Disney, day 1

Yep, we're still alive over here in SA! Been a busy May...and when I've had free time, blogging wasn't what I felt like doing...honestly. But I think I'm back! Let's get to it! The awesome trip to Disneyworld!!!! Here we are on the plane to Orlando. Picture courtesy of Jeffrey! Great seats courtesy of having a crippled son!! Jonathan's crutch (which he was still having to use since it had only been two weeks since his surgery) and wheelchair were the ticket to short lines in the airport and at Disney! His knee didn't bother him at all thankfully.

After we landed in Orlando, we met up with Mike, Julie and fam as well as mom and dad. We then drove to the house we were staying in. It was great! 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, pool, and lots and lots of kid stuff there! Awesome!! The next day, Monday, we headed to Disney Hollywood Studio. One of the favorite rides was Toy Story. Here's Jeffrey and Jeremy waiting in line. I think over the whole week, the longest line we stood in was probably about 30 minutes. Sweet!!

Jonathan in the wheelchair. He was SOOO glad to have this, not only beacause it usually cut our wait time down, but mostly because he didn't have to walk around the parks. It was a great investment of $10/day!
Josiah, Lauren and Jeffrey on the Backlot tour.

The Mickey watertower.

One of my favorite shows....Beauty and the Beast. Arguably the BEST Disney movie ever made....well, Lady and the Tramp...that's a great one! OK, the best Disney animated musical. There you go...it gets that one for sure! Everybody's enjoying the show!

Posing for a picture outside of another ride. Notice the stroller Jeremy's got...our house had 4 strollers in the garage, so we brought one along to the park that only held food bags. It was so great because we were able to take in a lot of food and snacks (save big bucks) and I didn't have to carry any of the bags!! There were always ready hands to push the food stroller!

It was a fun day! Coming up next...day 2...Animal Kingdom!

Enjoyed seeing the pix of Day 1. Yet I enjoyed what I was doing that day as well.

So glad we could all go to FL together.

Jeremy Looks THRILLED to be pushing a stroller full of food!

For our 10th anniversary we got to see Beauty and the Beast in Atlanta at the Fox Theater. Every bit as good as the movie--probably my favorite one from that particular time in Disney history.
