Madelyn’s masterpiece Lego structure. The dancers of Raglan Road. Madelyn got up to dance with the Irish dancers. This Raglan Road Guinness dipping sauce was simply to die for. It was like this sugary, sweet sauce that tasted like honey and was the perfect...

A three toed Sloth waving us farewell as we leave the lobby. A sad part of the day indeed… We got the photo & video Dolphin package and paid just under $150.00. While I believe it is incredibly overpriced, you really don’t have any other options to properly capture your dolphin...

The sheer excitement & the look of joy in her face was definitely worth the cost… After an amazing experience with the dolphins, we headed to the dining hall for some lunch. I had the shrimp jambalaya with meatballs & fries (I know I know... It’s a weird combo but I actually got...

This is the underwater walking scuba experience called “SeaVenture” (not included in your DC admission). This is an hour long excursion (25min being underwater) where you put on a dive helmet and walk along the Grand Reef to have a much closer experience with the various sea life at the Grand...

One of many stations to get your vest or a wet suit. Each guest is provided a netted bag that contains a snorkel and mask and special sunscreen lotion that is environmentally friendly and doesn’t have any negative impact to the sea life at DC. Lockers are provided for free with a key...

… and finally treated to an amazing and breathtaking views of the Discovery Cove park. One thing to add is that Discovery Cove allows a maximum of 1000 guests in the park each day so seeing rows and rows of empty lawn chairs are very common. Discovery...

Day 4 (Saturday): An All Inclusive Dolphin Excursion Today started with a wakeup call at 7:30am with and the following special letter to Madelyn from Discovery Cove. Instead of using taxi service, I had decided to book a Towncar as a special surprise for the family to take us to and from...

Thanks for the compliments! Food is a big part of all our vacations (and usually our biggest expense) so I'm glad we're able to share our WDW food experience.

Whatever that is, I want to eat it right now! Mashed potatoes with cheese, butter and spinach, black bean salsa, topped with fried chicken. Sounds like a recipe for AWESOME!

Yea for your new camera! I am sure your new camera is going to get a ton of use. Most of my night time pictures are taken without a tripod, even though using a tripod will give you the best results, I don't like carrying around extra weight. I typically lean my shoulder against something...

We headed out of the park as it was starting to get dark which was around 8pm. The temperature was cooling but still nice and warm at 75 degrees. All in all, I felt like we were doing a lot of walking back and forth between areas considering the size of Hollywood...

50’s Prime Time Café. I had Mom’s Favorite Recipe Sampler. DW had Mom’s Old-fashioned Pot Roast. Madelyn had the Hot Dog. Dinner came out to $72 which was totally in line with what I'd expected for a Table Service meal with great food and an awesome...

Short ice cream break to get a little breather from the sun. It was definitely starting to heat up. Today was the hottest day so far hitting upper 80s and it felt hotter much hotter than that. Don’t you just love the façade backdrops at Hollywood Studios? Some...

Dug!! Russell!! OK. Serious question. Am I the only person that thinks Disney got Jessie’s character neckline completely wrong from how she looks in the Toy Story movies? Meaning, she HAS NO neckline! Like not just in this picture but in ALL the pictures. Like she’s...

After I collected myself, off we went to the Beauty and the Beast show. The Pixar Pals Countdown to Fun Parade was a great way to rest our feet.

One of the travelling shows at Hollywood Studios: Mulch: Sweat n’ Shears They were actually really good. The lead singer looked and sounded a lot like Fergie from The Black Eyed Peas. We decided to have lunch around 11:30 to beat the lunch rush crowds and we didn’t want to eat too...

Madelyn was so excited to get her picture taken with Jake from Jake and the Never Land Pirates (Madelyn is obsessed with this show!) Star Tours had a 10 minute standby queue which turned out to be more like 5 minutes. After Star Tours, we headed to Toy Story Mania...

Day 3 (Friday): Time to visit MGM.. err Hollywood.. Arrgh! & a dinner at Grammas! Logged 8.22 miles on the Pedometer (19,313 steps) for the day. Today started with a wakeup call at 7:30am with the following special letter to Madelyn from Mickey and Minnie. Feeling a little...

We tried to get her excited about roller coasters in general and told her that this is going to be a very fast roller coaster in the dark. She seemed super excited about it and riding in the front was even her idea! About 30seconds into the ride, the ride starts getting pretty intense and I...

You guys look like you're having SOOO much fun in all your pictures! I wish I would have taken advantage of the college program when I was in college. We were talking with one of the "character handlers" for Duffy at EPCOT and she was telling us about how cool the college program was and how...
