The plan for Memorial Day:
Magic Kingdom.
What really happened:
Gatorland, Shell World, Orange World.
Here's why:
Well the hubby didn't want to go to the Magic Kingdom on a National Holiday, and looking back, that was probably bad planning on my part.
The morning started out with character photos. We got them taken in shirts that were waiting for us when we got to GKTW.

Orange World: This was an interesting store, it smelled like spoiled oranges but the building was cool!

Shell World: My dd loves seashells. So we went to Shell World for a little bit before heading to Gatorland.
The cool golf cart, all covered in seashells.

WARNING, WARNING, IF YOU DON'T LIKE REPTILES, SNAKES, AMPHIBIANS, ETC. STOP READING NOW, THERE ARE PICTURES BELOW YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO SEE!
Now let me digress for a little and tell you about my DH and DD. My husband is a country boy, born and bred, unlike me a city girl that got lost on a farm one day. My DD is exactly like my husband. She likes any kind of animal--including things that could relatively hurt her. So when we went to Gatorland and she TRIED TO CLIMB INTO THE ALLIGATOR PEN I was not at all surprised.
Hehe. Here are the pics:
Little Alligators:

After getting our picture taken with the Alligator and the Snake (which by the way was FREE!!) we left and went home and took a nap. I need to scan the picture so that you guys can see it, but my scanner is currently broken!
That night was the Discovery Cove Animals from SeaWorld. I'd like to say that I was very excited about this! I knew that my kids would love seeing the SeaWorld Animals.

That is what we got. One animal. No I don't know if this is how it normally is, but I was rather upset that there was only one animal. It wasn't really worth the time! The kids did like petting the monkey like animal though.
Miss Merry came and tucked us in this night, but since I can't upload my video, and I have no pictures of her there, I'll just show you this instead! Abbi sleeping on the couch, after Miss Merry left:
