Disney Again

I just realized I never blogged our trip to Disney this year.  The kids were so good on the plane. Check out this cool cat!  And he basically stayed this happy the whole 2.5 hours.

We stayed at the Yacht Club again and were upgraded (again) to a lagoon view room!  These rooms are the best - you can look out and see the boardwalk all lit up at night and you have an awesome view of the fireworks.  And we heard from staff they are re-doing all the rooms to make them even nicer.

We absolutely love this hotel for their sand bottom pool.  It just gives the kids a chance to play and not only swim without leaving the area.  Lazy river and water slides - it really is the best!

We went last year when our youngest was 2 and there were some epic meltdowns.  He hated riding the bus which is how you get around to the parks.  Most of those bus rides would end up with me holding him on my lap while he tried to headbutt me with the back of his head - yeah fun!  Well, holy crap what a difference a year makes.  He loved the bus this year and would just sit there in his own seat and look out the windows.  With the kids being 8, 5 and 3 - they were able to go on almost all the rides together, even the roller coasters.  It was so much easier this trip!  My fave ride with everybody was the 7 dwarfs mine train coaster!  We rode the teacups of course, went on a safari, rode Soaring.  Which by the way is breathtaking.  It takes you all around the world now instead of just inside the US.  Eiffel tower, Niagara Falls, a safari in Africa, etc.  I sat there and thought God made all of this....Amazing!

Food:  Hands down best dinner was at Ohana!  Not to mention the place is beautiful.  This is us in front of the hotel - the grounds are gorgeous.

We did another night at Cape May for the crab legs.  I had some pretty spectacular macaroni and cheese at Animal Kingdom and of course Dole Whip in Epcot.

Our dinner in France sucked (total mom fail) and the kids and the hubs were not happy.  I wasn't happy either but the planner always gets blamed.  We found an awesome ice cream shop at our hotel called Beaches n Cream.
And of course T-rex cafe - every single time.

We saw fireworks on the beach with the kids in their jammies.  We also saw them from the hot tub the one night too.

We saw a bunch of characters this year too!

All in All it was so much fun.  Next year we are doing a week long Disney Cruise and then I have a feeling we will be back to the parks :)
Till we meet again Disney...
