Disney World

In May we had the wonderful opportunity to go to Walt Disney World with Reid's grandparents, brother and his family. We had such a wonderful time and will never forget the fun we had and the memories that we made. We totally surprized the kids with this trip they had no idea we were going. We even flew to Florida and had a couple hours to kill in Florida before we told them where we were going. We met up with Reid's grandparents and let Grandmama tell the boys. Cameron threw his hands in the air and jump up he was so excited, the other two didn't quite understand until we explained it to them.
We started the first day off at Hollywood studios and the kids were so excited. When we first walked in there was a Mickey up on a huge statue and Owen put both hands up in the air and pointed and said, Look there's Mickey!" it was so stinkin' cute. We were able to go to a character lunch at the Hollywood and Vine Play and dine, the boys loved seeing all the characters and had a hard time eating because they were so excited. We also hit the perfect character spot and saw like 20 or so charaters in one spot. Thanks to Reid's cousin Bekka! The boys also got to do the Jedi training and got to fight Darth Vadar, it was awesome. Cameron was so brave and even rode the Tower of Terror and loved it. I was really nervous about letting him go on it thinking it would freak him out but he loved it.
The next day we went to the Magic Kingdom, we had such a great time the kids loved seeing the castle and everything. We rode most of the rides there and even waited to see the Princesses for my nieces, that was he longest wait we had!
The next day we went to Animal Kingdom where we had a character breakfast, the food was so good and the kids once again loved seeing the characters come to each table. The safari was a big hit with all the kids. After Animal kingdom we headed over to Downtown Disney to go to the T-Rex Diner, it is just like the Rainforest cafe but has dinosaurs instead of the rainforest animals. The boys thought it was really cool.
The next day we went to Epcot, where we had another character breakfast with the princesses. The boys weren't as thrilled with the princesses but still had a great time. Our favorite part of Epcot was seeing all the different countries but our most favorite was the Germany section. We ate at the Biergarten and had a german buffet and I must say it was delicious. Bekka came with us and danced with the boys and we just had so much fun.
The next day we went back to Magic Kingdom. We got to see some more characters and got some more autographs. The highlight of the trip was the Magic Kingdom firework and dessert party, we got to sit on a balcony with a clear shot of the fireworks and got to eat a bunch of yummy desserts. It was so awesome and the firework show brought tears to our eyes, it was the best way to end our trip for sure.
The next day we took our time getting ready to leave and went to downtown Disney for a last lunch with Grandmama and Papa at Planet Hollywood! So fun!
We had such a wonderful trip but I don't think I will be going back for awhile it was exhausting and so hot but I will never forget the looks on my boys faces as they got to experience everything, they were priceless!!!
