Day 2: Disney World

There was no resting the next day, it was off to DISNEY WORLD! I wasn't sure how we could top Harry Potter World, but there IS something magical about Disney.


We stayed with Poulsons part of the time at the shades of green military hotel on Disney property. It was really nice because they had shuttles that take you to ALL the Disney theme parks.

Disney World is actually called THE MAGIC KINGDOM. fyi



Teddy had a HUGE crush on Minnie, but I don't blame him.


We RAN to Splash Mountain so we could get that one out of the way first! Owen was tall enough so we decided to take him along, BAD CHOICE! Stupid parents!
He actually wasn't that afraid of the drop itself, it was the Br'er Fox and Bear. He was really worried for the Rabbit and still talks about it.
But we made him happy and Nate stood at the bottom of the ride and let them get soaked!




Their faces tell it all!

We then waited in line so the boys could see Woody and Jesse. The wait was long and hot, but what can you do?


Loves for Teddy. He was spoiled!!!

We did a few other rides then it was off for another ride, parents choice. Pirates!!!
Just the name made both boys nervous.
Liam seemed a little more at ease when he saw pirate goofy waiting to give him a hug.



And another one from Uncle Justin!

Owen was SCARED of the pirates, he thought Jack Sparrow was mean, but was happy when the ride dropped you in yet another gift shop full of all things pirate.


We let O choose the next ride and he chose The big Thunder Mountain Railroad coaster.
He thought it was Thomas the train. But he loved it and said "Thomas is fast!"




It was the kids turn to decide and the obvious winner was the Buzz Light Year's Space Ranger Spin. This is a ride where you sit in a cart and have a lager gun that you try and shoot targets at. (If you have been to Hershey Park, it's similar to the Reese's cup Challenge.) 

This was Owen's FAVORITE ride and we rode it 4 times in a row!




Watch it Zurg!


We mean business!

My favorite ride as a child and I am sure every other girls for that matter has always been it's a small world. Well...It was closed for renovations! I was devastated, but they got me some cotton candy and that seemed to help. (Not really)

More kiddie rides...My feet are starting to feel it now!



We did go to Space Mountain, but at this point Owen had lost ALL faith in his parent's ability to make decisions on what rides were kid appropriate and was thrilled to find out he really was too small to go on this one.
Liam however was THRILLED and rode in the front seat all by himself and loved every minute of it. No photo to document.
And last but NOT least, what would Disney be without a street parade to send you home???
