Disneyworld 2013

This post is picture intensive, but if you pay the crazy money to go to Disneyworld, you might as well have some pictures to prove it, right?

We went last week for 5 nights and six days to Disneyworld.  My parents flew out from Vegas to go with us, so the big boys could stay in a room with them and they went to all the parks with us.  We went to all the parks once and had an additional half day in Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios.  We rode about every ride at least twice (well there were some that weren't worth riding twice, and a couple that we didn't wait the wait to ride twice).  We went while the kids were in school so that it wouldn't be really crowded, but somehow we hit the winter breaks for the northeast and a princess half marathon, so it was crazy busy.  I think next time we will figure out how to go over Thanksgiving or Spring Break so that the kids don't miss so much school if the park is going to be busy anyway. 

 

 We had a coupon that we used when we signed up so we could have the dining plan for free with our hotel stay there.  That let us go to many of the character dining spots where we got fed a great meal and the characters came and visited us.  The kids generally weren't that interested in the characters, but they would stand up and take a picture with them when I told them too.  When Pooh and Tigger came, Nate was really excited to see them, though.

 I looked through the kids clothes and found clothes that were generally the same color every day.  Then when we were walking around the super crowded parks, we could easily spot our children by the color they were wearing.  Some days the colors matched better than others...

 Ellie saw all the girls with their faces painted and she really wanted to get her face painted too, so she did that one day.  It stayed almost perfect all day.

 Nate and Ellie ran into Minnie walking one morning so they went for a walk with her.

In a few years, we will have to do it again!
