Disney World Day 2

Day 2 was jam packed for us at Disney.  We started the day early by meeting Mickey and ended the day really late with Fireworks.  In between, we met Pluto, went on a lot of rides, swam at the resort, had a great dinner with the Winnie the Pooh characters, trick or treated, watched a parade, and went on rides in the dark! So many good memories!

Riding the monorail into the park...

Meeting Mickey Mouse!

 Mickey interacted with the boys, had them hop like Tigger, and asked them questions!

 The boys picked out Mickey ears to wear at the park, and wore them all day long

Here are a few pics of the pool at our resort.  It was huge, with two water slides and the boys LOVED it!

 All the princesses and their princes were out at the park for Halloween.  They boys wanted to see the 7 Dwarfs instead.  

Poor Keegan couldn't make it anymore.  We woke him up for the fireworks, but he fell back asleep on the bus ride back to the resort.

Leaving the park for the night

This was all the candy we got from trick-or-treating at the park.  We had so much that we didn't even have to buy any candy to hand out on Halloween

Stay tuned for Days 3 & 4 pictures!

Disney World Day 1

In the middle of October, the boys have two days off from school every year.  They always are by a weekend, so they get four days off in a row.  This year, we decided to go to Disney World during their mini-break.  We got there late Wednesday night (after school) and came back on Sunday.  It was our first time going to Disney World with the boys and we had a blast.  They were such troopers, even though they were tired, it was hot, and they walked about 7-9 miles a day! We stayed at the Caribbean Beach Resort and loved it!

We spent all day Thursday at Magic Kingdom, and headed back to our resort that night for dinner and swimming.  Friday, we went back to Magic Kingdom as soon as it opened, came back  to our resort for a couple hours in the afternoon to swim, then went back to Magic Kingdom to have dinner, trick-or-treat, and watch fireworks.  On Saturday, we headed to another hotel for a breakfast with the characters, went miniature golfing, spent the whole afternoon at our resort pool, and then went to Downtown Disney for dinner.  

The weather was gorgeous, upper 80's and sunny pretty much the whole time.  The park was not crowded at all.  We only waited for about 25 minutes max in line for rides, so it was definitely a good time of year to go. We had a blast, and the boys absolutely loved our mini vacation.  I'm so glad we went.  We have a lot of pictures so I'm going to break up the posts.  Here are the pictures from our first day!
