WDW Days 1 - 3

I'll do a quick post of a recap of our trip so far then I'll post some pictures. We've of course taken tons of photos so far, so I'll just have to post a few.



Day 1 - The long trip & Epcot



We left our house by 4:30 am as we planned. It was a very long trip, it seemed like we never get there since we stopped almost every hr or every hour and a half. The girls did good overall on the long trip. We were glad we left early and missed most of the traffic. Once we got there we went straight to Epcot & met up with Mama & Papa D. Eric went straight for the rides, while we went to wait in line to meet Mickey, Minne, Pluto, Goofy & Chip & Dale. Reagan did great meeting them and got their autographs & pictures taken with them. We then walked around the World Showcase at Epcot, where Bailey konked out in the stroller. So; Eric, Reagan, Mama & Papa D went to do a boat ride in Norway. They got up there and Reagan decided not to go. So Mama & Papa D went on the boat ride. As we made our way into Germany, we saw Snow White & the Prince and then a few minutes later after we started standing in line Dopey joined them. Reagan was actually more nervous about meeting them then she was Mickey & crew. We just walked around the rest of the world to scope things out for when we go visit again in the next few days. After the world showcase, we headed over to Nemo’s ride and we all did that ride, even Bailey. After we did that ride, we went to visit Crush and talk with him. In that show, Crush actually talks with the kids & lets them answer questions. The first question was “How to turtles reproduce?”. Crush answered it well. After that we all headed out of there to go check in & get to the house. We got checked into the nice house and finally got to bed.

Day 2 – Animal Kingdom

We got up Thursday morning and headed out to Animal Kingdom. We all headed over to the Safari ride to get a fastpass and then try to hit some shows. Well, we got there and it was only a 20 min wait, so we ahead and stood in line. With Oma & her wheelchair we all got in a different line and had a different jeep. The girls loved the Safari and giggled tons (got some funny pictures of them). It was a well done Safari and we all enjoyed it. After that we all went & got lunch. Eric, Chad & Opa headed over to ride Expedition Everest and loved it. Opa & Eric rode it twice. While they did that ride, the rest of us headed over to see The Lion King show. One of the workers shared some Disney magic with us and let Papa D use a wheelchair since he was going to miss the show since he can’t sit too long on a bench without a back. So with him & Oma in a wheelchair we ended up in the front row. The Lion King show was wonderful, we were the Elephant section. At the end of the show, they got Ansley & Reagan to be a part of the show and the girls did a great job. After the Lion King show, we were able to meet Donald, Mickey, and Minnie Mouse. After we met them, we headed over to Dino Land and did some of the rides there. They had fair type rides which Reagan loved. After that, we headed up to get our spot for the parade. We watched the Parade which was nice. Reagan got scared at first when the bears started the parade, but she was fine after that. She loved seeing the parade and her favorite part was seeing Mickey Mouse. After the parade; Eric, Reagan & I headed back over to DinoLand to do the Dinosaur ride. We’re proud of Reagan, it’s a dark scary ride and she did really well. After that we headed home so we could get dinner ready for Clarissa, Bonnie & Richie to come visit.

Day 3 – Kids Races

The only ones hitting the parks today are the guys and they are going to Universal & Island of Adventures. The girls did their races today and did really well. Reagan & Ansley did a 100 yard dash and both of them did great! They ran the whole time. Then Bailey did a diaper dash and did good. She had a fever on day 2, so we didn’t know if she would do it or not. She was feeling better today so that is good. All the girls got medals. We are getting ready for the big race tomorrow, so we will be taking it easy today and eating some pasta.

Apologize if there are any errors, we're having internet issues, so I haved to post while I can!
