Disney World

We spent 4 fun filled days at Disney World last week! The weather was BEAUTIFUL and the company was great! Ryan was SO well behaved, especially running on very little sleep and no naps. This was our first trip we have taken with Ryan on a plane since he has been over the age of two. He is such a good traveler and wanted to be in charge of his luggage the entire time.David attended a conference/show/training on Monday and Tuesday so Ryan and I explored Magic Kingdom on our own. We went at a great time since the parks were not very busy. Lines were fairly short so we got to do everything we had planned. Here are some of the highlights...

We got right to Main Street as a parade was coming down...it added to our excitement:

First ride was Dumbo:Teacups:Tomorrowland Speedway: Meeting Mickey & Minnie. These were the only two characters Ryan wanted to meet. He had initially talked about wanting to see more, but once we were there he wasn't interested which was fine (those lines were long). He just wanted to ride the rides:
Exploring Tom Sawyer Island:Astro Orbiter...one of Ryan's favorite ride...Mommy was a bit scared because I felt like I was going to fall out:Goofy's Barnstormer rollercoaster (cute coaster for kids)...Ryan's other favorite ride...we rode it 3 times in a row. I love rides so it was so fun for me to watch him enjoy them as well: Push - the talking trash can: Afternoon parade:Wednesday David was able to join us and we all went to Animal Kingdom. There were only a few rides at this park for all of us to ride, but the shows were absolutely amazing.

We started the morning with the Kilimanjaro Safaris:Ryan's favorite was the crocodiles:Mine was this giraffe...seemed like he was tired of everyone looking at him: David's favorite was these giant fruit bats on the Maharajah Jungle Trek: TriceraTop Spin:Tree of Life:Thursday our flight didn't leave until the late afternoon so we headed to Hollywood Studios for most of the day. Again, there were not many rides at this park, but the shows were fabulous!

Had to meet Lighting McQueen & Mater:Playing at the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Movie Set playground: Lights, Motors, Action Stunt Show...Awesome show...perfect for my car-crazy boys (I'll admit it was amazing too):
We wished we would have had a few more hours at Hollywood Studios since we all enjoyed it so much. I was so thankful I had done a ton of research and talked with several friends...it made the experience so much more enjoyable. The trip ended up being a fun little getaway for all of us!
