Disney 2013

How long does/ it take to drive to Disney?  Not too long is what we found out!  With the car packed up, we started our trip at 2am hoping that our triptix from AAA and GPS wouldn't fail us!  Finn fell right back asleep but Caelin spent the first 45 minutes asking if we were in Disney yet.  Good thing that wasn't an indicator of how the rest of the trip would go!  Soon enough she fell asleep and we were able to drive right through to Delaware before stopping for breakfast. The kids were as happy as could be to read, color and watch their favorite Disney movies as we drove on to South Carolina.  After a good nights sleep, the next day was an easy drive into FL and straight to Disney. We hit Downtown Disney that night were we bumped into our friend Alex from home!  The next week was full of highlights: breakfast with Lilo and Stitch at Ohana, a roller coaster packed day at Magic Kingdom, Fantasmic at Hollywood studios, tons of swimming at the pool, parades and more character meals at the Grand Floridian and Cape May.  the kids had a blast!  Caelin's favorite rides included Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, Dumbo and the test track.  Finn  also loved the test track and Dumbo but also enjoyed the carousal, Aladdin's ride and Winnie the Pooh!  Both girls loved eating in Belle's new castle too:)  With the exception of a minor stomach bug that hit Finn in the middle of Main St (as the parade came through) we had an awesome time...and would definitely do the drive again!

                                                      Day 1- Ohana.....that's a funny face:)
                                               Downtown Disney- fun at Raglan Rd and the Lego store!
                                                  Belle's Castle- loved seeing the "real" rose!
                                                          Must be time for the parade:)
                                         These kids are excited....just met Lightning and Mater!
                                              Minnie met us at the gate right as we walked in!
