front of the band was so cute. I started tearing up when Lee met Mickey, such a precious moment! Thank you so much for choosing to bring us these videos. Seeing your beautiful family makes me happy 💜😊

[@WaltOGrams]

I'm not normally one to get sentimental, but yer wee lad meeting Mickey was one of the lovliest things I've ever seen.

[@JLKMEK]

Lee peeking under that curtain was oddly enough my favorite part!

[@Allyopps0722]

Melted my heart when Lee hugged Mickey.

[@Justaroundtheriverbend]

Oh my gosh is there anything cuter than Lee meeting Mickey for the first time?! I teared up watching that, it was so sweet and watching Joe and Ashley with Lee makes my heart happy! I could see Ashley getting a little emotional while Lee was getting ready to meet Mickey but I don’t blame her :)

[@AlexandraSmith220]

I could not stop smiling during his interaction with Mickey😍

[@TheCaitertot]

I’ve been a silent watcher/supporter for the last 5+ years. Can’t begin to tell you how happy and special it was to me, someone who doesn’t even know you, when Lee met Mickey for the first time. Thank you so much for sharing your trip once again ❤️

[@evelynschairer6059]

I sat at home watching Lee. I couldn’t help but smile 😊 and laugh at his interactions at the park for first time. Loved the way he was with Mickey Mouse 🐁. Keep taking your time with him.

[@CarmenandBrian]

Wow Lee has such a sweet personality! He was so cute meeting Mickey!

[@michellebates3417]

oh my Lee's reaction to Mickey was precious.

[@MouseEaredWorld]

Lee enjoying meeting Mickey and smiling at the characters is the cutest! So glad he loves them! What a treat that would be to be that close to magic kingdom to walk, loving watching this trip!

[@bettijomaness1878]

Oh my gosh that little dance with the band. My heart. ❤️

[@georginatroch5292]

You guys are the sweetest! Lee’s first Mickey Mouse date was amazing, too see how quickly he realised how nice he was and then didn’t want to leave! That’s Disney magic right there!

[@GirlOnFire1990]

Lee is already a Disney pro! Can I just say my heart just melted when he wouldn’t let Mickey go!❤️❤️ Can’t wait to see more of y’alls adventures!!

[@ohambs]

There is nothing like the joy and happiness from watching your kids enjoy Disney. Love the style of the videos and how they are for Lee ❤️

[@cngash8504]

Lee meeting Mickey made my day. I smiled the entire time. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with Lee.

[@plainmainaccount5554]

It’s so cool seeing you guys as parents now! And Lee is absolutely adorable.

[@sammccarthy957]

Such a lovely precious moment seeing Lee meet Mickey for the first time. Made me think of the first time my two boys did the very same thing. Treasure these memories. My oldest son is now 16 and how the time flies! Thank you for sharing your videos with the world. Much love to you all. ❤️

[@rhinorinehart8066]

Lee is a very cool kid ! When he started dancing during the bands music, we both cheered him on. His experience with Mickey had me smiling and Doris tearing up . We feel privileged to be able to watch his, and your, time together . Thanks for sharing, love yall…..R & D

[@julialilley9562]

He was so cute and comfortable with Mickey! It was adorable

[@brittanyburns6473]

Aaaawww I think Ashley got a little teary eyed while waiting in line for Mickey! So sweet! Looks like Lee is a pretty easy going little guy, didn't get scared or cry when he saw Mickey. That can be scary for some little ones, but not him! He's a brave little guy!

[@1978rga]

Lee was a natural Disney fan! My heart melted when he met Mickey! I'm sure many of us can say that our young ones were not so welcoming meeting characters at first. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@missangelalexis]

Seeing Lee meet Mickey brought tears to my eyes! What a special moment! And a fun moment with the Chef Mickey gang coming out to say hi!

[@kristinaconti9676]

I love these vlogs with Lee just as much as your old ones..if not more!!! As a mother to 2 little boys myself, they are very touching to watch! ❤️

[@codekat6515]

I teared up too when Lee saw Talking Mickey! Thank you so much for sharing Lee's first visit to see the Mouse!

[@loisperillo6672]

I will never be able to tell you how much joy you are bringing to my life! Lee is adorable and I can't wait to see more!!!!

[@SeeYaReelSoon]

Knowing that brings US so much joy!!!

