Disney World 2012- Part 1

Last week we visited Disney World in Orlando Florida. It is a vacation that I will definitely repeat. All 3 of us had such a good time! To remember the vacation, I want to put down what we did each day. It will be long, so you can just look at the pictures if you want. :)

Sunday:
Our plane left at 6am! Mama and Papa were kind enough to drive us to the airport at 4am!! Eeek! Colton was of course too excited to sleep. We checked our bags and didn't have to wait long before boarding our first flight. We had a layover in Atlanta. We landed there at 8:30ish, and grabbed some quick breakfast. It was a fast layover, they were boarding already when we got  to the gate! Colton fell asleep on that plane ride. He did really well on the planes. His ears didn't bother him much. We landed in Orlando at 11:30, got our bags and headed for Disney's Magical Express. This was a bus that took us to the resorts. We got to the resort, Saratoga Springs, and checked in. We grabbed a quick lunch at the hotel and then took a golf cart ride to the room. Mom and Colton napped :) And then we got ready and headed to our first park....Epcot!! We had dinner in a revolving restaurant and saw lots of characters!! Mickey, Pluto, Chip and Dale! It was a great first day:)


Monday:
On Monday, we got up and went to have another character breakfast in Hollywood Studios. At breakfast we got to see Jake the Pirate, Oso the bear, and many more. After breakfast, we headed out to explore HS. Colton got to go to Disney Junior LIVE. So fun to see it on stage. Then we played in Honey I Shrunk the Kids, rode It's a Small World After All and rode our favorite ride of the whole week TOY STORY. It was a kid friendly ride that was dark and you got to shoot your laser at all the toy story characters. It was 3D so we got to wear fun glasses too! He laughed and had such a good time! Dad and Colton beat Mom:) Then we rode the bus back to the hotel and took a nap. That night we headed back to Epcot for dinner. We ate at Napoli's (and Italian restaurant). It was sooo yummy! The best part of the all inclusive meal plan we got was that the meals came with appetizers, the meal and dessert!! So good!! We were stuffed the entire week!!

Tuesday:
Tuesday morning we took the monorail to another resort for breakfast. He loved the "fast train" as he called it. It was a Hawaiian place and the food was really good. The boys loved the juice. ha ha. It was also a character breakfast so Mickey, Lilo and Stitch visited. Then we visited Magic Kingdom. Boy was that place crazy!!! It was so packed. We wound our way back to the rides we knew he would enjoy. He loved the Tea Cups ride. He thought that was fun to spin. The line for Dumbo was insane...almost an hour. Needless to say, we skipped that:( We did ride, Winne the Pooh Honey Pots, It's a Small World, and the Carousal. He had a good time. We ate at a restaurant there and even got to watch the tail end of a parade. He got to buy "duck" (Donal Duck :) ) and a new t-shirt from Magic Kingdom! That night for dinner we took the short bus ride to Downtown Disney and ate at Planet Hollywood! We shopped and Colton got his Mickey ears hat! He was adorable!! Here are some pictures from Tuesday!

Happy Father's Day

Wishing a late Father's day to my wonderful husband, Dad, Father-in-law, and Grandpas! They are all amazing Dad's!

Colton is so lucky to have a Daddy who loves him! My boys are two peas in a pod. They are both monsters. We are in for it I think. He definitely has his Dad's personality....great:) 

Happy Father's day to my amazing husband! We love you!!
