DW Day #4 - 2013

Our last day at the parks we spent at the Animal Kingdom.  We went straight to the safari ride.  We were there so early that all the animals were awake and ready for us.  Justin especially loved this ride.  He had just spent a bunch of time at school learning about African animals.  He couldn't get enough!  Nana gave Seth her camera for most of the ride - he loved being in charge of the pictures.  

Dinosaur land was fun (we won't mention the super scary ride that Jerald sent Grandma, Nana, Seth, Justin and I on - that scared us all!).

Ezra's favorite part of the day, maybe of the whole trip (and one of my faves also) was Goofy's safari lunch.  We got a great group picture with Donald and then Mickey, Goofy and Minnie all came to our table.  Ezra loved them all - not a shy kid!  Below is a picture of Ezra kissing Mickey's nose!

Justin had a day long obsession with Yoda - so he wore this winter hat all day long.  If you know Justin you know that he falls for something fast and hard - but it burns out eventually.  

My favorite 2 pictures of my 4 boys from the trip!

A hulk made of lego!!!

Goodnight!

DW Day #3 - 2013

 Back to a park bright and early on day #3 - Hollywood Studios!!!  After only meeting Buzz Lightyear yesterday we met Daisy, Donald and Minnie before we even got into the park.  

The big new ride at Hollywood Studios is Toy Story Mania - we ran straight there and went on it twice (Jerald and Justin three times).  

We participated in a pirate show - where Seth and Justin held the skull key!

After the star wars ride and the Indiana Jones stunt show it was time for Pa to head home.  We were so sad to see him go and miss the rest of the fun - but we had a great time with him!  We love you!!!

We went on a bunch more rides, met more characters, and had much more fun!

DW Day #2 - 2013

We started off Day #2 with celebrating Seth's 7th birthday!  A couple of presents, cards and singing and we were all dressed in matching t-shirts waiting for the bus to go to the magic kingdom.  A big thanks to the grandparents for wearing the t-shirts - I think we looked so cute!

We had a quick team meeting and got on the bus...  we arrived at the magic kingdom and followed our itinerary that Jerald and I worked on.  Jerald executed brilliantly - we waited on almost no lines.  We all agreed we would definitely hire Jerald as a tour guide again!

 We started with our longest wait for the Beauty and the Beast new ride.  The boys got to be in a play with Belle - Seth was the Beast, Justin the horse and Ezra the salt shaker!  It was beyond cute!!!

 We spent the rest of the morning going on a bunch of different rides - Ezra's favorite was It's a small world!  

 We had a fun lunch in the Beast's Castle...

 King Ezra grabbed a nap and the rest of the group went on a pirate ride and we all reunited for Aladdin's carpet ride.  

We took a much needed ice cream break and watched the parade.  

We celebrated more of Seth's birthday at dinner.  Seth wore a button that let everyone know it was his birthday.  It was fun having everyone give him their birthday wishes!

Nearing the end of the day we finally met our first character and got our first autograph - 

Buzz Lightyear!!!

We were able to go on a few more rides before catching the electric parade.  We made it back to our hotel room at 10:30pm - we left our hotel at 8am.  What a full and amazing day!!!