[@mrsmumaw]

When he sees Mickey for the first time I totally teared up!! ♥️♥️

[@coleam5]

This video is SO magical! I absolutely adore the clip of you two reading to Lee. He's going to treasure these videos forever. You're such great parents and I appreciate you sharing these experiences with us! 💙💙💙

[@lorenaarias1952]

Ok, it’s official, these are my favorite videos now! I loved Lee’s face when he saw Mickey! And Mickey was awesome with Lee.

[@nanas.7442]

Lee dancing to the band playing was adorable.. Reminds me so much of back in the 80s experiencing disneyworld with my two little ones. It was wonderful. Thank you !, I enjoy watching so much.

[@jennifernerad1759]

I cried SO many times while watching this! So many sweet moments! We all loved you guys before, but seeing you with little Lee, and experiencing the magic as parents is such a beautiful thing! It brought back so many memories of the first time we brought our kids to WDW. Although it can be stressful sometimes, there is NOTHING like seeing the magic of WDW through your children’s eyes! 💙 Keep the Vlogs coming, guys!! 🙌

[@lospollitosthree]

Lee is sooo cute! We love your family. You both are so calm and that makes for a calm baby. I would have been panicking with the hats! I watched in amazement as you told Lee to start putting them back and he did! You two are such great parents! When I saw Lee and Joe wearing matching turtle backpacks it just melted my heart. Ashley is the best mom ever!

[@mauiguy6710]

Lee with Mickey. . . so adorable! ❤️

[@nomoreclingingvines5223]

This video was so needed right now. The first time with Mickey was adorable and I didn't think it could get any better than that and then Mickey Mouse started interacting with Lee from the balcony in the contemporary. That was an amazingly beautiful magical moment for baby's first time in Disney World. I'm thankful you decided to share your trips with us again. Thank you.

[@karib3909]

I actually cried when Lee met Mickey. So adorable! Can't wait to see more videos 💕😭

[@jessiechancellor275]

Lee is precious! So sweet seeing his reactions to the characters! :)

[@Kaybuxx]

All it took to like Mickey was a poke of the nose! Haha that was precious

[@heidischoening1579]

Awe, i missed you guys! I teared up seeing Lee meet Mickey for the first time ❤ special moment

[@suzannehare9016]

Oh bless him, Lee was brilliant with Mickey, such a lovely moment for you all x

[@debrapenney4281]

So was Ashley crying or laughing after meeting Mickey while leaving- I know I had something in my eye after Lee was warming up to the big cheese! What great parents you are. Lee is one lucky boy!

[@ChasingTheMagic]

Lee is just the sweetest!!!

[@sandyednie4342]

So many things to love! The snippet of the "Letter of the Day" from Sesame Street was funny. My son comes running when he here's that song come on TV. Seeing Lee dancing when the marching band playing was adorable! I'm so happy that you had such a great experience with Lee's first visit with Mickey. I know first hand how big of a deal it is, and what magical memories are gained. Thank you for sharing!!

[@TheWildsDisneyFamilyWDW]

Lee makes it so magical love u guys. I could watch Lee all day.

[@bunsenhoneydew347]

This is so much fun watching Lee’s first trip...and your first trip as parents! Those pins are definitely justified. Lee is stinkin’ cute man...his subtle dancing, his face that lights up when he sees Mickey...super cute. And Bay Lake Tower looks AMAZING! So jealous!

[@biancakamps1578]

Love to see lee dancing. And I get emotional to when lee met Mickey for the first time. And seeing Ashley has tears in there eyes, Nice to see that you share the magic with you're son This summer i go to Disneyland Paris with my son and my parents. he is 6 years. It is his first time also. For me it is almost ten years a go when I visit the park for the last time. I went from 1996 to 2008 three times a year. I think I will drop some tears to when i walk there for the first time with my son. And I can't wait to show him the magic. Thank you both for sharing you're memory's with us. Looking forward for next Wednesday to see another episode.

[@claireandco15]

It makes my heart SOOO happy to see you all back at Disney (and on KZbin!) and with Lee! You are wonderful, loving people and such amazing parents to him. 💜

[@sharondemello7793]

I teared up a little when Lee met Mickey, I’m not going to lie. 😅 so heartwarming. Thank you for sharing!

