Disney Update

Well, I have yet to get around to updating everyone on how our trip to Disney World went and traveling with a two-year-old. I have to say it was PERFECT!! The weather was beautiful and we could not have asked for a better forecast. The first few days were chilly (in the 60's) but it was very comfortable for walking around all of the wonderful parks (ask Ben how much he loved that part of the trip..ha..ha) So we made it to Magic Kingdom (my favorite), Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios within the first 3 days of our trip. It was exhausting and Ben had enough with the crowds by day 2 but it was all still alot of fun. We had lunch with the Winnie the Pooh characters on the first day at Magic Kingdom. Tayah thought that was great and was not afraid of them at all (although she didn't really like Piglet too much) but Pooh got a big hug and Eeyore got a kiss from her. We saw a show at the steps of the castle with all of the Princesses, Mickey, Minnie, Donald Duck, Captain Hook, Peter Pan, and the witch from Sleeping Beauty, which was so cool, and Tayah LOVED it!! We went on some rides which Tayah also really enjoyed because there was always so much for her to watch and look at. The second day we did Animal Kingdom and had brunch there with Mickey and Minnie. It was fun to get up close to the famous Mickey and Minnie Mouse and Tayah also really liked that. We took an African safari ride at Animal Kingdom as well, which Tayah of course loved to see all of the wild animals. The last few days of our trip it was warm (in the 80's) so we spent those days by the pool sipping cocktails. There was a little pool that was just over a foot deep for Tayah to play in, so we all could pull up our chairs by the pool and let Tayah swim. Tayah is like a fish and had no problem spending all day in the pool. She would take a break to have lunch by the pool and then was off in the water again. She even asked if she could go swimming after we got home in Minnesota. I guess she didn't want to be back in the Minnesota cold again either (none of us did). And the very exciting part of our trip was that Jason and Katie got engaged!! It was very cool and fun to have shared that with them. Overall the trip was a blast and it was not difficult at all to travel with a two-year-old. We can't wait to go back again with her. Oh...and you will have to check out the slideshow of pictures in the post below. Enjoy!!
