Disney World
















I took about 500 pictures so I tried to pick some of my favorites. We arrived in Disney on Sunday and went swimming at our resort, then off to Downtown Disney to shop and eat at Planet Hollywood. Monday we tackled Magic Kingdom. We got there when it opened and planned on spending the whole day there, but by 5pm we were worn out and decided to go back to the hotel and swim and relax a little before heading to dinner at Chef Mickey's. We got to see and get autographs from Mickey, Minnie, Goofey, Donald, and Pluto. It was really fun. Tuesday we went to breakfast and got to take pictures with Cinderella, Belle, Aurora, Ariel, and Snow White. Then we spent the whole day at Epcot and got to see the fireworks show there. Wednesday was Hollywood Studios where we ate at the Sci-Fi Dine in Theater which was neat. We sat in old cars and watched old drive in movies. We saw a fun parade there and some neat shows. Thursday we had 8am breakfast reservations which Alyssa and Danny were not thrilled about, but they got up and we made it. There we saw Pooh, Tigger, Mary Poppins, Mad Hatter and Alice in Wonderland. The autographs were just about full. Then off to Animal Kingdom. There were some animals there that we don't have here and the tree of life is really interesting. My favorite show was there, The Festival of the Lion King. On our way out it started raining so we had to ditch our plan of swimming at the hotel and go shopping instead. They have a big outlet mall there which was the highlight for Alyssa. Emma loved it all. She says we're going back when she's 8 which Danny actually agreed to so I guess that says he had a good time too. It was a great family vacation.
