4 days at Disneyworld

  • 5-23-11 - Well, today we went to Epcot. We did not get there until noon because I had to register the van this morning, and then we decided to go to lunch before we got there. The kids were amazed by the big golf ball, which was our first ride. It’s a very boring ride, but they enjoyed it. Next to Mission to Mars. Kevin took Logan and Haley first while Derek and Isaac played on an indoor playground, and then thanks to Baby swap I got to walk onto the ride through Fast Pass with Haley and Logan. Then we went on the energy ride where Derek kept waving at the dinosaurs. We then went to Test Track where again Issac and Derek had to sit out, so Kori bought them a popsicle to share. Isaac was feeding it to derek and they were taking turns, but it was started to melt, so Kori took it from Isaac and was feeding both of them. Derek didn't like that he took the popsicle from her and gave it back to Isaac. Kori then took Haley and Isaac back on the ride. Then onto the Finding Nemo ride, which is also an aquarium and they also had Talking Time with Crush which is an interactive show with a turtle. Logan got to ask Crush a question, and he asked him "are all sea turtles green" he said "no, but I'm a green sea turtle and it's because I eat things that are green. What do you eat" Logan answered in an are you stupid voice "food" . Then we went to the imagination ride where Derek liked the Dragon. Then Captain EO which was Isaacs favorite ride. After that it was to the country of England where we had the best Fish and Chips we've ever had. Logan absolutely loved them until he threw everything up. We went to the rides in Mexico and Norway. Then on the way home we stopped by McDonalds to get some Frozen Strawberry Lemonades.
Unfortunately I accidently deleted all our pictures from our day at Epcot and the first half of the magic kingdom.














5-24-11 Magic Kingdom. To get to the Magic Kingdom, you park, take a tram, then take a ferry across the lake and then into the park. At the ticket counter, you are still over a mile from the park entrance. We had a great day and hit a ton of rides. Alladin's magic carpet, pirates (2x), Splash mountain (the kids got to go 2x), we got Goofy's autograph, Lunch, Big Thunder mountain (Haley and Logan went 2x), Small world, Merry-go-round (2x), Mickey's Philharmagic 3D, Speedway, Buzz Lightyear (Isaac, derek, and Kori 2x), Got pics and autographs with Buzz, Kevin, Haley and Logan went on Stitch's Great Escape, Monster inc. Laugh Floor, Space Mountain (haley and logan 2x) Peter Pan and finally the Jungle Cruise. We got a dole whip and then on the way out (yummmm) and then picked up a Giordano's Chicago stuffed pizza on the drive home (also yumm). The kids have been excellent. Haley pushed Isaac's stroller almost all day. There has been very little if any arguing, and almost perfect behavior except for the last 30 mmins or so of the day. However, considering that we did not get home until 2 hours after the kids bed time and had not had dinner yet, you can hardly blame them. Haley and Logan are really getting into the bigger rides. They are cute as they get so excited about Big Thunder Mountain and Space Mountain. Isaac is tall enough for the first time for rides like Splash Mtn and Big Thunder Mtn. He liked Splash Mtn (except for the dark cave right before the big drop in which he scrunches his eyes closed as hard as he can). He was not as wild about Big Thunder Mtn. He did the eye-scrunching thing the whole time. However, he did not cry or complain on any ride. I think he did better than any other kid we have had on the first time. Derek loved Small World and the Carousel and was nearly as monstrous as we expected.
