The happiest place on earth
So remember, Charlie, Sallie and Finnegan brought a trip for the kids to Disney this year. We had a full on count down that the kids had a blast with. We marked off everyday until it was GO time. It was a super early morning, 4:30 to be exact and the kids were just so excited that they pretty much popped out of bed. The flight was great and we touched down in Florida with freezing and rainy weather. Not exactly what we were hoping for, but it really didn't matter. We seriously had 3 days of on and off rain and cold and only one day with a little sun and warm air. We just bundled up and didn't let it stop us. We did Hollywood Studios on Wednesday. Hayden rode all the big rides, Rock n Roller coaster and Tower of Terror, which we have heard about for weeks. Emerson is completely terrified of the Tower of Terror!! Hayden rode it three times and like it less and less each time he rode it. It was an awesome first day, Bob and Sonia left early with Griffin and Emerson so we could do some bigger stuff with Hayden. We stayed at the "treehouse" as the kids named it. They had a blast sleeping together in the bunk beds. Thursday, we got up, opened the door to more rain and freezing cold weather. We bundled up and headed to Animal Kingdom. We did pretty much everything, well, Hayden did pretty much everything. Emerson is pretty much terrified of all the shows or really anything that is inside. Hayden, with much bribery and a few tears rode Everest, the ride he has talked about since he found out we were going to Disney. After the first time, he LOVED it. We were lucky enough to get to ride it three times that day, he says it was his all time favorite. To listen to him and Emerson talk about the Abominable snowman on Everest is quite humorous only because I don't think Hayden ever opened his eyes to actually see it. We had a great day and since the park closed early, we headed to Downtown Disney for dinner, shopping and then back to the treehouse to head to bed. The next two days were Magic Kingdom, we packed it all in. We did dinner at the Beast's castle, which we were very lucky to get in, we had lunch at Cinderella's Castle, got fairy dust at Bippity Boppity Boutique, rode just about everything possible and saw lots of shows. The kids were absolutely awesome! Griffin just sat in the stroller, bundled in his blanket and just took it all in. It was truly and amazing trip and the kids will talk about it forever. Luckliy, Bob and Sonia were there or it might have been a totally different trip. Those long days will wear you out, but there is nothing like seeing the smiles on the kids face and knowing that these are the memories they will cherish forever.
