Our Latest Disney Trip

I have to start by saying this was the LONGEST trip we've ever taken to Disney. We decided to just go for it and take the long vacation after such a hard summer/fall. We had such a good time on our trip! It was well worth it!

We arrived on a Thursday evening. We were wiped out from traveling so we had dinner at the hotel and crashed. Friday was our first full day and we went to MGM for the day.

Oma & Aunt Alicia (for the first 4 days) joined us for this trip.

We saw Dan Zaines in concert. (Unless you have a preschooler who watches Disney channel, that probably means nothing to you.) Then, we had dinner that night at Mama Melrose's. It was yummy and the kids were really fun at dinner!

After dinner we went to see Fantasmic! Will wasn't too sure about it but I think it's now one of Natalie's favorites.

On Saturday, we went to a water park (Typhoon Lagoon) with Aunt Alicia. Oma & Will stayed at the hotel. No pictures from that. We went to Downtown Disney that night and had dinner at Wolfgang Puck's cafe. That's one of Bill's & my favorite places to eat.

On Sunday, we hung around the hotel most of the day, playing at the pool.

That night we took the kids to "Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party". It was so much fun!

On Monday, Alicia headed home and we went to Epcot. It rained a lot that day. We ate lunch at the Coral Reef. It was our first time there. It was pretty good!

After lunch we took Natalie on "Soarin" for the first time. She really liked it.

The next day, Tuesday, we went to Epcot again. It was the food & wine festival.

Here we are in Peru.

Here we are getting food at a stand in Italy.

The area on the U.S. had something about Pears. I'm not really sure what it was about but Will had a good time.

Our family in Mexico (well, Disney Mexico)

Natalie saw this woman (a Disney cast member working in the Mexico pavillion). Natalie said Hi to her and then asked her if she could take a picture with her. I think the lady was very flattered as our daughter just gazed at her like she was a superstar. It was a sweet moment.

The next day, Wednesday, Bill, Natalie & I went to Blizzard Beach, another water park. Bill loves going to the water parks. Then we went to Epcot for dinner at the French restaurant. That day was Halloween so the kids wore their costumes again.

On Thursday we went to Magic Kingdom. We had lunch that day at Liberty Tree Tavern. It was our first time there and it's really good!

Our last day, Friday, we checked out of the hotel

and went to Animal Kingdom for a few hours. It was hot but fun!

That's all folks! Now back to the real world.
