For spring break this year, we took the kids to Walt Disney World for the first time ever! To say everyone was excited (including Mom and Dad) would be a huge understatement! We were looking forward to 6 nights and 5 days of Disney and fun and magic.....and we are not disappointed!!! What a fabulous trip!
 |
| We stayed on property at the Art of Animation resort. |
 |
| The pool at the hotel was a super fun and very nice! |
 |
Our room was decorated in a Lion King theme which the kids loved. This is Grace (and Sam) in her bed which pulled down from the wall...so cool, right!?
|
 |
| We were celebrating Shawn's birthday while at Disney. His Aunt Betty's birthday was also the same week so she and Uncle Russell happened to be there for one of the days we were! What a treat to see them...they'd never met any of the kids before. |
 |
| Ont he evening we arrived, we met Uncle Russel and Aunt Betty at their hotel, The Grand Floridian. We had dinner there, then took a monorail ride, as well as a boat ride. |
 |
| DAY #1 MAGIC KINGDOM |
 |
| Our first stop in MK was to meet Mickey Mouse at the Town Square theatre. |
 |
| Henry and Samuel were both too shy to say hello to Mickey, Grace very timidly met him, while Nicholas eagerly hugged him and even danced the "hotdog" dance with him! |
 |
| Each of the kids chose a hat as their souvenir....Henry's choice couldn't have suited his personality better! |
 |
| Next we met Snow White! |
 |
| She was the first character to sign their autograph books. |
 |
| First ride.....Magic Carpets of Aladdin |
 |
| All of kids' favorite movie is Swiss Family Robinson so they were super excited to climb the replica treehouse! |
 |
| Next up was the Jungle Cruise...super fun and funny! |
 |
| Goofy's Barnstormer! |
 |
| It was the first roller coaster and a big hit with the boys (Grace won't go near a roller coaster)! |
 |
| Mickey's Philharmonic |
 |
| Loving Pirates of the Caribbean |
 |
| Enchanted Tales with Belle...Grace played the part of a tea cup and Nicholas was the footstool/dog (Henry was too shy to participate...he was still scared of all he characters at this point, but did end end really warming up as the week went on). Samuel warmed up to Belle by the end of the show as you can see! |
 |
| Another great one....thank goodness for Fast Passes.... even though it was super busy being spring break week, we very rarely ever had a long wait for anything thanks to Fast Pass and Companion Rider pass system....we love the set up Disney has! |
 |
| Little man Sam was a trooper all day, loving every ride he could go on and being quite patient in general but the heat wore him out! |
 |
| It's A Small World was a favorite with every one in the family....Samuel is still singing the song around the house several months later. |
 |
| Festival of Fantasy Parade |
 |
| Dumbo was also a big hit with the whole fam! |
