Walt Disney World Trip Part 1

So, I'm finally am going to post about our trip. We had a great time. This may take a few posts, we'll see how much I can get to tonight.

Day 1: We went to the Magic Kingdom in the morning & then Epcot in the afternoon. We saw a lot of characters and went on some rides.


Matthew was so excited to see the characters he was jumping up and down with a huge grin on his face.


Us at Epcot:


We ate an early dinner with Chip, Dale, Mickey & Pluto at Epcot. The food was awesome, the only problem was that the kids were too excited to eat! Here's a picture of Matthew looking around the booth to see who was coming next.



By the end of the day Allison gave up & finally fell asleep. We were able to take turns going on Fast Track. A VERY fun ride!

Day 2:
It was pouring for the most of the day, but it kept the crowds down so there weren't many people out & we were able to walk right onto stuff. Luckily, the kids handled the rain just fine and we had fun.
That morning we ate breakfast at Donald's Safari at the Animal Kingdom.

Allison at breakfast. No, Daisy isn't trying to eat her... I think. It was supposed to be a kiss.


After breakfast, we walked right onto their safari ride. I took lots of pics, but will spare you and only share one.

We dried off in their conservation building. Yup, Dave is drenched. I know that this picture may seem odd. Yup, that's them with a garbage can. But notice Allison reaction is not a normal reaction to a garbage can. It was a moving & talking garbage can. It talked to Matthew for awhile and asked him questions. Matthew thought it was really cool. Allison wasn't sure what to think about it.

Because it was raining, we were able to walk right up to the characters and spend quite a bit of time with them. The cutest part was when Allison left Pluto and Goofy. She kept turning around and saying Bye Bye Pluto, Bye Bye Goofy and waving to them. Then they'd wave back at her since there wasn't any one else in line for them to meet. They did it all the way down the walk way until we were out of sight.
The weather started to clear up by late afternoon & we headed over to Hollywood Studios. Matthew got to meet Mater & Lighting, which he of course LOVED.

We watched their stunt show. Allison now says 'Cars go Boom' whenever she sees a car.

It was fun to be there before Christmas (and the Christmas crowds). The Osmond light show there was amazing.
If you've made it this far, I'm impressed. Here's the last day of WWD. We spent the whole day at the Magic Kingdom. We were able to get into the park about an hour early due to our breakfast time. It was fun to actually take some pictures without a million other people by you.
We had breakfast with Pooh Bear, Tigger, Piglet & Eeyore.

Matthew & Allison thought Tigger was hilarious. He took Matthew's fork & flipped it with his hand. And then he tried again with his nose and it hit Tigger in the face. Matthew was laughing SO hard...
We went on a lot of kid's rides. Allison was scared by some, but complete enthralled at the same time. This picture of her on the Pooh Bear ride captures it all.
So, sorry for all the food pictures, but the kids really did have fun seeing & eating with the characters. Here's a few from our dinner with Chip, Dale, Minnie, Mickey & Pluto.


And at last, the castle light up with Christmas lights that night. It was amazing.


Well, there it is. All you wanted to know (& didn't care to know) & much much more. We loved it there & had just as much fun on our Disney cruise afterwards. That post will be next, but NOT tonight!
