Vacation - July 7 - July 15

We left Jeff and Mary's on Sunday morning and arrived at Disney about 45 minutes later! We were so excited!!! We got checked in and set up and then went swimming! We love Fort Wilderness!!! We ate at the Trail's End and met the Cecere's there! We went back to our camper and then went to bed so that we could get up bright and early on Monday morning! We arrived at Animal Kingdom at 7:45 and were in the park by 8. We met the Cecere's and went on just about all the rides...we really enjoyed the Safari ride and saw so many animals!!!! We left the park around 3:00 and headed back to our camper and then swimming! Then we got out of the pool and went to the Magic Kingdom until close! We got on the new Mermaid ride and a bunch of other rides with little or no wait. Everyone was finding a place for the fireworks while we rode rides...like the Barnstormer roller coaster! Then we viewed the fireworks between Cinderella's Castle and Belle's new castle! Then we headed back to the camper and Landon fell asleep. It was a long way back to the camper carrying that little one! The next morning we got up and we headed to Epcot! The kids absolutely love Epcot! We rode Test Track first! The a bunch of characters on it! fastest ride in all of Disney World- 65 miles per hour! We went on that ride 3 times! We went on Imagination, Nemo and The Living Seas, The Land and the boat rides in Mexico and Norway all two times a piece! We walked around all the Countries! There was hardly anyone at Epcot- awesome! We checked out all sorts of cool things and an ice cream place in France that had really good ice cream cones! Fred tried a couple different beers from the different countries also. We gave Ryan his first Coke to drink (well I shared) - he was dragging and needed a pick me up- we never give him any caffeinated drinks- this seemed to help! He also thought it was the greatest thing! We spent the entire day at Epcot and then went back to the camper! You guessed it- Landon was sleeping again! We got up early and got to Magic Kingdom before it opened! A gentlemen came out up by the train tracks and welcomed us all for coming! Then some cast members danced and then the train came by with all sorts of characters on it! They all welcomed us to the Magic Kingdom and then we were allowed into the park! We went into Adventureland (Jungle Cruise & Pirate Cruise) first and traveled around to Frontierland (Big Thunder Mountain Railroad), Liberty Square (The Hall of Presidents & Haunted Mansion), Fantasyland (Peter Pan's Flight, Under The Seas- journey of the Little Mermaid & Barnstormer), & Tomorrowland (Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor & Tomorrowland Transit Authority)! We love riding on the Walt Disney World Railroad! We left and went to the Wilderness Lodge for dinner and the boys went swimming and then we went back to the camper! We got up early the next day and went to Hollywood Studio! We got in the park 15 minutes early and there was hardly anyone there! We ran to see the key under the mat at the Muppets! We had our pictures taken by the umbrella from Singing in the Rain! We absolutely love Toy Story Mania (went on that a couple times), we also went on Backstage Tours, Lights, Motors, Action, Honey I Shrunk the Kids Playground, Disney Jr. Show & Indiana Jones Stunt show! We went back to the camper and chilled, went swimming and had pizza for dinner! We went to Blizzard Beach on Friday and spent about two hours going down water slides until we were forced to leave because of a wicked thunder and lightning storm! When it stopped raining we went to Downtown Disney. We ate at the Earl of Sandwich- it was very good! We enjoyed making rice crispy treats at Goofy's Candy Co. We had fun downtown! We again went back to go swimming and had pizza for dinner! The next day we got up and met the Cecere's for breakfast at the All Star Music Resorts and to tell them goodbye! We spent the day at Epcot again and had tons of fun! Then we went back to our camper and John and Deanna came to visit us and go to dinner with us at the Trail's End Rest. It was great to see them! The next day was our last day in the park- we went to Animal Kingdom, back to go swimming, Hollywood Studios and then back to Epcot! We watched Illuminations! Then we went back to the camper exhausted! We got up the next morning, cleaned up and left for Jacksonville!
