DISNEYWORLD!

I mean, you know by the title that we had a great time! But it really was a fun, fun family trip.

It was made all the more fun by having a 6 month old little girl along who never once fussed, cruised the parks in the stroller and came on the rides (where they allowed) with us. She basically ate, slept and rode for 8 days, 7 nights. I am not even sure angel can describe this baby.

Upon our arrival, we checked into the hotel (The Boardwalk Inn) and spent the afternoon swimming in the cool hotel pool and generally chilling out.

We visited EPCOT first and had a fun day. We rode all the rides and went on some twice.

Our favorites were Nemo and Friends, Test Track, and the end of Spaceship Earth. Definitely not the ride which stopped for somewhere between 10 and 15 minutes with us on it. Thank Heavens Jill was sleeping!

The boys also loved The Maelstrom in Norway!

And Jake really liked the Innoventions Plaza.

The following day we went to Hollywood Studios (formerly Disney's MGM Studios), the boys favorite place. It has all our favorite movies and characters.


Some favorites were: Lights, Motors, Action Stunt Show, Indiana Jones Stunt Show, Star Tours, Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground, Toy Story Mania, Hollywood Tower of Terror and Mickey's Rockin' Roller Coaster. Okay, so pretty much everything there! Sorry, no pics of stunt shows, I was busy filming them!

The next day was our Magic Kingdom Day. We love magic Kingdom's fun rides and cool things to see. We managed to ride Splash Mountain 3 times in a row before there was any wait and then hit Big Thunder Mountain Railroad twice. Then we hit Pirates of the Caribbean which we were worried about but ended up loving. And then off to Tomorrowland for more fun.

Mom and Jill and fireworks. That was total coincidence!




Jake and Josh really want the sword out of the stone.




REALLY!

We went back later in the week for a reprise and hit Tom Sawyer Island (a bigtime favorite for my boys) and re-rode all our faves.
