Maya's Favorite Part of Disney


This was Maya's favorite part of the whole trip. She absolutely loved going to the pool especially going down the slide. She went down the slide repeatedly!

Animal Kingdom


The animal kingdom was one of the last parks that we went to. There was a whole dinosaur part which Ethan of course loved. He also was just tall enough to go on the big Mt. Everest ride which he loved! The safari ride was really neat and Maya actually enjoyed going on it. We were able to see all of the animals pretty close up!

Taking a Bath


After a long day at the park the kids enjoy a bubble bath

Universal studios


Erika, Mark, Eric, and myself went to Universal Studios one of the days during our stay. The kids stayed back with my parents because there weren't too many kid rides at the park and they got to go back to downtown disney and eat at a dinosaur restaurant! This day was probably the hottest day in florida and by the end of it I was absolutely exhausted but, I got to see the Harry Potter exhibit! It was exactly like you were in the movie and I enjoyed a butter beer in the excruciating heat!

Character Breakfast


One of the mornings before heading to the parks we had a character breakfast at Chef Mickey. We had a buffet breakfast during which every 10 minutes a different character would come and visit every table and sign the kids autograph books. we weren't sure what the kids would think of it. Maya was pretty scared of each character as they came but, wanted to see them just the same. Therefore I am in every picture with the characters. Even though Ethan could have cared less about the characters when we were at the parks he was captivated by the characters at the brunch. He especially loved Minnie Mouse and blushed when she gave him a kiss good-bye. After the breakfast we went to Epcot for a little bit. Maya was not impressed by epcot at all so she went back to the pool with Erika and Mark. Ethan's favorite ride in Epcot was the crash test dummy ride.
