Magic Kingdom

What a Fabulous Weekend

We took the whole gang to Disney World over the weekend. We stayed at the Fort Wilderness Campground in the cabins. We had so much fun. Friday we went to Magic Kingdom. We got to the park about 9:00am and the weather was great. We rode 3 rides in less than an hour!!!! Can you believe it! We didn't wait more than 30 minutes to ride anything. We got right on the Indy Speedway and the boys went to work trying not to hit the metal strip the cars follow along, yeah not so much luck. I think I have whip lash.

Hey where is Abigail?

Dad calling for help, because my car died.
They bumped into us at least 3 times
All geared up for Mickey's Philarmagic. We had a ball, Ethan was going crazy in his seat trying to grab Donald and Mickey's hat. Abigail fell asleep, I guess she wasn't that impressed.


Finally, Mad Hatters Tea Party. This is the first time in all of our trips to Disney that I actually got in the tea cups. Every other time the line was either too long or I said we would always come back to it, but never did. It was so much fun.
Spinning in action, how much fun is he having?
Daddy put on a show!
Hayden couldn't stop laughing
Moo and I had fun too!

Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin

We love this ride. The cars completely spin around with the touch of a joystick. John and I always try to see who gets more points with shooting the targets. This time through I wasn't playing, I had a moo in my lap.

Love that gorgeous smile
Ethan and Daddy lighting up Zurg!
If your laser hits the little targets with the Z's on them you get points
Hayden looking for Zurg
There is he is, notice the powerful lights are all lit up, Hayden got him!

Abigail had fun shooting the targets too!
Oh no, Zurg has captured my babies!!!
Abigail really didn't like Buzz. She touched his hand but that was about it. He tried to hug her but she wasn't having it!!!
I thought this was hilarious, but so true!
Waiting for the Laugh Floor to open.

The Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor is a great show. It is a 20 minute comedy show that is totally interactive with the audience. Mike Wazowski is your host. Another must see!!!!

Downtown Disney

Friday night we went to Downtown Disney and ate dinner at Cap'n Jacks. Hayden thinks it is the Pirates of the Carribean so we go with it. Anywho, we of course had to go into the World of Disney store and buy some pirate coin chocolate, they are so good. Ethan liked to stand out at the entrance under Stitch, because every few minutes he spits out water. The Lego store was finally finished and they had some awesome Lego displays. Of course, the boys came out with a new Lego race car each, Dad just can't say no. Abigail didn't walk away empty handed either, she got a Cinderella light spinner. They had a huge Disney Christmas store there that I said I wnated to go in before we left and I think John guided me out the other way so I would forget and not see it on the way out. I totally missed it.

I so wanted to buy these ears for her, but she wouldn't keep them on.
Lazy bones couldn't walk, and felt like he needed to be chauffeured around all day and night.

Dad and little Miss walking downtown
They had a Lego family outside of the store with about 3 dogs on leashes. It was absolutely amazing that they are able to create these things, I mean come on who really has that kind of patience. This girl is even talking on a cell phone.
Giant Lego T-Rex
Everyone needs a life size bionicle
These Lego guys are awesome

She may not be the real one, but she'll do
Back at the cabin, Moo shows us how her princess spins
She caught on real quick
Her is so pretty

Disney Hollywood Studios

On Saturday we visited Disney Hollywood Studios, formerly known as MGM. The kids had so much fun. We saw quite a few shows, ate lunch with some Disney characters and Ethan was finally tall enough to ride the Star Wars thrill ride. He was so excited and had so much fun. It sprinkled a few times, but we were at a show and eating lunch during both of them. It was great weather and it wasn't very crowded.

We made it just in time for the Parade. We saw a ton of characters, here are a few.
Everyone loves Miss Piggy

Is that Luke's real hair?

We were sad Mike Wazowski wasn't at the parade, but we did see him yesterday at the Laugh Floor.
The boys went crazy over the Power Rangers


Snow White was so pretty



Nothing better than Mickey and Minnie to end the parade

Hey how did they get to San Francisco so fast?

Just outside the stunt show, we had just watched it and the kids were still on cloud nine

Hayden posing on some Star Wars thing.

We went into a store while the boys were riding the Star Wars ride and miss thing found something she couldn't live with out. She liked to shake her head back and forth and feel them wobble.
The day finally caught up to her and she was out!
Indiana Jones' stunt double. This was a great show of how they do tricks and stunts for the movie. The boys were a little stand offish, Ethan was worried that everyone was hurt.
The big rubber boulder that chased Indy down the wall.
