From Magic Kingdom to Reality

We just had an awesome family vacation.  We ALL LOVE Disney World so much...  We smiled so much on our six day stay that my mouth still kind of hurts...  The kids were awesome (I guess any kid would be at Disney World), the weather was perfect, and the memories were magic...

Back to reality...

No more:

Beds made by someone other than me with cute towel decorations on them...

No more dips in the pool after a long day at the parks...  plus it was in the mid 80's there and it is in the 40's- 60's here!!!

No more watching the kids in their glory and just enjoying their smiles at the happiest place in the world...

 

No more characters dancing around our dinner table...

No more trips with Peter Pan...

No more views of my favorite castle...

No more over the top parades...

They have switched up the firework show at Magic Kingdom since our last visit... they do a photo montage on the castle that is out of this world... only Disney Style...  plus love me some heart shaped fireworks...

No more Princesses making my son blush and my daughter break out in song!

No more trips around the word with a glass of wine in hand..

This is our first time using the meal plan...  the thing is not for the health conscience...  you get crazy desserts with each meal; plus a snack a day...  We ate like kings and queens... Luckily all the heavy walking kept the scale in one place...  mmmm... I miss the food.  Bonus - I did not cook for over a week!!!!

Dinner at in an indoor drive-in...  too fun!

If only my yard could look like this...  you should see the weeds I pulled today!!!

Yes that is a Trash Can...  He moved and talked.  That was one of the highlights of my kids trip...  The trash can named Push who talked to them and even shouted GO PENS...  You never know what new Magic you will find at Disney World.

We just have to go back when this new section of Fantasy Land is done... They are building Belle's Castle...  I'll be back... 

Send me back, I will even ride the Dinosaur ride that scared the Bee-Gees out of me and my daughter...

I love you and miss you Disney World. The memories made on this trip are forever carved in my mind to pull out on a rainy  day!

Ode To Disney World

We headed to Disney the happiest place on Earth.
Mommy and Daddy had been there a few times since their births.
They even had the chance to visit twice together.
This trip however was much much better!
Better because we had the chance to share one of our favorite places with you.
Zachary was excited as ever and Caitlin was too.
From Main Street to the castle, oh what fun.Rides and splashing and fun in the sunMickey and Minnie and all their palsPooh and friends and the Playhouse Disney guys and galsDumbo and a Small World was our first Disney treat!
Still Zachary felt Space Mountain was really neat!!!!
Thunder Mountain roller coaster and the famous Peter Pan.
Then of course there was the Pirates of the Caribbean!
How could we forget Animal Kingdom and Mt. Everest
Zachary conquered the Expedition twice and thought the Yeti made it quite the quest.
Hollywood Studios was our next stop.
Caitlin wished she could stay in a Bug’s Life Play area till it was time to drop!
Zachary & Caitlin loved eating in Cars and watching old movies at the Sci Fi Diner
To them, no dinner could have been finer!
Sadly Epcot would be our last park
Zachary got to go their twice and once in the dark.
We got to meet Donald Duck
O-what luck!
Like Cinderella, our fun would need to end. So we left with our hearts needing a mend.
In the All Star Disney bus we ventured out
Knowing all our dreams came true without a doubt.
