Disneyworld - the lost pictures

You didn't think we were going to let you get away without sitting through this one, did you? Of course we found some lost pictures from our trip that Mommy just couldn't fit into our trip highlights video! So here's another summary of our trip in pictures - not the highlights, just the lost pictures...

Rise and shine! Our trip started nice and early in the morning - that's 3:49 *AM* on Daddy's watch as he's about to wake me up.


And here we are, exactly an hour and fifteen minutes later, having breakfast at the airport, while watching our plane being prepared at the gate...


Burning off a bit of energy in the kids area at the JetBlue terminal -


Finally, on the flight...


And able to relax a bit with our morning TV...


Eventually, we made it to our hotel at Disneyworld, and it was beeeeeeeeeeeautiful.


The best part might have been these rocking chairs in the lobby, which we tried out while Mommy and Daddy were checking into our room.


Why did we love the rocking chairs so much? Hmmm, have a guess....


A TV with all Mickey, all the time!

Of course, after that extra early wake-up and the three hour flight to Orlando, once we checked into our room, we needed a bit of a nap, with our usual untraditional sleeping arrangement...


On our first day at Disneyworld, we spent the afternoon at the great hotel pool, then chilled and lounged a bit poolside.


But eventually, we did make it out of the hotel, and the Magic Kindgom was our first stop. We were sure to be there before the park even opened so we could catch the opening ceremonies.


Then a spin in Alice's Teacups - one of the many, many, MANY rides we went on while there.


Killing time during a bit of a wait for the hotel - theme park bus...


Dinner at Rainforest Cafe - with fishies, my favorite!


Eventually, of course our trip had to come to an end. We spent the last day at Disneyworld exactly the same way we spent our first - at the pool. After a great late morning swim, I was sure knocked out, all the better to get a bit of rest before our flight home.


Then, a ride on the Disney Magical Express to the Orlando airport.


Where, believe it or not, they had more fishies!


And ice cream!


And then, the flight home (while clutching the miniature dinosaurs I selected as the one gift each that Mommy and Daddy allowed me and Jasper to get - apparently, the trip itself was a gift...


What a great trip this was. We're so glad we were able to track down these lost pictures to relive our memories once more.

Disney World!!!

As some of you know, a few weeks back, Mommy and Daddy had a big surprise for me and Everett - a trip to Disney World!!! We love Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Pluto, Chip, Dale and all the characters from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and were so excited to go visit them at their home in Florida. 

So, last Sunday, we packed our bags and got on a plane super early and made our way to Orlando. We stayed at Animal Kingdom Lodge which is one of the newer resorts. But the coolest thing? It was like we were living in a zoo with giraffes, antelopes and other animals roaming around the property. 

We visited Magic Kingdom first and made a beeline to meet all of the characters. We rode some rides - Dumbo, Madhatter's Tea Party, Peter Pan's Flight, the carousel, racing cars - and ran all around. Mommy and Daddy even let us stay up past our bedtime and we returned at night to see the parade and Mickey, Minnie and Goofy light up Cinderella's castle. 

The next day, we visited Animal Kingdom and went on a safari and saw lots and lots of animals, dinosaurs and fishies. We went also went to see Finding Nemo - the Musical but only made it about halfway through the show because both Everett and I were scared. 

On the last day, we went to Downtown Disney to visit the largest Disney character store in the world. Mommy and Daddy promised us each one present for being good boys on the trip. Everett chose a pack of 8 mini dinosaurs and I chose a set of three Disney buses. 

Instead of boring you with a million posts on Disney or a super long post filled with pictures, Everett and I decided to put together a little video of some of the highlights from our trip. 




We had so much fun. Thank you Mommy and Daddy! When can we go back?
