Disney 2012

Yep you guessed it.  Jon and I went to Disney World again.  This time it was over spring break and we took Megan and Jake with us this time.  This was the first time for the two of them.  This was fun for myself I hope that everyone had as much fun as I did.  This was the first time for Jon and I drove to Disney World the second time that we have drove to Florida.  I will have to say will never do it in one day again.  I did not think that we were ever going to get out of the car.  Oh and it was the day of the UK vs. UofL so we left at like 3 am so that we could make it to Disney before the game this did not happen so we stopped in Gainsville to watch the game at Ruby Tuesday's  We did live to tell about it.

Every time that Jon and I go to Disney we try and stay at a new resort.  This time we stayed at the Animal Kingdom Lodge.  This was a really nice resort and we loved that we were able to see animals it was fun to go look out and see if we could see any different animals.  The resort also had different out looks that we could step out on and try and see different animals.

We made sure that the kids got the full Disney experience.  We tried to get them on most of the rides.  I am very proud to say that they did try most everything.  They may have not wanted to get back on after they got off, but they tried and that is all I could ask for.

The first day we went to Hollywood studios.  We had fun riding the Toy Story Mania Ride.  This was the top request of the Teenagers.  At this point I can not remember who won but I am safe to say it was not me.  We also road the back lot tour where you can sometimes get a little wet.  So I made sure that they were on the side that could get wet.  Megan ended up on the out side and she get a little wet.  But it was all in good fun and she did not stay not mad for long.  At our time at Hollywood studios we took some drawing classes.  We also got to be part of a flash mob that was fun I have not gotten to do that.  We went late one night to see Fantasmic and it was great as I remember it.

We ate lots of food over our trip.  We took Megan and Jake to some of favorite restaurants.  If there was steak on  the menu they had steak.  We had fun at 50's Prime Time Cafe trying to get Jon in trouble.  He had to go put his nose against the wall.  That was fun.  We also enjoyed eating in car and with different characters. 



Megan did not finish all of her veggies



In one day we took over 25,000 step, we went around the world, saw the past, the future, went into space, became cash dummies, flew over California and Journeyed into our Imagination.  I could only be talking about one place Yep that is Epcot.  The steps were not just in Epcot we did hop between Epcot and Hollywood Studios but it was a packed day.  Some people were running across the park my not me. 

We also spent time at the Magic Kingdom and the Animal Kingdom.  There were so many things that we did I think I will just put up some pictures.  I may have gone a bit on the crazy side with photos with my new camera Megan and Jake helped me together we took 1050+ pictures.

Megan also celebrated her birthday the whole week I may have suggested.  But it is fun to have your birthday at Disney even if it is not your birthday and it is just the week.

Birthday Cup Cake
OK so I think that is mostly it.  It was a great week.  Sorry it took so long to get it up but life has been crazy.
