Flordia Day 1

While Ty was deployed he arranged a family vacation for us to Disney World when he got back!!! So about a week after he got home we packed up the kids and all the things we could possibly think of to make the 22 hour drive to Flordia. The kids did awesome. No major melt downs or melt downs at all and no whinning. We took it nice and easy and took 3 days to drive there.


We arrived in Flordia on Friday and spent the afternoon getting into our condo (pictures to come on another post) having dinner, and then went and got our 5 day passes to Disney World!!!



Saturday we got up and made the 15 min drive to here!!! We were all really excited and ready to go!


Porter, Landen, Hattie, and Ty on the ferry taking us across to the Magic Kingdom!!!!


Me and the Kiddos posing in front of the Cinderella's Castle!


Our family posing with our favorite Space Ranger Buzz Light Year!! This ride was our all time favorite ride at the Magic Kingdom. Before leaving there we rode it 3 times!!!

Me and the kiddos in front of Minnie's House. I loved this house it was so cute!!!


Hattie sitting on Minnie's dining room chair ready to have a Tea Party with Minnie.

In front of Mickey's house. Have to be honest not as cool as Minnie's house, but the kids still enjoyed looking. At Minnie's you could touch and sit, but not at Mickey's maybe he is a germaphobic.

Going for a Train ride. Hattie rode this way on most of the rides. I think she was sneaking in power naps on the rides, because she never took long naps. We were just having way to much fun. We went on a lot of fun rides including, The many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, it's a small world, we went to the Monsters, Inc. Laugh floor which was a lot of fun. I don't think Landen has laughed that hard and out of control ever. Ty and Landen went on Stitch's Great Escape. The boys also drove a car on the Tomorrowland Speedway. We also went and say a 3D movie Mickey's PhilharMagic. We didn't even get half of the park done, but around 3:00 we decided that it was time to head home have a nap and eat some dinner before we came back for the Fireworks.

On our way out the afternoon parade started and we couldn't get across the road to leave so we stopped and watched it. The kids thought it was great!!

















After our break we headed back to the Magic Kingdom for the light parade and fireworks! This was awesome!! The kids really enjoyed it and the fireworks were amazing. Not to mention we got to see Tinker Bell fly! They really make it feel magical!

This was amazing to end the night like this! We had a wonderful first day!!!

Looks like you guys had so much fun!! We took Leevi when he was 2 1/2 and the Buzz Lightyear ride was one of our favorites, too!

We're taking the kids in a couple weeks (they don't know yet, it's a surprise!). I can't wait! But I've forgotten what all is important to see, or what they kids will like the best. I'll have to talk to you and get pointers for what you guys think were the best things to do. Can't wait to hear more about your vacation!
