The Happiest Place on Earth





After our weekend in Miami, we drove up to Orlando for more fun in the sun with the Sumrall family. We met my parents, brother Rob, sis-in-law Michelle, and their kiddos Joshua, Laura Beth, and Anna. We had six days in the park, and we had a blast! We did Disney five years ago with this same group (minus two kids), and we had every bit as much fun as we had the last time! The experience was very different having Caroline with us. We usually go, go, go from park opening to close (including Extra Magic hours). This time we had to head back to the room before the fireworks a couple of nights, although we did see Fantasmic. This little girl actually decided she wanted to nurse and go to sleep with all that racket going on! Caroline absolutely loved all of the stimulation, colors, and characters! And she really enjoyed any and all shows we went to, especially ones with music. It's great having grandparents with you on vacation, though, so we could enjoy the "adult" rides. Everest may have replaced Rockin' Roller coaster as my favorite ride. That important decision is going to take some serious contemplation, though, so I'm not ready to commit just yet.



Meeting Mickey and Minnie








Mimi made matching outfits for all four grandkids




Check out the precious Minnie bow! Thanks for the idea, Steph!








Our FAVORITE princess!




We love Aunt Belle!




Callie spent a lot of time being strolled around...we love our Peg!




It's a comfy napping place...




Fast Pass is key to fitting in all of the rides. We actually had four at one time...that may be a record.




The whole fam on the Boardwalk where we were staying.

Meeting Piglet at the character breakfast













Callie's first time in the pool. She LOVES the water.




If you ever eat at Whispering Canyon, be sure to (1.) tell them you are VERY thirsty and (2.) ask for ketchup.
