Disney World

We had a great time at Disney World! We were lucky enough to be able to visit all 4 parks, Magic Kingdom, Epcot Center, Disney Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom, multiple times actually! The park hopper option on the tickets was put to great use! This is Nan, Jess, and Lex (cousin) looking across the Magic Lagoon at Cinderella's castle! We were waiting to take the ferry boat across the lagoon to get to Magic Kingdom.

We waited in line for 30 minutes to visit with the characters! We got to see a bunch of different ones in the same place! Definitely worth the wait! At the beginning of the week Zach was scared of the characters, but by the end of the week he was begging to go see them! I think visiting Donald, Mickey etc. was the highlight of his trip! Donald REALLY wanted to hold Nate...so he sat down and had us put Nate on his lap! Nate slept right through it!

Here are the kiddos with Mickey! Notice all their own Mickey ears! It was fun to have them pick out their ears...I think each set of ears represents their personalities perfectly! You may not be able to tell, but Jessi's ears are "cheetah" aka leopard print, Nan's are black sequins with a sparkly red bow, and Zach's are Mickey with his tail sticking straight out of the top...very appropriate for each child!

We never actually had a chance to visit with the princesses in person, but we did get to see them in a show in front of the castle. We had the opportunity to see LOTS of different shows! They were all fabulous! I think my favorite was The Lion King Extravaganza! It was amazing! We also saw Finding Nemo, Beauty and the Beast, a bird show, 2 stunt shows, and more! Brennon's favorite was the Indiana Jones Stunt show!

Here's the required family photo in front of the Cinderella castle! We took about 500 of these, and could never get everyone looking at the camera smiling...someone always had a tongue out or was looking away...we won't mention any names but the initials of the person who was being soooo difficult are Z.A.C.H.!!!!

This is our first day, riding our first tram from the parking lot to Epcot Center! Note the well rested and excited look on everyone's face. While the excited look remained through out the whole week, the well-rested look became extinct by Tuesday!

The kids in front of the Epcot ball. I thought it looked like a giant golf ball! It had a pretty cool ride on the inside about the history of communication around the world! At the end it took your picture and invented "your future". The kids thought that was pretty fun!

Here is a picture of Jess and Zach in Bruce's mouth (Finding Nemo...fish are friends not food...apparently he doesn't feel the same way about kids!).

This is how each day ended! Thoroughly worn out and exhausted, but I'm sure they were having fabulous dreams, about the next day which was sure to be as fun filled as the previous!! We had a great time!
