Day 5 Animal Kingdom and Disney Hollywood studios

I know, I know I need to get back to the trip....

So this was our final day, and boy were we all feeling it. I wasn't sure that my feet were gonna make it! Poor Marshall was walking like a little old man, so we decided to rent him a wheel chair along with a double stroller for the kids. Well I knew that we got a free rental for the kids stroller from GKTW, well it turns out that the wheel chair was free too. Marshall said great we discover that on the last day!!

We decided to do Animal Kingdom first because there were only a few things there that we really wanted to see and since it was the last day and still had one park to go we had to do some picking and choosing.

First up we could not pass up a bugs life with Flick!! I think that is our favorite 3-d show!

I also for got to mention in an earlier post that when we were in MK we went to Monster inc.'s laugh show and before the show it said to text in your jokes and they might use them in the show...well I texted one with Amelia's name on it and they used her joke and said her Name and where she was from...she loved it.

Anyway from Flick we went over to ride the Dinosaur ride the kids all loves this one too. Then we headed to Mount Everest...I was a wimp and didn't want to ride ( I had a pounding head ache and by this time I was done with being twisted, turned, flipped, flopped, and just plum plopped!) So the 4 of them all went and wanted to go again...Nathan was kinda undecided, and they talked me into going...so the whole way through the line Nate couldn't make his mind up till we go right up to the ride and he said he didn't want to go again...so I opted out and took him out of the ride so I still didn't have to ride.

That was the last ride but let me see here are a few pictures that we took there...

(yes a child is missing...he didn't want to get in any of them)

So then we headed to Disney Hollywood studios...We spent the rest of the day there, there was a lot more stuff to do and some things we just didn't get too. Like the stunt show, which we had seen the last time we were there..but we didn't get to Fantasmic or what ever it is called, it wasn't until like 10 at night and well that was the last night and we were spent!

I think the kids had a great time here...their favorite ride there was Toy Story mania! It was a lot of fun!!!

and yes she poses for just about every picture she takes.

Day 4 Epcot....

On Day 4 we did Epcot, We started out at spaceship Earth and then worked our way to the right with Nemo, The Land, where we all road Soarin!! It was a great ride! Then on to Figment ( Journey into Imagination) and then on to the world showcases, this is the first time all the kids went to the world show cases well all of them any way. We worked our way around to the left hand side of the park where we did the Test Track...I'm not quite sure how many times we rode as the kids loved this ride I think the best at Epcot...of course Nathan loves Space as he was able to ride in a rocket!!

After we rode the Test Track..the kids played in some new cars...Mimi says she wants a car with no roof when she gets older!

Well it's late tonight and I have to get ready for the Easter Bunny...I hope you all have a wonderful Easter!!!

We are asking for prayers for Amelia as we will be visiting the orthopedics on the 28th and we want those hips to be perfect!! And if there are any misspelled words forgive me it's late and I can't get spell check to work!!

Day 3 Magic Kingdom!!!

So on day three we got up and headed to breakfast at the Gingerbread house and then over to the movie theater for pictures with Mickey and Minnie. They do that once a week at GKTW.

And here is a picture of us on Arrival day in front of our villa...

and another picture of our villa....

OK so off to the Magic Kingdom we went...

first ride they rode....the fly carpets of Aladdin....

and can you guess what we closed the park with? Yep we rode it about 20 times in a row...BIG THUNDER MOUNTAIN!!!

We did the Country Bears jamboree, the haunted house, Dumbo, saw Ariel and the fairies.... we spent the whole day there!!! Here are a few more pictures from the day...I tried to upload more to flickr..but apparently I've met my monthly upload so I'll be looking into some place else to upload pictures to.

And these are two of my favorite pictures.......

Blessings....

Arrival and Give Kids The World Village...

We arrived fine, had a great flight. At the airport we were greeted by some volunteers who helped us get our luggage and to the rental car. It was so funny, we had a really nice Chrysler Town N Country van loaded. We were getting in the van and all Nathan kept saying is we are going to jail, we are going to jail...I finally turned around and asked him what on Earth are you talking about. He (so innocently) said we are stealing this van and we are going to go to jail!! Poor uncultured kid! After much reassurance that we were only borrowing the van and not steeling did he finally calm down.

We arrived at the village in time for dinner and one of the nightly activities, Pirate and Princess party. Tyren and the kids did that while I went to orientation. They also visited the ice cream parlor that was open from 7:30 am and didn't close till 9:30 pm. We let them eat all the ice cream that they wanted and we didn't even sweat it if they didn't eat their supper. We were there after all, to have fun!!!

SATURDAY -- Day 1

Sea World.

We got up early on Saturday headed out to the ginger bread house for breakfast...

Then off to Sea world. the kids were raring to go, and yes it was a Saturday and it was crowded! the first ride the kids...meaning Amelia, Nate and Tyren was Atlantis...I personally can't stand these plunging rides so I didn't ride....Well these next few pictures are priceless. ( I have a lot of pics but I think I'm just going to upload them to a site and let you view them all from there)

This is the Atlantis ride it is a 60 ft, drop.... (be fore warned go to the potty first...you will be laughing at the cuteness!!)

Here they are coming down see the 2 white shirts....

Ready for it...this is priceless!!! This is a picture that I took of the picture that the ride took...we just had to buy this one!!!

See what I told you, you can't look at this picture and not smile or laugh! Even funnier you would think that they were petrified...well no they weren't they went back and rode it again!

That was pretty much the excitement for the day other than we fed the dolphins..Amelia LOVES dolphins, next to horse of course. So here are a few pictures of her and the dolphins the rest I will upload to a host site because there are many of these.....

Daddy trying to help her touch the dolphin.

After this we went to see the Shamu show and ride some kiddie rides, we went back to the village and had dinner at Katie's Kitchen which was all provided for us at the Village and it was Boston Market...it was delicious and the kids had some pizza delivered to the villa...all of it for free.

Day one down and 5 more to go...Next up day 2 both Universal Parks!!!

We are home....

Sorry for the lack of updates. We got home late last night, I tried to update as much as possible, but we went from sun up to well after sundown. I have over 500 pictures to sift through and post, I may just post them to a hosting site and put the link up on here.
But for now here is a link to a newspaper story that ran while we were gone..... http://www.thesttammanynews.com/articles/2009/03/24/news/doc49c98ddc95d1f967993026.txt
I hope to be back this weekend with more!!
