Jon's parents took our family to Disney World in Florida and it was a super fun treat! The pictures certainly the tell the story in this post, so I will get to that. I would like to say though that we had an absolute blast and that it is definitely a trip that Jon and I will never forget. Thanks so much Mike and Cindy!
The first evening there, we decided to try to get a little time in at one of the parks, so we went straight to the Magic Kingdom, where all of the "magic" begins!
The whole group, minus Jon in front of the castle! We didn't spend a ton of time together because the boys a older than Hannah and wanted to do some other things in the parks. We often ate meals together and swam at the end of the day!
Since we were there, we of course had to watch the fireworks. Hannah was absolutely mesmorized!
After two days, I had zero proof that I was even on this vacation, so Jon snapped a picture of me while we were getting lunch ready! I was there!
It took Hannah a while to really understand what was going on, but once she did she was all aboard the Disney train and ran around like any good, Disney-lovin, three year old girl should!
Hannah was also a big fan of the shuttle buses that brought us back and forth between the parks and the hotel...mostly, I think, because she didn't have to ride in a carseat! Being silly with Daddy and Grandpa.
Nan got to meet her favorite Disney peeps of all time...Buzz and Woody. They were the first characters that she had met, so she was a litttle timid, but then again stranger-danger is usually a good thing.
Cooling off in the water play area. We could have stayed there all day!
We went to a different park to ride the Buzz Lightyear ride. One our way out of the ride, Hannah suddenly took off running and screaming. We ran after her to see what the heck was going on and when we caught up to her we saw what all of the commotion was all about. She saw Buzz walking around the park. She was SOOO happy to see him that she could barely contain herself. So we wait in the line to see him again and this time she was not afraid one bit. In fact, she really didn't want to leave whatsoever!
The Animal Kingdom was pretty cool, although the lines were insanely long! Hannah's the kind of person that is highly excitable...we can get her excited about nearly anything. With that, crazy long lines aren't so great because the excitement wears off just as quickly as it comes. This is in the first five minutes of our wait...the 80 minutes that followed were not so exciting!
Chip and Dale
Donald Duck...after Buzz, she insisted on hugging every character that she met. It made for some really adorable pictures too, so I'm glad she did it!
You've gotta love Goofy right?!?
Finally! The big man himself...the star of the show...the one that we waited four days to see...Mickey Mouse!
We all had to get in on the Mickey action!
This one's super cute with Pluto!
She was so happy to see Minnie again...they chatted.
Of course you have to get a beer in Germany!
And Italian food in Italy with fantastic gelato to wash it all down!
Our favorite swimming spot at our resort...there were two pool, a lazy river, and a bar to order up pina coladas just steps away from the door of our building.
The pirate ship pool at our resort. I really wanted to check it out, but I knew better because Hannah is too little to do anything there. It looked really cool though, so maybe next time!
Getting a little sun before leaving the resort!
Hannah played and played and played...she had a wonderful time. We could have spent all four days at the resort just swimming and doing the activities! This was such a wonderful vacation for all of us...it was relaxing, yet jam packed with cool things to do. We truly made some great memories on this trip and I actually look forward to the possibility of going back some time!
