I was blessed to be asked to travel to Disney a few weeks ago. We loaded up Kleck's camper and headed out to Orlando. It was a pretty smooth trip. Made it in 6 hours. We played Uno, Guesstures and tried Dominoes, ( which wanted to slide around on the table). It was nice to have a refrigerator, bathroom and a place for the kids to lay down and a big screen TV with satillite. We got a laugh when we checked into our resort. We stayed at the Grand Floridian Hotel. It is so nice to be met by so many people who want to make your stay memorable. I am always amazed. We boarded the monorail and headed to Magic Kingdom. We split up so the boys could ride the fun rides with their dad and we girls went off to do girl stuff!
Off to Epcot for a character dinner with Mickey and all of his friends. Family style dinner and delicious! Parker is starting to warm up to the characters! Next day we are off to MGM. Boys off again to ride the rides with their dad. We had a character lunch with Bob the Builder, Jake the Pirate, and many more. Parker loved them. We think the more realistic faces were the appeal for him. It was another delicious buffet lunch. After lunch Weston and Ryan and I went to see Indiana Jones special effects show and then went on to Star Wars. Kleck, Carey, Mallory and Parker did Mickey's Club house. We returned to hotel for some fun swimming time.
The next day we are off to Animal Kingdom for lunch in Africa.....different food, lots of fun meeting the safari theme characters.
Treated the kids to pick out something in gift shop.....Mallory picks this pink hat.....it suits her perfect!
After lunch a decision was made to go to Blizzard Beach Water Park. The boys were determined to do the 120 ft. water slide. A ski lift takes you to the top. They loved it. We girls and Parker did the kiddie section. It had slides and fun baby water features. Everything looks like you are in a winter wonderland. It was a nice day....overcast so no one got sunburned. We did the lazy river and had a fun day.
Later that evening we were off to a princess dinner at the hotel. Mallory was in seventh heaven. Carey had forgotten her Cinderella dress....so we went to the gift shop there at the hotel to get her one. She was so precious...she told her mom that she had seen other little girls all dressed up and she was the only one that was not dressed up. She never complained, asked about her dress, etc., but she had thought about it. She was a true princess and I will never forget how she was having her dreams come true!
Parker had a good time too!!
Later back at the hotel, Parker is caught in the act of robbing the hotel safe!! The kids find the bathrobes provided by the hotel and pose for us! A good time was had by all and many great memories to warm those cold winter days!!
