The Wildlife Warrior, 26, could be seen posing with her brood in front of the Florida theme park's iconic Cinderella castle in a sweet photo shared to Instagram.
Chandler, 28, carried little Grace, four, who was dressed for the occasion in a sparkling frock and a Mickey Mouse hat, as Bindi held her husband's hand and smiled.
'May was an incredible month,' Chandler captioned the family photo.
The former wake-board champion then listed some moments the family shared, including Bindi's shock medical emergency which emerged as a blessing in disguise.

'Visiting my family in Florida, Bindi getting life changing surgery, Oregon adventures, and Disney all together,' he wrote.
'Very grateful,' Chandler finished off the post, which has garnered over 33,000 likes.
Last month, Bindi was rushed to hospital just hours after touching down in Las Vegas for a gala honouring her late father Steve Irwin.
She suffered a ruptured appendix and was raced into surgery, missing the prestigious event she was due to attend alongside brother Robert Irwin and mother Terri Irwin.
Robert told People magazine at the time Bindi was recovering and her mother was at her bedside.
'She's going to be okay, but surgery - out of all the things we were ready for, that was not one of them,' Robert explained.
Terri also missed the event while accompanying her daughter to hospital and staying by her side through surgery.
Robert explained Bindi had been suffering some pain in the lead-up to the gala but had tried to soldier on.

'She came to Las Vegas and was ready to put on a brave face. She said, "I'm just going to tough it out."
'But the surgeon told her, "Your appendix is going. It's got to come out."'
In an Instagram post, Bindi revealed while her appendix was removed, doctors discovered another 14 lesions from her endometriosis. These were also successfully removed.
She also had a large hernia repaired which had developed after giving birth to daughter Grace in 2021.

Glamorous ESPN reporter given huge promotion ahead of new NFL season
ESPN's Laura Rutledge is adding an extra duty onto her plate in the fall as her football season is set to get just a bit longer. Rutledge, who is the host of the network's daily pro football show 'NFL Live', is set to make a move to the sidelines for 'Monday Night Football' each week. She will be joining Lisa Salters - who recently got a contract extension - for all 20 games the network will broadcast this season. They'll work alongside the No. 1 team of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. This would include 17 games on MNF, one of the games in a Week 18 double-header, a wild-card game, and a divisional-round game. Rutledge told The Athletic, ''Monday Night Football' is the pinnacle and it's always been a dream of mine. 'I still get chills every time I hear the 'MNF' music. Really excited to continue to work as hard as possible to earn this role.' Rutledge, age 36, will still keep her roles as the host of 'NFL Live' and 'SEC Nation' The 36-year-old Rutledge, who has previously won Miss Florida, worked a few games as a second sideline reporter for MNF in the past. She also gave plenty of credit to Salters for her help to grow her skillset. 'To even see my name next to Lisa Salters, is an honor,' Rutledge said in a 2024 ESPN Front Row profile. 'For years now, she has been such a wonderful mentor and friend to me.'

Iconic 70s child star dead at 60
As Dee, the sister of Raj Thomas (Ernest Thomas) and daughter of Mabel (Mabel King), she was known for her signature phrase, 'Oooh I'm gonna tell mama!' She later reprised her role for the show's sequel What's Happening Now! which aired for three seasons between 1985-1988. In 19977, aged just 12, Spencer was involved in a five car crash in Malibu that killed her stepfather, Tim Pelt and left her in intensive care for three weeks with a broken leg, arm and pelvis. She wrote in her 2010 memoir, Through the Fire … Journal of a Child Star: 'I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye to my stepfather, Daddy Tim, whom I loved and who taught me show business as a young child in New York.' In 2004, she was diagnosed with spinal stenosis - a condition where the spinal canal narrows, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerves - as a result of her injuries from the 1977 car accident. A surgery left her partially paralyzed for eight months.
