Disney World July 2013 Day 1!!!

Disney World Day 1!!! Saturday, July 13, 2013 Everyone asks why we always do Disney Vacations…simple answer…they are FUN!!!  We always come away with different experiences, magical moments and lots of family memories. Our July 2013 Disney vacation fulfilled all of these moments and memories for our family. We flew out of Branson, MO on Southwest Airlines…I’m really disappointed that Southwest is going to stop flying the non-stop route to Orlando from Branson.  I think […]

Spring Break 2013 – Disney World Day 4! March 17, 2013 We only had a little bit of time before we had to leave Disney World and go to the airport.  We made the most of the time we had by going to the one park we hadn’t been to yet…Animal Kingdom!

Spring Break 2013 – Disney World Day 3!! March 16, 2013 Saturday was our last full day at Disney World.  We knew we would go to Hollywood Studios to start the day.  We took the boat over from the Beach Club. As soon as we got inside, Michael moved his way up through the crowd as far as he could.  This is always our plan at Hollywood.  Then, when they open the park, he gets […]

Spring Break 2013 – Disney World Day 2!! March 15, 2013 What a magical day!! I love going to the Magic Kingdom!  There is something about this park that is…well, MAGICAL!!!  I love going into the entrance of the park and rounding the corner to see the castle.  I would love to be able to casually stroll down Main Street and see everything slowly…without a crowd of people running to get to whichever attraction.  Of […]

Spring Break 2013 Disney World day 1

Spring Break 2013 Disney World day 1 March 14, 2013 We got up early and got off the ship pretty much as soon as the doors were open.  It was really nice…the lines were really short, we didn’t have to wait anytime at all to go through customs and because we had done the express check-out service, we had all of our luggage with us, so we didn’t have to go find it.  Usually, you […]

Spring Break 2013 – Disney Dream day 3 Tuesday, March 12, 2013 This is one of my favorite days on a Disney cruise!  Going to Disney’s private island…Castaway Cay (looks like “Kay”, but pronounced “Key”).  It is beautiful.  Quick fact…Castaway Cay is the same island that the beach scenes in the movie Splash were filmed at.  Cool, huh? We woke up early and looked out our window to  see the barrier reef area out our […]

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 […]
