Six months of secrets.
Six months of excited frustration.
Six months of teasing and taunting the six year old and he had no idea.
Six days of amazing Disney fun.
A lifetime of memories and 1000 pictures!
Don't worry. I won't post them all here.
Day 1:Arrival / Downtown Disney
 |
| We woke DJ at four something in the AM and told him to pack a bag we were going to Disney. He didn't believe us. |
 |
| First flight ever. He loved it. |
 |
| At Caribbean Beach Resort check-in they gave him a sword and an eye patch. He had no idea why. |
 |
| Self explanatory. |
 |
| We booked the Pirates of the Caribbean room. There was pirate shit everywhere. |
 |
| Downtown Disney. |
 |
| He loved these guys. |
 |
| My favorite place. I didn't want to leave. |
Day 2:Magic Kingdom, Part 1
 |
| Pirate treasure adventure. |
 |
 |
| Taking the pirate pledge! |
 |
| Joining the pirate parade! |
 | ||
| We stayed late to see the fireworks at each of the four main parks | . |
 |
| I didn't want to leave the Biergarten. Ever. |
 |
| Big Guy and Little Guy. |
 |
| Shark Bait! |
Day 4:Animal Kingdom
 |
| Breakfast of champions. |
 |
| While out on the Savannah Truck tour it began to rain. |
 |
| A lot. |
 |
| This giraffe took shelter right next to the trail. |
 |
| Playing in the mud. |
 |
| Baby elephant! |
 |
| Wet cat. |
 |
| Random drumming. |
 |
| Great, really amazing food at the Yak & Yeti. Don't let the name scare you away. |
 |
| Diggin' up dinosaur bones. |
Day 5:Magic Kingdom Part 2
 |
| Invasion of the ducks. They are everywhere. |
 |
| Monorail. |
 |
| We used every form of transportation Disney had to offer. This is the view from the ferry. |
 |
| Since we had been there, 2 days before, the fall elves came to visit and decorated all of Magic Kingdom. |
 |
| When choosing the path to the Haunted Mansion...take the cemetery path. Too funny. |
 |
| Pirate mouse ears. |
 |
| Sword in the stone. I think he pulled something but not the sword. |
 |
| Stand anywhere long enough and a parade breaks out. |
 |
| The pumpkin faces killed me. |
 |
| AHHHHHHHHHH! |
 |
| Boat ride to the Polynesian Resort for the Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show. |
 |
| For every duck there are 1 million of these guys. |
 |
| DJ dancing. |
 |
| For the girls. Or guys. |
 |
| For the guys. Or girls. |
 |
| For the pyromaniacs. |
 |
| Where's the monkey chow? |
 |
| This show was a blast. |
 |
| My husband was an extra. |
 |
| The 50's Diner waitress managed to get him to set the table. Spectacular comfort food and plentiful! |
 |
| Jedi Training Academy. Awe. Some. Sauce. |
 |
| This lady had the patience of a saint. |
 |
| Most of this I have on video. DJ actually hassled the Storm Troopers. They were all good sports. |
 |
| DJ was picked to help in this stunt show. He drove a remote control car! |
For those of you who made it to the bottom I hope I didn't bore you too much.
It truly was the trip of a lifetime. Mostly because we probably will never be able to afford to go again. :)
Thanks for coming!
Don't forget to stop in on Friday to see what Nancy S. Thomson has to share with all of us!
