Anyway back to our trip. It was crazy crowded but still really fun! We got to ride all the fun rides I remember from my childhood at Disneyland in California. The kids loved them all. Ben loved each and every ride so we had to pull him away from everything promising there was more fun to come. Ashlee loved all the rides she could ride, but got really scared at the 3-D shows when snakes and spiders came out at you. She didn't mind the huge dog that tried to sniff her on "Honey I shrunk the Audience". Mara was funny. Before she went on the "roller coasters" (I put that in quotes because these roller coasters are nothing like the roller coasters at 6 flags which she loves) she was nervous and didn't want to go on them, but then after she went on them she loved it and wanted to do it again. David's goal while we were there was to be as efficient as we could and hit everything we could and wait the least amount of time. The night before each kingdom he studied the map on the Internet and mapped out where we were going to go when. I think all that work paid off. Most of the lines we waited in weren't more than 30 min. We waited in 1 or 2 40 minute lines, but that is not bad. We saved time by eating our lunch in line. Disney has recently changed their policy about bring food in the park. So so we ate a lot healthier since we didn't have to buy chicken nuggets and french fries for $10 every day. One day was brought egg salad sandwiches, knowing our kids "hated" them but thought they would be hungry enough to eat them. Well lets just say Mara didn't having any lunch that day. Ben did find that he loves them and wants them for his school lunch now. Anyway here are some pictures of us on our trip!
Okay so I am not so good with heights.
This was a good one to go on in the middle of the day when it is hot.
The end of an exhausting but fun day at the Magic Kingdom.
We had to drive the cars.
Taking a break drinking our smoothies. With space mountain in the background. We were sad we didn't get to go on that one. We make it to that part of the park at the end of the day and this ride was closed for technical difficulties.

The 3 kids on the Aladdin magic carpet
These 2 pictures were actually taken at Sea World. We went there Monday and brought the kids swim suits knowing the temp was going to get to 89 degrees. The little splash playground was a good break for the kids in hottest part of the day.
The rest of the week didn't get that hot so all in all we had really good weather for our fun trip.

Looks so fun! Someday we will go...someday. Yeah, I don't get the economy recession either. People still seem to be out and about buying.
Brings back lots of great memories! We are planning another trip back, we are horrible planners, we never go when they are having their great deals!!! So next year we are going again! Glad you had a great time
