Florida Part 2

We took the kids to Disney for a day and we went to Magic Kingdom. Orlando was 3 hours from where we were staying with Mom and Dad, so we rented a vehicle and went down the night before. We stayed outside the Disney park at Nickelodeon Suites where the rooms are character themed and they have a few water parks within the hotel properly. It was very chilly the evening we got there but that didn't keep the kids from swimming in the heated pools and Ali even braved some of the slides. To give you an idea of how cold it was, the life guards were in windbreaker pants, jackets, hats and gloves. :) Ali and Dakota were also very excited that we ended up with a Spongebob room. In the morning before we headed to Disney, we attended the character breakfast at our hotel where the kids got pictures with some of their favorite characters and got a chance to dance around the room with them.

Disney was so fun! The kids loved it! We were a little disappointed that we didn't see any of the characters walking around like they usually do so we don't have any pictures with them. I think they stick to a certain part of the park and by the time we headed there, they were done for the day.

The beginning of our day!


The Parade down Main Street....


...which Ali and Dakota were enthralled with!


The Winnie-the-Pooh ride has a play area as you wait in line, an awesome idea!


Ali says the Dumbo ride was her favorite


Trae wasn't so sure about it.

The grin on Dakota's face is so large because we were FINALLY riding the train that goes around the park. I'm fairly certain this was his favorite part of the entire day.

End of the day group shot. I don't think we look nearly as tired as we felt! :)
