Trip #1: September 2-9
We stayed at the Coronodo Springs resort. It was nice! I'd never stayed on property before, but it was really fun. Our first day was at Hollywood Studios. The highlight for Mckynlee was the Ariel show. For the rest of the week, she was singing "ah ah ah" everywhere we went.
We didn't get to see Mickey for very long because another guest had picked him up (who does that?) and he had hurt his back. People are weird.
The next day started at Hollywood Studios. We did a lot of park hopping this day! After Hollywood Studios, we went to Magic Kingdom.
We ended the night watching the fireworks at Epcot. We kept telling Mckynlee, "look, see how pretty the fireworks are?!" At one point we looked down (she was snuggled into Jake's shoulder) and she had tears streaming down her cheeks and she says, "So pretty mommy. So pretty." Poor thing. Trying to hard to enjoy the fireworks that were actually scaring her. I love that little girl.
Trip #2: Halloween(ish)
Trip #3: Thanksgiving Break
Trip #4: Christmas
My parents were so nice, and offered to take Mckynlee back to the hotel for an earlier bed time (she'd had a long day) so Jake and I could stay later with my brothers.
As you can see, Jake is obviously superior on the Buzz Lightyear ride. Also, we were stopping to get a treat and the employee asked if we wanted to sample their vanilla cake pops. Sure! Little did we know that we would each get a whole one for free! Wahoo! We finished with the firework show, and it was awesome. Maneuvering through crowds without a stroller is SO much easier. Although we really did miss Mckynlee.
Dad -- Grumpy, because why not?
Mom -- Happy, she's a grandma, so it makes sense
Jake -- Doc, because he's really smart
Me -- Sleepy, I have a toddler, need I say more?
Kevin -- Bashful, he's quiet, but hilarious
Cayson -- Dopey, he's the youngest. He could also be Sneezy. The kids allergic to everything.
Unfortunately, Snow White (AKA Mcks) wasn't really feeling super chipper for pictures. Haha.
Cayson had been sick that day, so he and my parents and Mcks headed back to the hotel to get some more sleep. Kevin, Jake, and I had some spare Fastpasses to use, so we decided to stay a little later. We did a few things at Epcot, then headed to Hollywood Studios. Instead of waiting for the Disney bus (our car was at Hollywood Studios) we decided to walk it on the back path. We walked FAST. We made it to Hollywood Studios with 15 minutes to spare before the park closed. We went as fast as we could and rode Rockin' Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror as many times as we could. Because it was Christmas Eve, it really wasn't too busy. So that plus FP made for some very short wait times. It was a blast! And a lot of walking. |
