Disney Trip

We got back from Disney late Wednesday night and had a wonderful time! Both of the boys loved it and Nicholas is already asking when we are going back :) We stayed at Ft Wilderness Cabins which I would highly recommend. It is a 20 minute boat ride to the Magic Kingdom and it was a 20 minute bus ride to Epcot. The Disney staff is great. They were so friendly.

We left Atlanta Saturday morning in the rain. It took about 8 hours to get down there, but it wasn't that bad. The boys did pretty good in the car. We went to Downtown Disney that night. It was a really neat place.

Sunday morning we got up and headed for the Magic Kingdom. The weather wasn't great...cold and rainy, but it actually worked to our advantage. The lines were short! Nicholas was able to ride the Goofy roller coaster 4 times in a row without waiting. Twice with me and twice with Jason. We rode the tea cups, Dumbo, race track, Haunted Mansion all with about 5 - 10 minute wait times. Nicholas loved them all. He wasn't scared at all in the Haunted Mansion. Nolan got to ride everything but the roller coaster. He hated the Dumbo ride. We also rode the Riverboat and saw the Celebration Parade. Nolan also got his 1st haircut on Main Street USA. He looked so cute when it was over. No longer a baby, but a little boy :( We then headed back to the cabin with some tired kids and relaxed the rest of the night.

The end result...he even got mouse ears that say 1st haircut...how cute!

Monday was another chilly day, but that didn't stop us. We headed out early to Chef Mickey's to have breakfast with Mickey and his friends. It was awesome! So worth the money. The kids loved it. The characters come right up to your table. We then headed back to the Magic Kingdom and went straight to Adventure land. This is definitely the way to go. No Lines! We got right on Pirates of the Caribbean and the Thunder Railroad. Nicholas loved both. He got to ride Thunder Railroad twice. I don't think anything scares the kid. Oh wait...still scared of the dark :) We had a great day and headed back around 3 for the kids to relax and then went back around dinner to play some more and see the fireworks. We had great line karma again all day long. The only rides we had to fast pass were Space Mountain and Peter Pan. Other than that we had 10 minute wait times all day. Wow! We got to ride a couple of rides multiple times thanks to the short lines. The fireworks were great by the way.

Meeting Mickey...so excited!

The end of a long day

Tuesday we headed to Epcot. Not as fun as the Magic Kingdom, but still a good day. A little more crowded here, but we were able to do everything we wanted by using fast pass. Nicholas loved Test Track and Soarin' and Jason is still talking about the spaceship ride, Mission Space. That night we went to the Hoop Dee Doo Revue at Ft Wilderness. Everyone loved it. It was so much fun. We also saw Chip and Dale at the Campfire at Ft Wilderness.

Wednesday we went to the Animal Kingdom. My least fav park for sure. Not that much to do, but it did have some cool stuff. The African Safari was amazing. Jason really enjoyed the Mount Everest roll a coaster. Nicholas is still talking about the Dinosaur ride. I'm really surprised he did it not once, but twice. It was kinda scary, but he kept telling us it wasn't real :) He also liked the river rapids ride. We left to head back to Atlanta after our adventures there. I wasn't dry from the river ride until around Gainsville :)

All in All, a great vacation. I was a little worried about Nolan being so young, but he enjoyed it as much as the rest of us. Both boys were amazed by everything. I can't wait to go back!
