Our plan to get a break from the MN winter, worked perfectly! It was amazing how refreshing it was to touchdown in Orlando and see unfrozen lakes, green grass, and green trees! Yeah! We were euphoric!
We spent one night at the Pop Century hotel at Disney World, and the rest of the time at a Marriott Timeshare Condo. But with a seven-day Disney pass, we didn't do much other than Disney. The amazing part to me is that we still didn't see it all!
We met up with Dave's Aunt Debbie and cousins Jenny and Kelly and hit all four parks in the first four days. It was so nice having them there. We enjoyed their company and their extra hands! Five adults to three kids was a great ratio! After they left, we realized how much more work it was for us!
Aubrie said her favorite part was meeting the princesses. Ellie says hers was meeting "Cinderllella" and also talking to Crush from 'Finding Nemo.'
My favorite part was the many Broadway-style performances in the parks ('Nemo the Musical,' 'Lion King,' 'Beauty and the Beast,' and also 'American Idol Experience').
Dave's favorite part was the rides: Kilamanjaro Safari, Tower of Terror, Everest, etc.
Teyah enjoyed it all except being in the stroller.
Disney was so fun because there was something fun for everyone!
One cool thing is that Aubrie ended up only missing one day because her four-day weekend turned into a six-day weekend because school was canceled twice due to the -20 temps and -37 wind chill at home!
This picture cracks me up because Ellie did not like the 4D movies where things "popped out" at her. So, on everything we went on after the 4D show, she put her hand up protecting herself from anything that might possibly invade her space!
Dave and I both enjoyed watching the kids enjoy the magic of Disney for the first time.
Even though it definitely wore us all out!

How exciting for you guys! I can't wait til the day we can take the girls to Disneyland, or world. Looks like it was a lot of fun, and what an added bonus that you got to escape the winter for a while!
That last picture is hilarious. Something that can tire your kids out like that MUST be a good thing!
Loved all the pictures, you made some great memories for sure!
What a fun time and PERFECT timing. Have you been to Disneyland? If you have, which one did you like better? I have heard people on both sides. Those are such great memories. The kids are always asking to go back to Disneyland. We really should this summer!
