Mariska took to Instagram to share adorable glimpses of her family having a blast in the iconic amusement park, visiting all of its classic spots like Epcot and enjoying rides such as Guardians of the Galaxy's Cosmic Rewind.

The actress and her husband are quite the good sports, and she shared a selfie of the two sitting front row on the Guardians of the Galaxy ride looking eager as ever to take it on.

Kid-centric as Disney World may be, it wasn't only special for her kids but for her too, as she took part in Disney World's annual Candlelight Processional.

The couple appeared to have as much fun as their kids surely did

The annual holiday event kicked off late in November, and each night, different celebrities have narrated the story of Christmas and the nativity, accompanied by festive songs performed by an orchestra and choir.

Following her narration, the Law & Order: SVU lead shared adorable pictures of her kids enjoying all of the festive "Disney magic," including lit up trains and fireworks flying over the iconic Cinderella castle.

Fans and Mariska's celebrity friends alike gushed over the sweet glimpse into their holidays, with her best friend Ali Wentworth writing: "Looks like the happiest place on earth," as others commented: "What an incredibly beautiful moment captured on camera!" as well as: "A picture full of love and magic and dreams."
