Disney World!

I would love to post all the pictures from our trip for you, but that's alot of pictures and would take alot of time. So, you get just a glimpse into a wonderful trip. :-) I'm ready to go back again during the next winter - or just move to a warmer climate. We left 9 fresh inches of heavy wet snow behind for a week of sun & palm trees!
Kaylee swimming at the resort.
Giant tinker-toys in Downtown Disney!
The fam with Cinderella's Castle at Magic Kingdom. We spent 2 days there. Went on as many rides as possible, ate in the Castle, watched parades & fireworks, and so much more.
One day was spent at Epcot. We got on all the rides we wanted to, saw beautiful flowers and topiaries, watched fireworks, had great food, and even ran into another family from Sartell!
One day at Hollywood Studios. More fun rides (see picture below) - including Becca saying after Tower of Terror (13 story drop) "That's it?", good food at a drive-in theater, and a realization that we need to educate our kids a little on the classic movies (may be able to raid Grandpa's movie library for some of those).
A rainy day at Animal Kingdom. But, that was ok because there wasn't big crowds so Pat & the kids rode the coaster 3 times with no waiting (convincing Mom to finally go on the 3rd time - fun!), we rode the water ride without worry of getting more wet, and the animals on the safari were liking the rain so they were out roaming instead of hiding from the heat.
Lots of good food during the week. Mom was spoiled :-) Here we are at O'hana. Pat obviously had too much to eat.
We ate in Cinderella's Castle. First getting to meet her, then 4 other princesses visited our table during the meal for autographs and photo ops. Becca was giddy :-)
Lots of autograph & photo ops throughout the parks. We have a bookfull.
Breakfast with Minnie, Donald and Goofy all visiting our table.
Mom & the kids on the Rockin' Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios. It was the most favorite ride of mine (and Pat's). Although, you can't see that by the expression on my face. The pic was taken at the beginning of the ride as we were SHOT into the darkness and went down. I don't like the drops on coasters, and that was about the only one on the ride. The rest of it was turns & flips, which I love.

Looks like you have a wonderful time! You will have to share with me when we go to lunch some tips. We are hoping to take the kids as soon as school ends. I will be looking up stuff today.
