Disney!

We went to Disney last week and it was GREAT. The weather was perfect, the crowds were manageable, and the kids were excited! We really couldn’t have asked for better Disney conditions! We got up dark and early on Friday to catch a 6:30am flight to Orlando…

GJ met us at the Orlando airport and were at the Grand Floridian by 10am! woohoo!

We headed over to the Magic Kingdom and had a super fun day.

Maxwell’s 2 things he really wanted to do in Disney were 1. ride the Dinosaur ride in Animal Kingdom and 2. get his face painted! So, our first stop was the face painting area next to Space Mountain. They didn’t have the exact tiger and lions on the menu that my boys wanted but, as always, Disney accomodated!

We had fast passed some of our favorite rides but were able to get in several others too because the lines weren’t bad at all. Our first stop was Dumbo!

We then used fast passes for Barnstormer. It was Spencey’s first time on it and he loved it! Listening to him belly laugh through the whole thing was worth the trip!

We then took a train ride around the park…

Hit up the Astro Orbiter…

and used our Fast Passes to drive on The Tomorrowland Speedway!

Robert and I then tried to use our Fast Passes to ride Space Mountain but we got to the front and they had to shut the ride down for technical difficulties. That was ok though because we got two free Fast Passes that Robert used to take Maxwell on Big Thunder! He thought it was AWESOME! We also went on the Haunted Mansion and a few other rides but, we also found plenty of time to just play…

and eat treats!

By about 5pm, my tiger and lion were worn out so we headed back to the hotel.

They were excited to find some new Lion Guard pjs waiting for them (Samantha got new Minnie pjs!) and then enjoyed room service! Fun!

We all got tucked in for a restful night’s sleep – or at least that’s what we were hoping for! Samantha had other ideas!! See you tomorrow!
