DISNEY WORLD!!!

In September, my parents took Mike, the girls and me to Disney World for a week.  It was so fun! Thanks mom and dad!  It was also great because Sara and Daniel were able to drive down from Georgia to join us for 5 days.

(Mom, I would like to insert some more pictures here but I need them from Dad.)

My parents flew to SLC and met us at the airport to fly the rest of the way together.  The 4 hour flight went pretty well.  Addie only screamed for about 20-30 mins and I didn't scream or throw-up from my anxiety about flying, so I think it was a good flight.  After landing, we got our rental van and headed to the Swan hotel on at Walt Disney World.  Once checked in we met Sara, Daniel and the kids for dinner. This was the first time we saw little Paige, and boy what a cutie!! Of Course Sophie and Dmitri starting playing like they had never been apart.


The next day we headed to the Magic Kingdom for our first day of what Mike called "Disney Boot Camp" (i.e., walking around theme parks, carrying children and strollers, etc). One nice thing about being on Disney property is the transportation to all the parks right at your hotel.  It rained for about the first half of the day, but then dried up and we enjoyed the rest of the day.  Disney is really redoing Fantasyland so about half of it was under construction, but the new parts that are open were great.  They have added a second Dumbo ride and a Dumbo playland in the line queue.  You check in and get a pager like at a restaurant then let the kids play.  When your pager goes off, you check out and get in a short line for the ride. For us, there was no line. We didn't actually have to wait in lines almost the whole week.  We walked on just about every ride in all the parks.  

On day 3 we went to the Animal Kingdom.

On day 4 we went to Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studio

Wednesday was Sara and Daniel's last day so we went back to the Magic Kingdom for the first half the day.  Then they drove back to Georgia.  It was so great having them there with us and we are excited to see them when they visit Utah in November. We spent the rest of Wednesday at Epcot.

Thursday and Friday we left the Disney property and when to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure.
