A Synopsis of Our Disney Trip - March 2010

When we arrived in Disney, it was chilly.
Joshua's first ever ride was the parking tram!!
I was overcome with joy, and even shed a few tears when I first saw the castle!

Ok, so Joshua's first REAL ride was Peter Pan.

He eventually rode all he was big enough for!

The weather was pretty nice, not too hot or cold.

The kids swam in the pool a lot!!

The pool was heated, so even on the chilly nights we could swim, that was nice.

The pool was themed about an ancient city and had a huge Mayan pyramid and a jaguar slide - very cool!

I carried the baby in the sling as much as I could. We both enjoy that.

Abby got to meet her favorite character - Jessie!

Joshua met Mickey and Minnie together in Mickey's house.

Joshua was wearing a Mickey outfit that Minnie loved.

We found out that Joshua loves to touch the characters noses!!

We had lots of great meals.
At many of our meals, we also got to spend time with characters.

We had an awesome early morning safari.

We saw elephants, cheetahs, lions, flamingos, crocodiles and a pregnant giraffe to name a few.
The safari is my favorite ride in all of Disney.

We had lots of fun interaction with the characters.

Joshua slept through a lot of it, but we got pictures!!

Abby has become the family daredevil.

She rode Everest with me, the Tower of Terror with Daddy and many others.
She rode the Rock n Roller Coaster for the first time (Noah rode that too).

Both kids rode the "mountains" of the Magic Kingdom.

Daddy and I love riding the big rides with the kids, it's so much fun.

Joshua wore a lime green Dumbo shirt while riding a lime green Dumbo.

That matching stuff makes me happy!!

We saw Remi from Ratatouille at the french restaurant in EPCOT.

It was really cute and funny as he reacted to us at our table.
Even Joshua was interested (can't you tell?).

The Flower and Garden Show began at EPCOT began while we were there.
We loved strolling around and looking at the beautiful topiaries.
Someone gave us their pink Mickey balloon because they couldn't take it on rides!

We stayed at the Coronado Springs Resort.

The grounds at our hotel were just stunning.

Our room was on the top floor facing the water, the view was gorgeous.
We could see EPCOT and Disney Studio's nighttime shows from our window.

Noah is always ready for some audience participation.

This time he had a turn driving our Jungle Cruise.

He is never shy about that stuff, I love that about him!

Abby always looks for nuts or acorns to give Chip & Dale.

They are always gracious receivers!!

We got to meet the characters from Up for the first time!

Our last day was at EPCOT.

I loved this picture with Joshua and the "big ball"!!

Our little viking family!!

We can't leave without our yearly viking photo in the Norway pavilion.

Well, that's about it. It was a long trip but lots of fun. On both ways we stopped in Atlanta (we drove). On the way in, we spent the night with Steve's family. It was so nice to see them. On the way home we stopped to eat lunch at the Varsity which is a drive-in we've seen on many Food Network and Travel Channel shows. We're not sure when we're going to go again. Only time will tell I guess!
