We're home....

and SICK!!

So instead of making my head hurt even worse {I have a major sinus infection/cold} by trying to remember what we did all week in Disney, I am going to give you all a quick day by day overview and then post some pictures!

Friday, January 30th:

Packed. Loaded the car. Drove 8 hours. Checked in at POP Century. Explored Downtown Disney. Rode the monorail. Ate at Chef Mickey. Met Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy.

Got up early. Went to Disney's Hollywood Studios. Tortured Henry at the Muppet's 3D movie. Rode on Toy Story Mania 3 times{our favorite ride the whole trip!}. Ate at Pizza Planet.

Sunday, February 1st:

Ate a Supercalifragilistic breakfast with Mary Poppins. Went to the Magic Kingdom. Rode every ride in Fantasyland at least twice. Skipped lunch and ate popcorn instead. We all rode Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Watched a parade. Ate more candy and junkfood. Rode all the rides in Tomorrowland {except Space Mountain, the boys weren't tall enough}. Sort of watched the fireworks. Got back to the hotel around 11:00 pm.

Tuesday, February 3rd:

Went to Epcot. Rode Soaring 3 times. Got stuck sideways on Test Track. Visited Mexico, Norway, China, and Germany. Ate GREAT Mexican food and a delicious churro. Rode on the Nemo ride. Froze in shorts while waiting on the firework show.

Wednesday, February 4th:

Went back to Hollywood Studios. Rode on Toy Story Mania again. Watched half of the Indian Jones Spectacular. Ate at Pizza Planet again. Grant and Jason rode Tower of Terror. Watched the parade again. Took a nap. Ate dinner at the Rainforest Cafe with Jason's work friend. Bought some SUPER good chocolate.

Thursday, February 5th:

Went back to Magic Kingdom. Froze. We were the very first people to ride Dumbo. Rode more rides in Fantasyland. Rode on the Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Aladdin. Bought socks for the boys to wear as gloves. Took a trip around MK on the train. Got soaked on Splash Mountain. Found a paintbrush on Tom Sawyer's Island {and got free ice cream!}. Watched most of the Spectromagic Parade.

Friday, February 6th:

Packed and loaded the car. Went back to Epcot. Rode the Nemo ride again. Visited Canada, United Kingdom, Japan, France, Italy, and USA. Ate lots of snacks {we had 12 credits left to use in one day}. Drove home. Got Eli. Went to bed exhausted.

We had a SUPER time at Walt Disney World. But we are glad to be home....now if only I could get everything unpacked!

P.S. I will probably post more pictures when I start feeling better.

P.P.S. If you enjoyed reading about our adventures at Disney, head over to Andria's blog and check out all the fun she and her family had at Disney during Christmas.

Disney World: Here We Come!!

I took a picture of the boys before they went to bed tonight {all decked out in their Mickey shirts and SUPER excited about going to Disney World!}.

We are leaving in about an hour and a half and I am still up {at 11:30 p.m.} packing and getting together the last little nit-picky things {camera, DVDs, sunglasses, batteries}!! Around 8 tonight, I took Eli {and all of his baby stuff} over to my parent's house. I got his bed and toys set up for his 'home away from home' for the next week!! I fed him his nighttime bottle and put him down for the night. While I was gone Jason got Henry and Grant in the bed{and cleaned the kitchen for me!!}, and then he got in the bed to get a little bit of shut-eye before midnight {and the SUPER long drive to Orlando}!!

So here we are T minus 1 1/2 hours and I am too pumped up on adrenaline to even think about trying to fit in a power nap!! I'm sure I will pass out before we are an hour away from our house, but for now I am too excited {and too worried that I am forgetting something important!!}

DISNEY WORLD: HERE WE COME!!

P.S. We are taking the computer with us and {assuming we have Internet access} I am hoping to try and post each night {stuff will be much easier to remember than if I wait until we get home}!! We'll see how exhausted I am and how much I actually have to post!!

WDW

We are nearing the end of our

"COUNTDOWN TO DISNEY"!!
Today I made a few things for Henry and Grant to take {and wear}to Disney World. I didn't want to spend a small fortune buying a bunch of stuff in Disney, and I figured it would be just as cute and a lot cheaper if I just made it at home!!
I bought half a yard of some Mickey fabric {it cost a little over $2} a while back, and was planning to make the boys' some shirts to wear on the trip down {my kids have very few things with characters}. I had plenty of fabric, so I also made some cute personalized sippy cups {because my boys are camels and will want juice constantly} and some autograph books {still not sure if we will even use these, because the last time we were around big dressed up characters Henry and Grant both almost had a heart attack!!}.
We are now well stocked with Disney memorabilia....if only I could make myself start packing!!

Less than 48 hours before we leave!
