Our Disney Trip

Well let's see!! Where to start?? My dad was nice enough to drive us to and from the airport. We are so thankful for that! Saves quite a bit of money not having to pay for parking!! Our flight was scheduled to leave around 11:00 and land in Florida around 1:30. When we arrived at the desk we found out that we would have a delay and would not be taking off until 1!! Yikes!!! So we had quite a wait but hey better to have to wait for a flight then miss them!! The kids were impatient but not bad at all! Saturday we did not get to enjoy a park due to not arriving and getting checked in until early evening. We let the kids swim for awhile. We stayed at the Carribean Beach Resort which was where we stayed years ago when we took the boys. it is nice but it really is a sprawling place and I had a few minor issues with the room. I think if we go again we will stay elsewhere.

On Sunday we went to Disney's Hollywood Studios. Molly was fantastic in the fact she was not upset at not being able to see Cinderellas Castle for another day! Hollywood Studios was finishing up Star Wars Weekend. So of course Paul and the kids had to check it out!! We had one minor issue that first day that i was praying would not happen every day! Disney Parks have added a bag check area since we went last. So I and Pauls mom had to get our bags searched and they wanted people with no bags to go another way. So I had thought Paul and i agreed upon where we would meet but I really had to search for him!! i think he was a bit upset with me because I was more concerned about getting the kids on some rides( the whole reason for the trip right?) and he wanted to go in all these shops!!! Well it was his luck and my dismay to see that just about every ride had a shop attached to it lol!!!! Molly loved the Star Tours ride and Nick and i went on the Tower of Terror 2 times and I loved sharing that with him!! Oh, we also went on the Rockin' Rollercoaster too!!

The next day was spent at Magic Kingdom. The first character Molly got to meet was Snow White and oh my goodness she was in love lol!!! Snow White took Molly's hands in hers and was pointing at Mollys sparkly gems on her shirt and told her that the dwarfs were the ones who mined those for her and they puit them on the shirts! She also asked Molly about her brothers and if they were princes. Joe declared himself a Lost Boy(from Peter Pan) and Joe said Nick was a pirate. Snow White confirmed he was a good pirate. Nick got to meet Pinocchio too because he was right near the princess. we did manage to hit a few rides that morning and afternoon. We took the kids back to the hotel and let them swim for awhile. We went back after dinner and went on a few more rides then got in our spot for SpectraMagic Molly was awestruck by it all!!!

Tuesday, that day we went to Animal Kingdom. We really enjoyed that park! Nick and I scoped out Expedition Everest first and Paul took Molly,Joe and his mom to DinoLand and they played in the play area there. i talked Joe into going on Expedition Everest after Nick and I rode it first. Joe was scared but admitted he still liked the ride!! Molly and Paul and his mom saw the Nemo show and they liked that. We went on the Safari as well as the Dinosaur ride!! Molly did great thru it all!

Wednesday we went to Blizzard Beach it was fun! Nick went on the huge Water Slide and loved it! We spent most of the day on the lazy river and in the kid play area for Molly! pauls mom rested at the resort that day! When we returned to the resort i did some laundry and the kids swam

Thursday was spent at Epcot! We got the Fastpass for the new ride Soarin' man is that ever a cool ride!!!! I was a bit worried that we wouldnt get on but we were able too! Nick and I waited in line for Test Track while Paul and Molly and Joe, and Pauls mom checked out the "Countries" Well right when it was our turn(after waiting for an hour) a HUGE storm hit and they had to close the ride we went outside and it started downpouring Nick and I had to run into the nearest building, we sat there about 15-20 minutes before it let up enough(but was still pouring out!) for us to get on our ponchos and make our way to find them! After walking around forever we finally spotted them!! molly finished up collecting things for her mask at the last "station" and thats where we ran into Mary Poppins and Alice in Wonderland!

Friday we returned back to the Magic Kingdom and again Pauls mom rested in the resort. We hit all the rides we di not get to the other day and just had a blast!!!

Saturday we did not get to do anything other then packing up and catching our buses and getting our return flight home!! As nice as the vacation was it is always great and comforting to return home!!!