[@ClaireFreedomStein]

oh my goodness, so many happy tears watching lee and you guys, Mickey & lee are best buddies already, totally melted my heart, you guys are doing so great at this

[@johnhicks7057]

What a fun day at the Magic Kingdom. Love watching Lee and both of you react to all that’s going on around him. And it’s good to see you guys back in your natural setting. I love the turtle.

[@EverydayDisneyMagic]

Lee went full Disney!! Love the dance moves! Love the Mickey interaction! His smile was priceless! Best part of Bay Lake is the distance to Magic Kingdom! You can't beat it! Awesome pin! After staying at Contemp/Bay Lake for so many years I never knew the characters went upstairs, outside of Chef Mickey! Imagine opening your room door and walking out and seeing them! That's magical! Another awesome video! Thank you for sharing with us! Love how both of you are so appreciative of everything!

[@erinp8843]

Oh my goodness, I just LOVE this so much!!! Lee's first meeting with Mickey was adorable! Ashley I saw you getting teary-eyed when he first saw Mickey! I was the same way, cried when my kids saw the castle for the first time. This is so adorable - thank you so much for sharing!

[@alexisamodio8064]

This video is why SeeYaReelSoon is my favorite thing to watch on Wednesday’s! Thank you Lee Ashley and Joe for sharing your memories so far! I hope to one day get the chance to meet all three of you next time you go to Disney!

[@1991backintime]

Perfect timing! I was just getting excited realizing that it was See Ya Lee soon Day!!

[@Ashley-if4rt]

I've watched you guys since day 1 and you guys are still my favorite vloggers on youtube! I introduced you guys to my family years ago and now we talk about your family as if you were one of us. :D We're so happy to see what amazing parents you have become and what a sweet boy Lee is growing to be. I know you guys were worried about your vlogging style changing but to be honest, I really don't see a difference. As Joe said, Ashley's fun loving side is still there. Never stop doing what you guys do. You bring so much joy to my life and my families life. Thank you for sharing your amazing family with us! You guys are the best!!!

[@paisleynightowl]

Lee is uber cute! I love that you guys are transparent with the fact that "Yes, things are a little different". I truly missed your videos and really happy to see you back. You'll be experts again in no time! Can't wait for more. This trip is bringing me joy since I'm still planning to go with my hubby and 3 kids for the first time. You guys are awesome parents.

[@jodiebrook9579]

That was so special that I teared up a bit. Your family is so precious. He’s a very special little man. Thank you for sharing your moments.

[@Mackenzie865]

Lee seeing Mickey both times was the cutest thing!

[@PartyofFour_]

Aww Lee meeting Mickey for the first time was so precious!! He's such a smiley boy!! Loved his little dancing to the band too, he seemed to be taking it all in so well! Great first day!!x

[@basicleighdisney5643]

I seem to have gotten some pixie dust in my eyes...and I have a feeling that darn pixie dust will be back next week when Lee gets his first hair-cut! Y'all are killing me here, but I'm loving it so much!! ❤😭❤😍❤

[@Jamie_Jewel]

I started tearing up watching Lee with Magician Mickey and Chef Mickey! It’s my niece’s first time in a few weeks and I cannot wait to see her reaction!

[@SeeYaReelSoon]

Ahhh we are so excited for her!!! Will you be going with her?

[@Jamie_Jewel]

SeeYaReelSoon Hopefully! Disney is my NUMBER ONE obsession so it’d mean the world to me if I were there for her first time

[@kristinaboccella9799]

I'm not crying your crying!!!! I've missed the vlogs! Glad to see you back and that Lee is having such a great time with great parents!!!!

[@magicallymanda5109]

This is so adorable! Seeing Lee hugging Mickey with Ashley really got me to cry those happy disney magical tears! Been watching you guys for years and this just feels incredibly magically. So precious! I cannot wait until next Wednesday! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@joepalmer300]

I followed your Disney vlogs before, but the addition of Lee is amazing! Congratulations! You’re a beautiful family! It’s so special to experience Disney through the eyes of a child.

[@ysolla]

Beautiful family with amazing memories! Thank you for sharing... love Lee's little wiggle when he dances!

[@BeautyGlamx]

Baby fever is so real watching these 😍

[@pompom616]

I love how appreciative you are. Sometimes we just take our Disney life for granted. Can't wait for more.

[@phillipwest4352]

wow lee is such a brave person to meet Mickey for the first time! and ashley and joe are parents! congrats guys!! lee u real soon! lol!

