Surprise! We are going to Disney World!!!

We told the kids we were going to Florida and going to the beach...what we DIDN'T tell them, was that we were also going to Disney World. We got to our hotel Monday early afternoon and immediately started swimming in the pool. Then we went out for a nice dinner at Macaroni Grill and we were all exhausted from traveling so we went to bed early. We got up Tuesday morning, ate breakfast and got the kids ready. They were asking if we were going shopping and we said yes they could shop when we got to the place we were going. They were clueless. Then as we got close to the Disney World parking area, where there were signs everywhere, I turned on the video camera to see if they would figure it out. It was a fun surprise! Too bad I ruined the video by talking so much. LOL.
(OK, so the video is just a big too large to upload! Darn. I will try to upload it to my facebook page if you are interested in checking it out.)


Here were are at the Magic Kingdom! We didn't take a lot of pictures at Disney World but we sure had TONS of fun.



Waiting in line to ride Space Mountain. The very first thing we did was to ride Space Mountain twice. Kaia was an inch too short for all of the fast rides. We tried to sneak her on several times, but we always got busted and had to use a baby swap pass! Oh well. In a year or so she will be able to ride everything.


Oh the anticipation is killing everyone!!!




Just finished riding Space Mountain for the first time. The kids were definitely hooked! This was their first roller coaster ever and they got pretty exited about it. We also rode Thunder Mountain at least six times!


Riding the Carousel with the girls while the boys went on Splash Mountain for the second time. After we were busted again for trying to sneak Kaia on, she said she wanted to ride the horses instead.


Sweaty and Gross!!!

Taking a break. It was extremely hot and humid and it was starting to take it's toll on us old people!



This was Kaia's favorite ride. The boys were in the blue cup and the girls were in the pink cup.


Riding "It's a Small World". Steve was less than thrilled to ride it but Kaia and Mettea sure loved it!



The next day we went to Daytona Beach. We can't be in Florida and not get some beach time!!!
