Disney in a nutshell

Thanks so much for letting me vent earlier everyone. Sometimes I'm a cry baby, I know! I was a little worried about the hate mail I'd get for it but I'm reassured that it's all good--in the hood. Now let's forget it and get to the fun stuff right?

Yes, we left for Disney on the 5th and drove for what seemed like forever until we got there on the 6th. Ewww! We stopped halfway through at a Days Inn, and I'd love to talk to you more about that but I'm trying to forget about the mildewy floor and the cockroach I found. It was a scary place alright, but for a couple hours to sleep I got over it. :)

We stayed at the Port Orleans Riverside-- it's got a old deep south bayou type feel and I absolutely adore it. The moss on the trees, the music, the boats.. it makes me giddy!

This was a photo coming off the boat, that's the restaurant, food court and main hall. They look like seperate buildings from the outside but they're all connected inside. Love it. It's like a perfect little main street.

We went to Animal Kingdom and had a ball on the safari ride :)

And, rode the tea cups for the first time at Magic Kingdom. 

 

They had no idea what was coming here.

I think she's having fun ;)

 Of course we met a ton of friends! 

We were absolutely blessed to be able to go. If you're ever able, it's a TON of fun! Not just for kids! ;)

Okay, in case you're laughing at me--yes I absolutely DO dress my daughters alike. It's a sickness I tell you. However, My husband and I most definitely do not coordinate our outfits! We didn't realize till we got there and I said "Why did you wear the same thing as me!!" Sad, isn't it.

Okay, just because you can never show to many pictures.. a few more favorites.

Some things I learned this trip:

• Don't bother wearing make up to the parks. You'll sweat it off by 10:00 am. 
• The gallon bags for clothes was a success! Worked like a charm! 
• We went to the parks in the later afternoon around 4:00 when people were tired and going home and had 5 minute wait lines at almost every ride. :) Loved it! We didn't have to use a fast pass once. 
• There are very little gentlemen out there that get up on the bus for a lady carrying a child. Most the times when we took a bus I was standing holding LB2 while LB1 held on to our legs for dear life. What happend, guys? Your Mothers didn't raise you like that! 
• At some point during the week-- someones going to pee on themselves in public. That same person is going to throw a tantrum on the bus, boat and at the Rainforest Cafe. Guess who? No, not the Husband.
• Bring snack food! The first night we went we had a chicken alfredo, chicken strip salad, and 1 mac and cheese for the girls to share and two of those cups that you can re-use.. Our bill? 78.00. Trust me, I thought about acting like I forgot my money and leaving it there.. leaving the park all together actually. ;) We had grapes, granola bars, yogurt, carrot sticks, PB&J and other little snacks in the room that we had for lunch. Saved the big bucks for dinner.
• Chick-fil-A is heaven. Why do I have to go down south to get it?

Well that's all gals! Hope that helped at least one of you! Remember you can check out Disney week and still enter the giveaways!
