Hey Howdy Hey. I am Heather, and my super-awesome family of five took a little trip to the World last month. Come along with us as we relive it for your reading pleasure. Expect lots of pics, mini-reviews of restaurants, and some silliness.
Who are we?
Troy, Heather, A.J. (12), Leah (10) and Paige (5)
We visited Disney World from November 19 - November 27 (Thanksgiving, people!) and we lived to tell the tale. In fact, we had ZERO crowd issues. I am will go into that more later.
We have been to Disney many, many times. people ask, "why are you going back?" Well, because in Disney my kids all get along, my too-cool-for-school 12 year old son sleeps with his Figment stuffie, and I don't have to do dishes. Reason enough for ya?
Visual proof of kids getting along:
This trip included many FIRSTS for a family of vets. Most importantly, it was the first time we surprised the kids. We told them in the airport where we were really going! This was also or first time using FP+ and MBs. In September 2013 we stayed off-site for the first time(meh - both good and bad but mostly meh), so we missed out on these things. I will review our first experience with the MyMagic elements as we go, but suffice it to say WE ARE IN LOVE. FP+ is not without it's issues, and I will go into them, but I'll mainly sing it's praises. If you don't like it, consider yerself warned, matey.
Each day we made it a point to do SOMETHING for the FIRST time. We rode the rides we tend to bypass. We saw shows we never thought we'd like. We stayed somewhere we have never stayed (the Yacht Club - awesome - more on that later). We took an entire day off and did nothing! It was amazing and is something we will do every trip now.
So come along with us and let's relive 9 days of magic, memories, laughter, silliness, a bit of rain, many firsts, and so much more.
