Disney 2016-Sunday

Sunday morning bright and early we set out to head to Magic Kingdom.  This was the day the kid's had their pirate makeovers and its hysterical to have a full day's worth of pictures with Brady sporting a 5 o'clock shadow.

I don't remember exactly what rides we did which day but I will say over the course of the week we rode every single ride we wanted to and some more than once.  We did a ton of Fast Passes and since we had Emerson with us who couldn't ride much we were able to do the rider switch feature and the kids often got a chance to ride twice.

We ate breakfast in the room this day(and most days), lunch at a quick service Mexican restaurant which we liked so much we ended up eating at again later in the week. And dinner was at our all time favorite Disney restaurant the HoopDeeDoo Review at Fort Wilderness.















At this point I should tell you we had a free PhotoPass that we took advantage of 1000%.  It was free and unlimited with Tina's ticket and we stopped for a picture pretty much as often as we could.  It made it so easy to have great pictures of the whole group and the app made it so easy to view and share them.












Jungle Cruise...


Big kids in their pirate getups...




Emerson loves the Chipmunks and was so upset that she couldn't touch them from this side of the rope.  Haha.








This was one of Brady's favorite pictures because he said it looked like he was taking a dump hahaha. Gotta love a 7 year old's sense of humor.




Seven Dwarfs coal mine ride.... super awesome ride that we had fast passes for and waited only minutes to ride.  No way in hell I would wait the 200+ minutes it usually has for a wait.






Daily ice cream snack...  We had the 2 meal and 1 snack a day meal plan and it was perfect for us.  Our hotel room was a 2 bedroom suite with a full kitchen so we ate breakfast in the room most mornings and lunch and dinner out and about.


Naptime!!


We spotted Rapunzel's tower...




I don't remember which ride we were on??  But Emerson was not thrilled about being left behind haha.






We stumbled upon this meet n greet and it was so great.  The characters were great with the kids and the wait wasn't too long.


One last picture before leaving Magic Kingdom for the day...






Emerson absolutely LOVED this show and we all loved the food.


And finally back to the room with two sleeping girls...

Disney 2016-Saturday

In typical Lauren fashion, we went to Disney back in February and I am just now getting around to blogging the pictures.  But I always read back on these posts before our trips and I know I will be mad if I don't have info from this trip before our next trip.

We were leaving early on a Saturday morning.  I try my hardest to tell my kids the least amount of information as possible because I hate answering questions.  If I tell them about something, they end up asking so many questions that by the time the event happens I am so over said event.  So we didn't tell them until the morning of the trip and it was perfect.  Lucky for us, my kids are pretty oblivious and didn't seem to notice all the packing and list making and stroller buying.  I packed everyone a backpack with their blankets, snacks, and iPads.  It was the easiest traveling we have ever done-maybe it was the ages??  Only bummer was when we got to the airport- Jim opened up the box to the cheap umbrella stroller I bought to use for the trip and it was missing a wheel.  Pushing a 3 wheeled stroller for a week seemed like the opposite of fun so we quick trashed it and ordered a double stroller for rent and it was delivered to our hotel later that day.  Beyond easy and worth the money.

Saturday- We flew to Orlando, took the Magical Express, checked into our room at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, and then headed over to Animal Kingdom to eat dinner at The Rainforest Cafe.













Checking out the animals right outside our room.


Proof of the stupid 2 wheeled stroller hahaha.


I caught them holding hands, I love when they do this.




Thank heavens she fell asleep.
