Disney World

We just got home from a really great week in Disney World with the kids.  We spent six days exploring Epcot, Magic Kingdom and some of the amenities at our hotel.  There are far too many photos to fit within the limitations of this little blog, so I'll just post a few.  Overall, we had a great time and highly recommend an off-season visit.  The prices were lower (although that's not saying much, Disney is expensive no matter when you go), and there were almost no crowds.  Aside from the first Saturday we were there, we really didn't have to wait in line more than a few minutes for any of the rides.  It was so nice to just say, hey, let's ride this one, and hop on.  I honestly don't know that I would like Disney in the high season.  In fact, I'm sure I wouldn't.  Especially with two very young kids with no patience for long lines.  The weather was great except for the first day (burrr!!) and we enjoyed the break from the cold.

Some of the highlights for the kids of our week included:

Hugs and kisses from lots of their favorite characters.





Getting faces painted.






Driving a race car all by themselves. (This was certainly a favorite for both kids!)





Riding on a boat to get to the parks in beautiful weather.



Strenghening their immune systems by touching every single trash can and running their hands over every single hand rail in all of Disney World.



Flying the planes in tomorrowland.



Getting to spend some of the money they had saved and been given by relatives on toys and candy.
Dessert with almost every meal.
Swimming in January!
I could go on and on... let's just say we indulged in pure fun for six straight days.  What a treat for all of us. :)
