Disneyworld pics

During our last furlough, we took our first trip to Disneyworld in Florida. We had only 2 days to squeeze 4 parks in. So this time, we decided to make a week of it (well 5 days anyways). The boys are older now, and enjoying more of the fast rides. We all had a wonderful time, and plan to take an even longer vacation to Disneyworld next furlough. Of all the parks, the boys decided that they enjoyed Animal Kingdom the most (as far as animals were concerned).

Jamin's favorite animal-Meerkat!

Kilamajari Safari Ride

The boys felt at home with the bamboo in the park.

Jamin played one of those games where you shoot water out of a pistol into a hole. This is what he won!

For some reason, our boys really enjoy putting on goofy hats. Here are a few of those pics....

We took every advantage of resting during parade times.

The week we were at Epcot, they had a Flower Festival going on. Every shrub was in the shape of some kind of Disney character. It was really beautiful. Epcot was Mom and Dad's favorite place....especially the food at Epcot. By the way, the Disney Dining Plan is way bueno!!!!

With the Dining Plan, each of us got one free snack a day. The boys usually ate the Mickey icecream! It really was big enough for two people to eat on, but we let them splurge and have it all to theirselves.

Going to WDW in late April wasn't terribly hot, however it was nice to cool off every once in awhile with the little sprayers that they had placed every so many yards.

We made all the firework shows during the evenings. We went to Epcot twice to watch theirs.....being our most favorite of all the fireworks!

There is a ride at Animal Kingdom that is kind of misleading. It's called the 'Mt. Everest'. The rollercoaster takes you up inside the mountain that pictured down below. Everything is goin along fine, until it stops and goes backwards. We have no idea what really happened, but I (mom) thought for sure we went upside down there for awhile. Experienced riders told me we had not. However, this was my first and last of the scary rides for the trip. Jamin loved it!

Another ride that I thought would be an easy one....it wasn't, but we all did this one.

Aside from the usual stuff to do at Disneyworld, we decided to take a walk through all the shops in Downtown Disney (or maybe it was the Boardwalk). Anyways, there is a neat Lego store, where you can buy anything dealing with Legos of course. There are several little stations set up outside where the kids can be creative and play 'til their hearts content.

Our other favorite thing to eat/drink at WDW were the Frozen Lemonades. We usually chose to get the Minute Maid brand, but in MGM, we couldn't find them, so we had to settle for the Lemonade slushes. It didn't really matter, it still helped cool us off!

Thank you Disneyworld for such a magical experience!!!!! We will see you again someday!
