DISNEY WORLD DAY 2

We had breakfast at the cabin and planned out our first day at the Magic Kingdom.


We've got ears, say cheers!




The boys got to model their new Mickey shirts on our first day at the Magic Kingdom. Julian was not quite feeling the magic after an early morning wake up time.




We paused at Liberty Square to take some pictures at the guillotines.




 Daddy and Julian headed to Tom Sawyer Island to explore, while I took Andrew and Ryan to their first roller coaster at the park: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

After a lot of fretting about how scary the ride would be, these two boys were all smiles!


Andrew, Ryan and I then made our way over to check out Tom Sawyer's island and spent most of our time in the fort shooting at the bad guys.




One of the boys favorite things to do at the park was to hunt for treasure in Adventure Land using the special treasure maps. Each map had a series of clues to follow that were activated by the lead treasure hunter's wristband.


We got to check out the Swiss Family Robinson Tree House, Andrew and Ryan would not like to sleep in a tree house because the heights were "freaky".






Somehow we found three horses in a row on the Magic Kingdom Carousel.


In a fitting attraction for our family, we had front row seats for It's A Small World.



We grabbed a quick dinner at Casey's and sat along Main Street to wait for the evening character parade. We got to see all of the favorites.





 We headed back to the castle when it got dark to check out the lights and got to see a Frozen special.






 This was probably one of the best days of our trip, we were able to enjoy so many different attractions and shows and the boys were troopers.

DISNEYWORLD DAY 1

We woke the boys up early and told them we had to take Chris to the airport for a work trip. Andrew was so confused, and Ryan was adamant that he WAS NOT going. Once we got to the airport we said, do you just want to skip school and go to Disneyworld?! Chris and I have been planning it for about....six months? It is a full time job, and I tried not to stress about it too much. I definitely could have looked at the park maps and planned things out better, but it was an adventure.


                                           Goofy in the airport in Orlando!
 We headed right to the Wilderness Cabins to drop our stuff and then on to Hollywood Studios for the day. By 2pm, Julian was exhausted, and by 7pm, the boys were too, but we made it through day one and zonked out.


                                                       Honey I Shrunk the Kids







 Julian was not too sure of Jake at first, but warmed up to him after a few minutes.

                   Disney Junior Clubhouse, which was very poorly laid out for children if you want my honest opinion:)


 We missed Fantasmic so walked back to the back to see the Dancing Osborne Lights, which were incredible, and they said it was their last year to do them.


                    Weird to be singing and dancing to Christmas music in shorts and tanks!


                                                          Day one: Success!
