Disney

A few weeks ago we took a trip to Orlando for the day to Magic Kingdom. Wow, was it hot. Too hot, really. This was our 3rd or 4th visit and I think we are finally starting to figure out the best way to go. For starters, don't go in the summer! And then plan to stay oon Disney property - preferably RIGHT NEXT TO THE PARK you plan to visit. Next time we go, we are going to look into the Contemporary, Polynesian or Grand Floridian. Go early in the AM, eat lunch and go take naps! We tried the no nap and it was NOT a good idea. I also think you need to do more than one day at one park. When we do it again, we will come down late in the afternnoon, schedule a character dinner at a hotel (Chef Mickey?) and then check in and get a good nights rest before hitting the park EARLY the next morning - preferrably the day of the extra magic hour.

We still had a marvelous memorable time even though Avery wasn't in the happiest mood - it's so hard to figure out kid's moods sometimes! Here are some pics from our trip.

Mommy and Avery (can you see her?) on the rollercoaster. This child LOVES this roller coaster, but is scared to death of something like group activites with other kids. Go figure.


The Main Street Parade - I have loved these fairies since I was a little girl....Flora, Fauna and Meriweather. :)


A view down Main Street


Scott and Avery (looking happy!) on the 'horsey'.




Avery was not too sure about Snow White. This was right when we walked in the door and I think she was a bit nervous. I sure hope she grows out of this!


She is still not smiling.


The look kind of set the tone for the day. I have no idea why, but she was a grump with little bits of happiness thrown in for the day.

It just goes to show that you can't ever tell WHAT your kids are going to do at any given moment. Who wouldn't be over the top happy at Disney? We've figured out the same thing, re theme parks. GO EARLY in the day, go in November, January, or February, and let them take a nap for pete's sake. I don't know why it took us so long to figure that out. We're really smart-like.
