Disney World!

Friday, March 11, 2016

Today I'm recapping our trip to Disney World! It was such a great trip… full of family time, sweet treats, rides, and Disney characters. I am exhausted. I need a vacation from my vacation. But seriously, we probably walked 50 miles while we were there. Beware: this post is picture heavy!


This trip was my niece and nephew's first time on an airplane and they were perfect angels! We bribed them both with food the entire flight and it worked! My niece had a ring pop, string cheese, yogurt, lunchable, and pack of cookie in a 2 hour flight. Whatever works right?!


We stayed at the Bay Lake Tower at the Contemporary Resort right on Disney property and it was so great. Since we had 8 people and wanted to be together, we knew we needed a condo and this was perfect. A short 1/2 mile walk to the Magic Kingdom and connected to the Contemporary Resort which has a restaurant.


We planned our trip around my niece who is 3.5 years old. I would have done things differently if it were just me and my husband going but obviously it was still a great time! We spent two full days at Magic Kingdom, one full day at Animal Kingdom, half a day at Hollywood Studios and half a day at Epcot. I wish we had spent a full day at Epcot, but there isn't a ton of stuff for children to do at that park. We loved traveling "around the world" at Epcot and we enjoyed multiple yummy drinks at the different countries!


We had the majority of our meals planned before we got there. I highly suggest getting reservations before you go, otherwise you will wait forever at the restaurants on Disney property. We had multiple meals with the Disney characters which was great because they come right to your table and you don't have to stand in forever long lines for a picture. My niece was in awe of the characters, especially the Disney princesses!


Funny story… when Ariel came to our table Ella James ran up to her and said, "Why you call it a dinglehopper? It's a fork!" Ariel was caught so off guard, she had no idea what to say. Her response: "I don't know what a fork is!" We all died! Kids say the most hilarious things.


There is SO much to do at Magic Kingdom, especially if you have kids. I'm pretty sure we rode every single ride and saw every single show at the entire park!

 

One of the best parts of the trip was a surprise blate with Kerri and Pamela! I was SO excited to meet these girls and grab a drink after a long day of walking and sweating (ew). They are both just as gorgeous and sweet in person! Definitely makes blogging worth it when you make real-life friends through it!


Sorry for the picture heavy post! Let me know if you have any questions about Disney!! Linking up with AprilAmanda, Erika and Karli.

  8. When I was younger I didn't like Epcot, now that I'm older I totally get it. Drinking and eating around the world, it's the best! Looks like you hit up all the Parks! Isn't Harry Potter so fun?!?!

  20. Your whole family is absolutely gorgeous and it looks like you had a huge blast. By the way, loving the lifted pinkie from your husband lol I've never been to Disney World and would seriously love to go one day, hopefully sooner rather than later. That Ariel is stunning and I love that she was taken off guard, but perfect response!

  23. Looks like a fun trip and those shirts y'all had made are too cute! I have only been to Disney once (when I was 7) and I'd love to go back at some point... but Ryan really isn't into amusement parks so we probably won't go until we have kids of our own. A longggg time from now lol :)
