This is a LONG blog and actually probably not even half the photos but we thought you would like to see what all we did :)
Sunday bright and early we first went to the Magic Kingdom and were there in time to get a good place in line when it opened. Kalyn HAD to ride its a small world, peter pan and Pooh so we did all those before the lines got too long.
Then they wanted to wait in line to meet Ariel and we happened to see Alice in Wonderland on the way to our next stop too.
WE had to see the new Buzzlightyear ride and this was by far the best kiddie ride in all the parks, in our opinion... we rode this probably 8 times during the week!
Cooling off with mickey icecream
We had supper reservations at the Pooh dinner at the park where we saw all his gang and had a great buffet dinner.
Monday morning we traveled to Epcot which, along with the magic kingdom, one of our favorite parks. The kids wanted to ride the new nemo ride so we did that and played in the nemo area afterwards which used to be the living seas area.
We had a princess breakfast set for 10:30 which was basically our lunch, we had a long wait even with reservations! We saw Belle first and then all the princesses, except cinderella came to stop by while we ate the buffet which was good there too.
The kids enjoyed watching the stingrays while waiting for the show "turtle talk with crush" which was a very cute show!
While Noah napped Daddy and Kalyn tried all the soft drinks in the store at Epcot
Then played in the area where they have music and water going, you can see the rainbow which was pretty.
Cute picture of Noah napping with the Spaceship Earth in background.
That night we actually got back early enough for them to play after their bath. Noah picked out a treasure chest in the pirate store and buzz clock and of course Kalyn wanted crafts so she was working on them.

Tuesday we visited the Animal Kingdom which we havent ever been to. To be honest this may have been our least favorite park, just not as much to do and a lot hotter at this park then all the others. This was the kids favorite thing here though, was this big sand area where they could dig for dinosaur bones...
We saw Brother Bear but everyone, including ourselves thought it was Little bear at first, ha ha.
The two major things at this park are the Nemo Show which was Kalyns favorite and the Lion king show, here is a photo but not great since its dark you cant see well. These two things are the two best things at this park.
The Tree Of Life which has a 3-d movie you go watch inside about bugs and mistakenly I took Kalyn and she was so scared that she wouldnt wear the 3 d glasses in ANY more shows/rides the whole trip. It was too scary for kids I would agree! (wish I knew that beforehand though)
The kids loved feeding all the birds they could find wandering around the park

Tuesday night we hopped on over to the contemporay resort to go eat at the Chef Mickeys restaurant which was fun, good food there as well.
Donald did the signal for phone and yap yap yap when asked where Daisy was, ha!
When they signaled, everyone waved their napkins and sang/dance here too which kept the kids attention.

Wednesday was a day we slept in and just relaxed at the resort pool for the day. We actually took a boat to the resort right next to ours and played in their pool awhile. We had the kids watch a movie and Noah napped in the room so we were ready to go back to the magic kingdom for our supper reservation at the castle. We saw Cinderella first and upstairs here we saw two mice and the fairy godmother. She sang and they danced around while we ate dessert. The castle was very nice inside and reminded me a lot of my parents previous restaurant they owned Excalibur Inn in a lot of ways....
We had Kalyn wear her Cinderella outfit we brought from home to this meal and she is here coloring, of course :) while Noah tried using his sword they gave him on surrounding people, ha ha
Here is the fairy godmother singing and Noahs chocolate face
They saw Jojo the clown and Goliath the lion
Then the Little Einsteins came out as well which Noah loves, he has to sing that song every night before bed, so he was in heaven seeing them!
Leo from little einsteins
Jojo the clown
Kalyn was actually drawing pictures while we waited for the characters to come around and she drew JoJo so well, she is the little artist. We had Jojo look at the picture and here she is holding Kalyns picture up!
Then when we finished and went outside we found another of the little einsteins and Rocket which Noah was SOOOO happy about
Later that day we also did the backlot tour and then ran into another favorite pair, Sully and Mike W from Monsters Inc!
They played on this HUGE playground from Bugs life and here is a spider web from that.
Noah found a star wars cruiser to sit on. David did take BOTH kids to that star wars ride that jerks you around, I had to stay back as I get VERY motion sick on those rides!!
This is after a FULL Day, yes its now dark outside when we are finally leaving after being there since 8 am. The kids got little keychain light sabers they are playing with now....

