Walt Disneyworld Spring Break!

 Day 1

We caught a plane to Florida and checked into our condo, then went and found some delicious pizza.

Day 2

We started at the Blizzard Beach Waterpark, and basically had the whole park to ourselves.  It rained off and on during the day, so people cleared out.  At one point, they shut down the slides, so we went and got ice cream, and waited it out.  Such a fun way the start the day!

Next, we headed over to the Winter Summerland gold course and enjoyed our time there.

Finally, we ended the day at Epcot and watched their evening show.

Day 3
We started the day off in Animal Kingdom.  At lunch, Scott's drink had a plastic soda nozzle fall into it.  He told the workers and they gave us some Lion King cupcakes for free. That was neat!

Then we headed over to Cape Canaveral and watched a rocket launch from the Space View Park.  That was amazing to witness!

Day 4
We started the day off in Epcot and were able to get a lunch reservation at a yummy German buffet.  It was entertaining and delicious; especially the cheese soup.

Then we bipped over to Hollywood Studios and went on the Slinky Dog Dash roller coaster, explored Star Wars Land, and caught the Indiana Jones show.

Day 5
We hung out in Magic Kingdom and Epcot this day.  Finding some yummy treats was a bonus.

Day 6
We hung out all St. Patrick's Day in Epcot.  Figment was fun, but the new Ratatouille ride was marvelous! You felt like a little mouse scurrying through their huge human kitchen.

We splurged and ate at a classy restaurant called 'Space 220'. The atmosphere was extraordinary and you actually felt you were in outer space. The price was out of this world too!- $531- by the time we paid the dinner including $84 tip! Most pricey dinner of all time up to this point. 


Day 7
This day was a full one at Animal Kingdom. We loved riding the Everest rollercoaster back to back.  Then we rode a few other rides, caught the safari, then a "Finding Nemo" play, and dinner at Rainforest Cafe.  We ended the night at Magic Kingdom, 12 miles later.

Day 8
We hung out in Hollywood Studios ate at the Sci Fi Diner Theater.  In the evening, we saw the Fantasmic boat show. We were cold because of the sprinkling rain.

Day 9
Our final day was spent in the Magic Kingdom. We got to try the new Tron rollercoaster, get some yummy treats, and do one of my favorite rides: Winnie the Pooh.  

Day 10
We boarded our flight home. Scott's view vs. mine.  

We enjoyed pin trading on the trip. The kids were grateful for jackets since it was pretty cold. All in all, a great and memorable trip!
