Disney- Day 1, Magic Kingdom

For a little family get together, we met Stef, George, Will, and Susan at Disney.  As Florida residents, we get GREAT deals on hotels during off peak times, so even though Orlando is about 1hour and 15 minutes away, we stayed overnight for 3 days.  It is nice staying at the Disney Resort Hotels because they provide transportation to and from all the parks.  This is Jackson taking a quick dip in the sink getting ready for his first day at Disney.  You would never know by looking at this angel that he SCREAMED the whole way over the night before.  It was a fun ride...

All the rest of the pictures are all out of order.  I uploaded them in the wrong order and it is way too much trouble to sort them out. 

This is actually one of the last pictures of the night.  We finally got back to the hotel at around 10:30 -11.  We stayed for the Christmas Parade and fireworks.  Tyler was starting to get his second wind.

This is at the park after the fireworks.  Tyler has developed a love for lollipops, so you will see many pictures with them in hand.  They were both so tired.  But both of them loved the fireworks and they had snow on Main Street, which was neat.  It was quite cold here today, as you can see by the coats, blankets, and red noses.  But still fun!
I am not sure why, but we waited for about 10 minutes for this carousel ride to start.  So to keep Tyler entertained, Rich was playing with him and chasing him with the camera. 



Tyler had the best time on all the rides.  This was the first roller coaster he went on.  It is hard to see, but he and Rich are in the third car and he is screaming- not because he is scared, but because he did not get the airplane that he wanted.  He was fine and I think we went on that ride at least 6 more times.
Here is my favorite ride- not really- The Teacups.  But again, Tyler had fun and the is all that matters!


He loved the ride.  He is upset here because he wanted Rich to ride in a different cup.  He was fine as soon as the ride started.  Ah, the emotional roller-coaster of an almost 3 year old!

Waiting in line for Small World.

Here we are eating at the restaurant that overlooks the Small World ride.  Tyler loved waving to everyone going through the tunnel.  Funny story about this.  We were eating here while Stef, George and the kids were on another ride.  We did not realize that they finished that ride and went on A Small World.  Tyler is waving to everyone in the window and he gets all excited "I see Stefies! I waved to Stefies!"  And we were like that is great Tyler, did you see someone that looked like Stefies?  And he kept saying that he waved to Stefies.  Come to find out, he really did see them and he was right- he was waving at them.  Silly Mommy.
They have great diaper changing area for little ones.  It has lots of changing tables, a TV for the older kids to sit a watch, and a bathroom.  Jack was so pooped, he did not even move when I changed his diaper.

And on the Jungle Cruise.

Mommy, Jackson, and Tyler.



Tyler did not like the characters.  But we got at least one picture with Pluto.
Jack even got to ride some of the rides.