[@maryneal925]

I am so happy that you guys are back!!! Lee is so adorable. I was teary eyed when he met Mickey. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@samanthaescobedo1393]

I usually never leave comments, I've been a subscriber for a long while now, and watching this video made me ugly cry. Just because you are a beautiful family and I wish to someday have this life too. I did the Disney College Program in Spring 2017 and watching Lee meet Mickey made me happy cry because it makes me miss being a cast member. I miss bringing magic to kids like Lee and I am so grateful to you guys for sharing these special moments. Also, quick thank you for giving applause-o-grams to cast members! It's sort of rare for guests to take time out of their vacation to recognize others so doing so is a pretty huge deal!

[@ReneeGaud]

I bet that was a great picture they got of Lee w/ Mickey. DVC has been one of the best purchases ever and I'm sure it will be for your family. In the 8 years we have had it now, we have taken wonderful trips and stayed at different DVC properties. We have stayed at Aulani (our hands down favorite) and also took the cruise when my twins were 5. You have some wonderful adventures ahead of you!!!

[@SeeYaReelSoon]

We’d love to stay at Aulani one day! Aulani is my brother and his wife’s home resort.

[@katiecinderella2553]

Really enjoying Lee's reaction to Disney World...

[@nataliehill4727]

y'all give me tears. I'm so excited to see the rest of these! I know that you were both nervous about people thinking this is weird being different, but I think you need the affirmation that everyone is loving it, and loving the newness of these vlogs! And we can tell how much more special they are and are going to be from now on! Love you J&A, and Lee!

[@skylarmcmahon5139]

I think I just died of Lee cuteness watching this

[@bluescity1]

Yay!! Time to watch See Ya Reel Soon! I look forward to Wednesday with great anticipation. So excited. Just watching your precious family makes me cry. Your new introduction warms my heart. Lee is just so adorable. True blessing. From one Disney fanatic to another, have a magical day sprinkled with pixie dust! :-)

[@rach5516]

Lee blowing kisses to Mickey was heart meltingly cute!!

[@mariaf.]

Tears welled up when Lee met Mickey for the first time what a amazing beautiful moment

[@mamalipster6923]

Wow Lee did amazing with his first character visit. After working for years managing and Santa and Easter Bunny set taking photos its normally hit or miss when they are that age on if they will be ok when meeting something so big and overwhelming. What a trooper and so super excited to see them again later on. That always makes the trips much easier and more enjoyable. Looking forward to the next vlog.

[@bech2896]

That was the sweetest ending ❤️

[@debrakrook1045]

So happy for you guys! Welcome to DVC❤️ I was tearful when Lee met MM! We took our grandson when he was 18 months old, with his parents too. When we got home, we made a hardback book of our trip photos and he loves it!

[@Matyme]

This is really making me so excited for when I have my first baby. He is so sweet!

[@jci1685]

I am watching this entire vlog with a huge smile on my face! It is so wonderful watching you guys there with your son. We are so used to just the two of you... it really is so magical watching Lee take it all in! I actually got to meet you guys on your last trip in Nov 2015. This is just amazing!

[@JenniferA2027]

The entire video I was remembering how many wishes you guys have made together at WDW and was thinking how amazing that you’re getting to live out every single one of them. ❤️ Enjoy every second of your amazing life together! Much love!!!

[@tammymason284]

We feel the same way! (Like did you ever think we would live this life) we live in Celebration and hear fireworks every night from our house! It’s a dream come true! Blessed! I love your videos!!!

[@camachotravels]

Man this is bringing back so many great memories. It seems just the other day my boy was that age and we were doing exactly the same thing with him. We'd go every year and we'd notice my son develop or change in some way immediately after the trip. As if the Disney Magic sparked some serious brain growth, it was amazing. Now he's 13 and we look back at the trips we planned and the great times.

[@gnaquin1]

It’s Wednesday!!! Time for our family to watch one of our favorites!!! Lee is so cute!!!

[@oliverstally]

Ashley I was welling up watching you see Lee with Mickey for the first time. We take our two year old to Disneyland Paris for the first time in October and I will be a wreck. We love these new vlogs and thank you again for sharing them.

[@terryschwartzkopf6022]

So many precious moments... Again, so happy for you. I love that you don't take the big or little things for granted. Thanks for sharing the magic!
