Disney World

Who knew you could enjoy 2 days at Disney World, on the last weekend of summer, and not wait in a single line? I have to give a shout out to Tara for being the world's best Disney day planner! Thanks to Tara, this is the only line we had to wait in the entire time we were in the Disney Parks, and it was a 5 minute line for the Jungle Safari in Disney World (a ride that never has a line longer then 5 minutes). Talk about being prepared, Tara actually bought a program on planning your day at Disney, and I have to say it was full of so many helpful hints, it was awesome. In the end fast passes in combination with the parent swap is the perfect solution. If you have both, you NEVER wait in line. Thanks Tara.

This is for you Bob. We took Lucy to Disneyland a year and a half ago, and we made the mistake of taking her on Pirates of the Caribbean first. She was terrified of any ride after that. The second it looked like it was getting dark, she burried her head. The fear lived on here at Disney World. This is her second try on Pirates of the Caribbean a who year and a half older, no change. The funny thing is that Jack had the same problem. He wasn't such a fan.

Ok, that is just a cute picture. Lucy loved this little play place they had in Toon Town. We let the kids play in here for 10 minutes while Jeff went to grab some fast passes and we all loaded up on some water. Lucy and Luke, can you tell they are cousins?

The Tea Cups, a ride I have always hated. It didn't help that while we waited I had to watch a worker clean some throw up out of one of the cups. That's when I said "Memo to self, do not sit in a yellow cup." I took the girls in the non spinning cup, and Tara took the boys in the wild and crazy cup. Too bad Kate knew the cup was suppose to spin because by the end of the ride she and Lucy gained up on me.

Lucy got to meet 3 princesses, Cinderella, Bell, and Sleeping Beauty. She didn't really like Cinderella (which was weird because she has seen the movie), Bell was the same, she just didn't want anything to do with them, Jack did, he flirted with them. But when we got to Sleeping Beauty Lucy perked right up. She turned into a complete chatter box. She was telling her how old she was, that she liked her dress, about her day, etc. It took me a second to figure out why she liked Sleeping Beauty and then it hit me. The pink dress. Apparently Lucy has a favorite color, Pink.



Meeting Minnie and Mickey. Lucy was SOOOO excited, the highlight of her trip. She ran right up and was being so sweet to Minnie, as I expexted, but by the time we left she didn't care about Minnie because she couldn't get ove Mickey. Wish we would have gotten more pictures of her interaction with them, it was priceless. It was awesome when they realized Jack was asleep too. I wish I could be a Disney character (almost).






After one successful day, Lucy was a happy camper. She was ready to take Minnie and Mickey home. Too bad those dolls are like $75 a piece, but the picture was adorable.
