During fall break, we spent a long weekend in DISNEY WORLD! It was a magical trip, and we were joined by Brooke, Russ and my parents. We did as much as we could in the 3 days we were there, and we look forward to being able to go back one day.
About 30 days before our trip, the kids and I made a paper chain so that we could count down the days until we would leave for Disney. Here they are with the paper chain...
Here they are on departure day...with the very last paper chain link. Do you think they look excited?
The trip was truly amazing. As neat and cool as we ever thought it would be. We stayed at the Animal Kingdom Lodge and were able to see animals from our balcony. The only complaint would be the HEAT! We thought this wouldn't be a problem in October...but we were wrong. While we were there we experienced record highs for that time of year (in the high 90's). It practically melted us all, but with lots of bottled water and ice cream, we suffered through it and had a fabulous time. I won't bore you with every detail, but I will share some fun pictures. I think the expressions on the kid's faces says it all. Oh, and since we went in October, the whole park was decorated for Halloween, and the kids got to wear their costumes to the Not So Scary Halloween Party in the Magic Kingdom one night.
