Disney

Oh, how I've been dreading this blog update! How to best fish through the hundreds of pictures to put a select few in this silly blog? I think I've figured out a system...a couple of pictures from each of the places we visited. Now, it's 10:00. If I can get this done before midnight, I'll be so happy!!

The Hotel -- All Star Movies -- we stayed in the Toy Story section (as evidenced by the ginormous Buzz Lightyear)

Then we went to Downtown Disney where we ate at Planet Hollywood. We also loved the Lego store:

We started our park visiting with Animal Kingdom:
Back to the hotel for some swimming!

The next day, we tackled EPCOT

We ate at a Moroccon restaurant (complete with a belly dancer):

And then I took about a blue-zillion pictures in the dark without my flash trying to figure out how to photograph fireworks. NONE of which you will see here. However, it paid off for the show at Magic Kingdom. And I did get a few good ones of the "Giant Golf Ball" -- as the boys call it.The next day was our turn at the Magic Kingdom (my personal favorite):

And I took over 200 pictures at the Electric Parade and fireworks show alone, but I'll just get the highlights:

Isn't that last one scary looking?

Anyway, that's about the extent of it. We also visited Hollywood Studios, but the boys didn't find much there that they loved, so we left after just a bit (gotta love the Hopper pass!). The last couple of days, I specifically didn't take my camera because I wanted to just enjoy myself. I'm going to take the pictures I did get and make the boys each a photo book, and keep one for Jeff and I to look over when we're old and grey.

It's 11:31 now, and I'm wiped, but 29 minutes ahead of schedule. Good night!
