Disney Vacation-Day 4

The 4th and final day of our Disney Vacation was spent at the Magic Kingdom again. We went to all of the rides or places that we hadn't gone to the day before. This day was the only sunny day we had, but it was also the HOTTEST! It was definately nice to have overcast days, which meant it wouldn't be as humid. Here are some pictures from the last day.

Erin and I with Drusella, step-mother, and Anastasia from Cinderella, my favorite Disney movie!

Me and Bill riding the racecars!

Michael meeting her favorite Disney princess, Aurora

Kelley meeting her favorite princess, Ariel!

On my 4th trip to Disney, I finally met my favorite princess, Cinderella! I was excited! She wasn't as pretty as some of the others, but I can finally say I met her.

Even though Bill didn't get to meet Pooh, who is his favorite, he was really excited to meet Mickey and Minnie!

Minnie, Bill, me and Mickey

My camera did terrible throughout this ride, but this is from the Buzz Lightyear ride

One last picture before leaving the Happiest Place on Earth!

After leaving the Magic Kingdom that afternoon, a few of us headed to Downtown Disney to do some shopping. It was hot and I was tired, so we didn't stay long. The next morning, we all got up around 5:30 and left our resort at 6:30 to head home. We only stopped for breakfast, 2 stops for gas and bathrooms breaks, and supper in Evansville and were home by 10:30.

As you can see we had a great time on our vacation and I definately didn't want it to end! There are so many things to see and do that you just can't fit them all in the days and I'm wishing that I would have done this or that. Oh well! I guess there is always next time! I'm so glad I got to experience Bill's first trip to Disney with him. He had such a good time and I can't wait to take our kids there some day! Hope everyone enjoyed my pictures!

Love and Blessings,

Disney Vacation-Day 3

On Tuesday, we headed to the Magic Kingdom, my favorite! We decided that since there was so much to see and do at this park, we would divide it up in 2 days so we wouldn't be rushed around. It was so much fun! Here are some pictures from the first day at Magic Kingdom!

Bill and Erin got Mickey ears!

Pinochio

Cinderella's Castle

Bill and I in front of Cinderella's Casle on Main St. USA!

Definately got tired of hearing the song, but something you have to do at Disney!

Someone was excited about their Mickey ears and their first trip to Disney!

Magic Kingdom is definately my favorite park at Disney, but I never would have guessed what would happen on our 4th and final day!!! Stay tuned to find out!!!

Disney Vacation-Day 2

Day 2 of Disney Vacation was Monday, July 5th and it was spent at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Here are some pictures from the day!

Bill and I at Hollywood Studios! :)

The Tower of Terror ride! I rode this with my sister's Kelley and Erin!

Pixar Studios was neat, especially since Toy Story 3 had just came out.

This area was so neat!

This is a movie re-enactment and tour.

The Muppet Fountain

The Muppet Vision 3D is one of my favorite shows at Disney...

...and it is now one of Bill's! He loved it!

We had a late lunch at Pizza Planet, which is from Toy Story!

And my favorite thing about Hollywood Studios-the Aerosmith Rockin' Roller Coaster!!!

As you can see, there were a lot of fun things to do at Hollywood Studios. We saw lots of shows and rode a few fun rides. The best story of the day was Bill riding the Rocking Roller Coaster. Bill hates rollercoasters, but said since he went all the way to Disney, he was willing to try them. He did really good the day before on the Mt. Everest rollercoaster at Animal Planet, so he was feeling pretty good about riding the Rockin' Roller Coaster. So we get on the ride and he is starting to think differently, but I on the other hand LOVE rollercoasters and was really excited! Some rollercoasters go up a big hill and start out slow...not this one. It takes off fast and is that way the entire time! As soon as it takes off, Bill grabs my hand and squeezes so hard that I thought he ripped my fingernail off! He is screaming like a girl, as I scream at excitement! As soon as it is done, I tell Bill the ride is over and he just sits there because he doesn't believe me! Then I thought he was going to get sick because he jumped off the ride, but he didn't and just wanted to get away from the ride! I asked him if he saw all of the cool things (the ride is inside and it is dark and has neon lights and roadsigns) and he says he didn't see anything because his eyes were closed the entire time! Oh he is too funny! God bless him for trying, but after that ride, he was done with rides for the day! I love that he tries to do things that I like, but he didn't like that at all! My sister Erin and I enjoyed it so much that before we left the park, we rode it one more time. I highly recommend it!

When we got back to the hotel, Bill and I decided to go swimming, but shortly after getting in the pool, it started to rain. So we went and ate some supper and cooled out for the night and went to bed early. We had a big day the next day because we were going to the Magic Kingdom!!!!

More Disney Vacation to come in the next blog!
