We spent Thanksgiving week at Disney World in Florida. It really was an amazing trip. We saw almost everything there was to see at all four Disney parks. The kids had a blast spending the week with their cousins and grandparents. The cousins did a great job keeping each other going. There were tons of smiles and laughter and hardly any tears or whining. Here are some of the highlights:
Favorite ride: Splash Mountain (Clara and Charlie), Seven Dwarfs Mine Train (Katy), Everest (Jared)
Favorite character meeting: Ariel (Clara), Mickey (Charlie and Jared), Elsa (Katy)
Favorite roller coaster: Everest (Clara and Jared), Dinosaur (Charlie), Space Mountain (Katy)
Favorite restaurant: T-Rex Cafe (Clara and Charlie), Akershus (Katy), Ohana (Jared)
Favorite show: Voyage of the Little Mermaid (Clara), Turtle Talk with Crush (Charlie and Jared), For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration (Katy)
Favorite resort amenity: Three swimming pools (Clara), Cars character statues (Charlie), In-room Keurig courtesy of Grandma and Grandpa (Katy and Jared)
Favorite souvenir: gemstone ring (Clara), Boba Fett's blaster and t-rex puppet (Charlie), coffee mug (Katy), T-Rex Cafe beer glass (Jared)
Favorite memories: being with Ella and Owen; Elsa telling me that when she tried to use her powers to cool things off, her snow turned to rain; and not wanting to put my arms up on the roller coaster ride (Clara); being with Ella and Owen; bumping my head on the steering wheel of the race car; and dancing with the lady who was on stilts (Charlie); drying Jenny's jeans with the bathroom blower after the Kali River Rapids; returning to Epcot so Clara could replace the first gemstone ring she lost within 24 hours; and watching Elsa freeze Cinderella's castle (Katy); movie on the lawn at the resort; Clara squeezing my arm hard on Everest then squeezing really hard when the ride turned backward; and how disappointed Charlie was when he didn't get wet the first time we rode Splash Mountain (Jared)
