Disney World Trip!!!

Wow, a whirlwind of a vacation... Monday had a 4.5 hour long plane ride... Addi did awesome in the airport and on the plane! She really does travel very well... Arrived in the Orlando airport about 12:30 am Tuesday morning.. That place was crazy. I was in the A terminal 3rd floor, baggage area 1st floor, had to get my bus to Disney World in Terminal B 1st floor. Well, you would think you could just walk on the first floor to the next terminal NO... I had to go back upstairs walk across then back down on the other side of the terminal. All while carrying a large fully loaded backpack, a blanket, a suitcase (thank goodness for wheels) and a 2 year old... Good times... Anyway, we made it to our shuttle and ended up sitting there for a bit till the driver came back... Made it to the resort about 1:30 or 2 am... At this point I am so sleepy, but Addi wasn't ha ha. She just wanted to go and walk around, but it was so nice to be with Tyler that I didn't care... We stayed at Disney's All Star Sports Resort!!! Nice place too...




Addi really liked running on the football field... It has changed a bit since this photo was taken...

Yes, I am taking all of my photos from online as my camera is in Florida with Tyler... LOL.

Anyway, the next day we got on bus that took us to the Animal Kingdom. What an amazing place. Addi loved it. And I loved the Safari. I loved the giraffes... Beautiful creatures. 



There is also this amazing tree there. Just massive and beautiful... It was fun to see all of the animals that are carved into it.


Another fun part of the day was riding Mt. Everest... I rode single rider it was okay, I don't think I like going backwards though, especially in the dark...


We then went to see the Nemo show. What an awesome performance. Addi was enthralled with the characters. She loved it.



Such a great show...

We then left for the Magic Kingdom... By this point we are all tired, but just trying to get in as much as possible... We had a fun time, and Addi's favorite part, the Carousel Horses. She even started to cry when they stopped and didn't want to get off. We explained that other children needed a turn to ride as well...


We played in the park till closing, grabbed a bus back to the resort and ate some food and let Addi play in the kiddie pool. She needed to unwind a bit... She had such a great day!!!!



Next morning, we woke up and got everything ready to check out :( SAD!!!! And jumped on a bus to the Magic Kingdom to catch the Monorail to The Grand Floridian... Just have to say YUMMY... The breakfast was amazing and Addi got to meet some awesome people. Mary Poppins, the Mad Hatter (who she does not like) Alice, Pooh and Tigger... Addi LOVES Tigger and kept giving him hugs.. Pooh too... 




While at breakfast we were able to meet one of the Chefs, thanks to Tyler's connection of working there. His name was Chef Jonathan. He came over and asked if there was anything he could do to make our stay more magical... Offered us dessert, well, with my love for cupcakes, I took him up on the offer. He brought out a beautiful cupcake with lots of frosting. YUMMY!!!!


From The Grand Floridian, we got on a water taxi that took us to the Magic Kingdom. We all enjoyed the boat ride... Addi most of all... We then went into the Magic Kingdom for a bit and let Addi ride the Carousel horses again. We also rode the train, so much fun!!!

Then, it was time to say good bye... Tears were present... :( It was like saying good bye all over again back in January... Just a few more months and we can be a little family again...

Tyler is doing really well at Disney and has made lots of progress through his training! I am so proud of him and miss him so much...

Disney World is truly a magical place!!!
