Disney World Part 2


This was such a great trip.  Every trip to Disney is such a different experience.  I just love that no matter how may times we go each trip is unique and special.  

We were at Disney World for a total of 9 days.  This was a really cool because we were able to do Magic Kingdom 3 days and all the other parks 2 days.  Honestly, this might have been a little too long with three little kids but when the vacation was over we definitely felt satisfied and ready to get home.  Well, at least Brad and I did.  I am pretty sure the kids would have been happy to stay another week. At the airport on the way home Jason said he wanted to go to Disney World again.  He is so my child :-) 

EPCOT
This time we really tried to focus on exploring Epcot.  We went into a lot of buildings we have never been in.  This kids loved all the hands on activities in the Innoventions buildings.  They also loved the kidcot fun stops.  At each country around the world showcase they have a little spot where the kids can sit down and color and do a little craft. 

Jason in the Sharks mouth at Sea Base.  This is such a fun building.  It is the building with the Nemo ride.  There is also Turtle Talk with Crush.  The aquarium in there is HUGE! Did you know the tank holds 5.7 million gallons of water!!! There is also this fun hands on fun play area.  And of course plenty of fun fish to look at.  
   

Two words.  MICKEY BAR! Honestly,  I have no idea how many Mickey Bars my children consumed this trip.  I would say probably at least two every day.  After this trip we decided to start a mickey bar budget!


HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS
As our kids get older I feel like we are able to enjoy Hollywood Studios more.  This is such a fun park!  There a lot of fun rides and amazing shows to enjoy.  This year was especially fun because Jason and Bailey were tall enough to ride Tower of Terror.  I was sitting by Bailey and that poor girl.  I have never felt her shake the way she did when that ride dropped! It is was so funny but so sad at the same time.  She said she liked it but did Not want to do that again.  

When we were there the new Cinderella movie was about to come out to theaters so they had to Actual carriage that they used in the movie.  So we got some fun pictures in front of it.  It was so pretty.  I wish we could have sat in it.

The thing we were Most excited for was Jedi Training.  We did this the last time we went and Loved it.  This was probably the only negative to our trip.  It rained that day and the training is on a stage outside so they had a cancel it.  The kids were pretty bummed but they still got to meet Darth Vader.  






ANIMAL KINGDOM
I love this picture.  That probably sounds mean since Bailey is obviously very sad.  But if you look in the back ground in the water you will see something floating.  Bailey dropped Brad's water bottle and was super upset about it.  This picture was taken after she had just finished crying hysterically.  It really was not a big deal.  It is just a water bottle but it really upset her.  

MAGIC KINGDOM
Of course we finished our trip with our favorite park.  Magic Kingdom.  

We tried a new breakfast.  1900 Park Fare.  It is located at the Grand Floridian Resort.  Such a beautiful hotel.  

I am torn with this Character breakfast.   Once we were inside the restaurant I was a little underwhelmed.  And the only character I really enjoyed was Mary Poppins.  She was amazing.  All the others were so so.  But the food was AMAZING! They had such a great variety and wonderful options for children and adults.  
I probably wouldn't do it again but it was fun to try something new.

One thing I really wanted to experience was the newest parade.  The Festival of Fantasy Parade.  I had read so many wonderful things about it.  It did not disappoint.  It was so magical.  The floats were beautifully decorated and like no other floats I have seen before.  My favorite was the Rapunzel float.  Jason Loved the Maleficent float.  It was pretty spectacular.  






Overall, it was a great trip! Disney is something so special to me personally.  I love that I have an amazing husband who is so supportive and has really grown to love it almost as much as I do over the last 9 years and we can share it with our children.
