Family Vacation 2012, Disney World








We took the kids to Disney World last week for a family vacation. It was good to get away, warm up, and be distracted by careless fun for a few days! Watching the kids' faces light up with enjoyment was priceless and we did our fair share of sitting by the pool, vegging out too. That's not to say that our days weren't still relocation driven whether by email, phone or fax machine.



We visited the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios on this trip. We'd hit a park in the morning, have lunch, then swim/relax in the afternoons. Most nights we had dinner at a different park then hung out there for a few hours. The illuminated boat parade came through the lagoon by the hotel each night at 9 and we were usually back for that.


Brad took Alex on Space Mountain, and as much as Alex likes to recount his adventure on that ride, I don't think he really enjoyed it. Abby was "wowed" by the Winnie the Pooh ride and both loved Peter Pan, It's A Small World, Tomorrowland Transit Authority, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, and the Monster's Inc. Laugh Floor. Soarin' and Spaceship Earth topped their lists at Epcot and Toy Story Mania and Muppets 3D rounding out Hollywood Studios.



Really, there was little they didn't like. Abby fought a brief illness but luckily it only lasted one night. The various means of transportation were "rides" in and of themselves! The kids were on excellent behavior thanks to there being PLENTY to do!
