Our trip!

Our trip is all posted now. You can read about day 1 to 7. I hope you enjoy. Ben is finally getting over the stomach bug and my Sinus Infection is ending too. We all had a great time! I have a hundred more pictures. The kiddos filled their autogragh books. I need to make pictures at Walgreens and put together my disney book by the end ot the month. Wish me luck!

Our Trip to Disney 2011



Our trip began at 5:15 am on Jan. 28th. The kiddos got up at 5am and were much happier then I thought they would be. Our limo arrived at 5:20. We headed to the airport. The temp was 16' and snowing lightly.








Waiting at the airport. Our plane took off at 7:10am.




We arrived in Orlando at 9:25am. Our luggage went to the hotel and we took the Magic Express Bus to the hotel too. Luckily for us the bus came very quickly. We stayed at the Caribbean Beach Resort. Our room was a pirate room. It was pretty cool, but not worth the extra money. The frig was inside of a big barrel.

We spent a lot of time on a bus going from park to park. You also had to take a bus to get to the eatery in our resort. It was kind of a pain.





The first Kingdom we went to was Epcot. As we were walking we saw Donald by Mexico. Ben was asleep but the girls were happy to get his autograph. We had dinner in Norway with the Princesses. Ben and Tony got a special cupcake for their bday. Katie got to see Ariel and Maddie saw Belle. We also did the Kim Impossible Game. That was a tons of fun. The kiddos were very tired. Everyone was in bed by 9:30. Fast asleep by 10. The weather was great. You only needed a light jacket at night.


Maddie was dressed up as Aurora and Katie as Ariel. Ben had on his Woody and Buzz shirt.




Disney Day 2

On Saturday we had a late start. We needed to change rooms due to the fact that it smelt very musty, no matter what we did. That took all of forever to move from one room to another. The new room smelt less but had a mold problem. We were not happy with the resort on the whole.

Our first stop was Downtown Disney.

Here is our x-mas card. We still haven't taken one.
There was a Woody made out of Lego's. Ben loved the Buzz and Mr. Potato Head. We got some attachments for Mr. Potato Head, Darth Vader, Buzz and Storm Trooper. We also got a Tinker Bell for the girls.










We had lunch at the T-Rex Restaurant. It is like the Rain Forest Cafe but with dinosaurs. The food was great and not too pricey. There were dinos everywhere. The kiddos loved it. They also have a build a dino store. That was pricey. Ben got ice cream and a cookie for his bday.



We went on a hot Air balloon air. The balloon was attached to the dock. Boy was that a fun 7 minutes.




After lunch we moved onto Magic Kingdom. We saw the electric parade. It was a big hit with everyone. Ben loved the Dumbo ride. I love the kiddos at the 3D show. We closed the park.

Disney Day 3

On Sunday we headed to Hollywood Studios. We ate at Hollywood and Vine for lunch. We had lunch with June, Leo, Handy Manny and Agent Oso. Katie and Tony rode on the Tower of Terror. Katie was not a big fan. We saw the Pixar Parade. Ben was so happy when he saw Buzz and Woody. Maddie had fun pretending to move luggage.









We show the Beauty and the Beast Show. Meet Buzz and Woody. Ben was all excited until we got up close then he just kept and eye on them.

We spend most of the day there. Later in the evening we got a crazy idea to go to Magic Kingdom, via Epcot. We took the boat from Hollywood to Epcot. There we checked out the Nemo ride. We did the "Talk with Crush." Maddie got to talk to Crush. We left there at took the monorail to Magic Kingdom. It was quite an evening. It was MK late night. We missed the fireworks because we were running from ride to ride. The kiddos had a great time. Our feet were extra tired that night.