Thursday am we had a character breakfast at Hollywood Studios (formerly MGM) which was probably the most fun the kids had at a meal the entire trip. We got in early so could eat from the YUMMY buffet before the characters got out. Then they had the kids come up and sing/dance to their favorite disney songs from their shows. The kids loved singing with them and just had a great time.

Friday we headed back for a second full day at magic kingdom since we cant see it all in one day. The kids HAD to get on dumbo so we did that first before the crowds came.
Noah begged to ride the "horsey" ride as he called it.
Sunday we didnt have time to play here so we made sure to stop by the poohs house/play area which they loved!
Kalyn hiding in "rabbits" hole
We also didnt go to the mickey area sunday so we went there and they had a ball. we got to tour minnies house here and then mickeys house.
We went on a roller coaster in this toon town area and as soon as we got off the ride people were handing out special fast pass necklaces. We just happened to be in the right spot at the right time. They didnt have any times on them so we could use them anytime that day and they had passes for each of us to go on Space mountain, splash mountain, railroad rollercoster, buzz lightyear ride, the pooh ride, peter pan, stitch 3d, and the jungle cruise. We could basically go almost to the front with these passes so we got on many of them and wouldnt have had time otherwise so that was great. Kalyn rode splash mt and the rainroad rollercoaster with me and loved them!

Noah got to meet his FAVORITE guy, Buzz!!!
We decided the last ride of the trip would be the alladin carpets the kids had wanted to go on so here is Noah and Daddy waiting, see how tired he is :)
However, surprisingly enough when they got of the ride they wanted to go back and play in this area where water squirts out of these trees playing music. I think they played there 3 times that day. As you can see they are now drenched and then we had a COLD bus ride back to the hotel which made Kalyn scream the whole way back and she is always cold as it is.. poor girl! They then we happy to get a warm bath :)
Joy and her twins Lori and Lindsay

Saturday am we left the resort and drove to Daytona Beach. Our friends Joy and Danny have a house there and were staying there so invited us to stay that night so we could see the space shuttle lauch. We actually had a great view of it and David got a good video of it from their deck. We spent the afternoon playing in the sand and then enjoyed the lauch and a cookout. Thanks for the great time Joy and Danny!

Kalyn, Lori and Lindsay enjoyed playing together on the beach!
David built one of his famous sandcastles and Noah loved helping him out...
Then the kids wanted to be burried in the sand so looked funny here....

Wow looks like you guys sure had a wonderful time. It makes me want to go back to Disney. I love the picture of Kalyn in her princess dress and the first one of Noah with the Little Einstein’s. He looks over the moon with happiness to see them :o). Did you all have all the meals with the characters planned out in advance? We had breakfast at Chef Mickey's when there last and really enjoyed it, it's a good way to see the characters and not waste your time at the park standing in line, plus the food is pretty good and not to much more expensive than eating out anywhere else.
How nice you got to spend time with the Cabrie's in Daytona. That beach house is the best. I bet seeing the shuttle take off was awesome!
Great post.
Oh, that was such a great post! You caught every moment! I love the picture of Kalyn and the character holding her picture! She is a wonderful artist :-) The picture of Noah sleeping was great! Thanks for coming to visit us in Daytona, we had a wonderful time with y'all! The girls cried when we came home yesterday! Hopefully we can go back soon!
Wow, I am sooooooo jealous, your trip looks so much fun. I am glad to see that Noah enjoyed himself, because we are trying to figure out when we should take the boys to Disney. I was thinking when Griff is at least 3.
Such great great photos and it looks so much fun!!!
Hey
Thanks everyone.
Yes I think Noah was a great age to go, he enjoyed it all and was so tired he slept great for a nap in stoller and at night! We have waited so long to go and had so much fun we are already planning to back in two years before Noah goes to kindergarten :)
