We were so excited to take the kids to Disney World. Jer and I began planning for it this winter. Our plan was to wait and tell the kids when we woke them up to leave for the airport but we ended up telling them two weeks before we left. I think it was better that they knew so that we could prepare them for the adventure. I made all our reservations months in advance and couldn't wait to get there. I had not been there in 17 years and Jeremy and the kids were first timers.
Day 1
Here are the kids waiting for our 6:10 am flight
They did great on the airplane watching movies.
We arrived in Orlando!
The Disney Magical Express picked us up and brought us to our hotel. We chose to stay at one of the moderate resorts, Carabbean Beach, and loved it. It was very clean and pretty. The only part we didn't like was how large and spread out it was.
After checking in we headed out on a shuttle bus for Magic Kingdom. Unfortunately it was raining.
The rain didn't stop us from enjoying the rides.
We decided to go back to the hotel to get ready for our dinner in Downtown Disney. By then the rain had cleared out and we were all hungry. We had a reservation at Wolfgang Puck's restaurant but we got there to late. It turned out that Jeremy wasn't feeling well anyway so we ended up eating at Pollo Camperos.
Downtown Disney
Day 2
The next day we were up and ready for a fun filled day at Magic Kingdom. The rain had cleared and the ski was blue. Right when we arrived we got in line to meet Minnie, Mickey and a few princesses.
Next we enjoyed some rides.
And then we waited to meet a few more characters
It was hot
We had dinner reservations at Epcot so we left the Magic kingdom and headed to Epcot.
We missed our reservation again (it took us awhile to figure out the timing of the bus) and had a great dinner in Mexico.
Day 3

Jeremy and Bubba were so excited about it being a "Star wars weekend." We got to meet a lot of characters .
Even Goofy and Donald were dressed up.
We made our dinner reservation that night at the Sci-Fi Drive-in Theater. The kids LOVED it.
