Spring Break 2013 – Disney Dream day 1 Sunday, March 10, 2013 After we left the Universal Studios area, we drove to Cape Canaveral to stay the night at a Country Inn and Suites. It was a decent hotel. What was really nice is that they offer a park and cruise for $40. We didn’t know this until we checked in. We had planned on leaving our rental car at the cruise terminal garage and […]
Spring Break 2013!!!! Universal Studios We tried to take advantage of every spare minute we had during this year’s Spring Break! We started off by driving to Kansas City as soon as the kids were out of school. We flew out the next morning to Orlando. During Spring Break, we were able to go to Universal, a 4-night cruise on the Disney Dream and finish up our vacation at the Happiest Place on Earth…Disney World!!! […]
We got up early on Friday morning. After we finished packing, we left The Grand Californian and headed back to LA. Our hotel was in El Segundo…which is really close to LAX. We had a few hours before our LA tour would start, so we decided to explore a little. We quickly made our way to the El Segundo beach. There were a lot of surfers out that morning. The kids played in the sand […]
Happy Thanksgiving!!!! This was our last day at Disneyland 🙁 For resort guests, it was Extra Magic Hour morning at Disneyland. The park opened at 7 a.m. So, we got up and made our way to the entrance of the park a little after 6 a.m. It really didn’t seem that early to us. The whole time we were in California, we could not get our bodies to adjust to the 2-hour time difference. So, […]
Our second day at Disneyland, we got up early and went to Disneyland Park!! Main Street looked very pretty with all the Christmas decorations. Sleeping Beauty’s castle was covered in snow. It is much smaller than Cinderella’s castle at the Magic Kingdom. So, I have always wanted to ride The Matterhorn. We convinced Taylor to ride it so that we could all ride it together. It didn’t take very long until we were in our […]
This year for Thanksgiving, we decided to take a trip and get away. Surprise!! We switched it up a bit and instead of going to Disney World, we decided to check out the original Disney park and went to Disneyland!!! We had such a good time. I definitely have my favorites about both Disney World and Disneyland. Disney World still has a very special place in my heart and I love going there, but Disneyland […]
WDW 2012 – Day 8 – Magic Kingdom! It had to happen, there was no way to stop it…the last few hours of living in the MAGIC of Disney Words was coming to an end and soon we would be heading back to reality. Before we had left for the trip, we had told the kids that they could enroll in the Secret Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom and see what that was all about […]
WDW 2012 – Day 7 – Magic Kingdom and Epcot! This was our last full day at Disney World. That morning, after getting up and going to the Contempo Cafe for breakfast… Who can resist a Mickey waffle?! After breakfast, we headed over to the Magic Kingdom. It was a Monday, so I knew it would be crowded. I had been told years ago by a cast member that the Magic Kingdom is always very […]
WDW 2012 – Day 6 – Hollywood, Epcot and a storm! This day was a really exciting day for us! We got up and headed for Hollywood Studios. It was the last day of Star Wars Weekends…and that was something we had never been to. Of course, it did make the park a little more crowded and we didn’t hang out there very long, but it was fun and what made it exciting was we […]
WDW 2012 – Day 5 – Epcot and Mickey’s BBQ! Our 5th day at Disney World was a busy day! We had lunch reservations at Le Cellier Steakhouse at Epcot. This is one of our favorite non-character meals! We hopped on the Monorail and made our way to Epcot! We had a few hours before our yummy lunch. Epcot typically opens at 9 a.m., but the World Showcase area doesn’t open until 11 a.m. After […]
