We parked our car and got out, and instantly felt a chill in the air. The nice weather of yesterday was gone, and we were back to having temps in the low 50's. They would start to drop even lower as the sun went down. My winter coat was in the back of the car, and I offered it to Sara. You...

We would get a couple more before the end of the trip!

Sara was super excited to get to go to the Disney outlet store. She had heard tales of magical stores off of Disney property which sold items for a fraction of what they cost at WDW!!! The reality was a bit less exciting. We drove a ways off property and parked in a regular outlet store. We...

I had never seen them all come at once in the beginning before. But,it was nice once they all went by, we were able to relax and enjoy breakfast afterwards. Thanks for following!

Goofy wandered over just as Donald was leaving...still no food for me 😟. Goofy insisted that Sara get a photo with him as well. And why not??? Minnie came over right away once Goofy had left. Makayla was starting to loosen up a little around the characters, but still didn't want to...

Wednesday had arrived. Usually Wednesday is a relax day for us. Spend some time at the resort, go to the pool, maybe hit up Disney Springs. We changed it a bit this year due to the weather. Tuesday got warm enough that we were comfortable going in the pool (well, all of us but Sara ;)), but...

When we made it back to the room, Sara and Makayla were each laying in bed. Makayla popped her head up as we walked in. Sara was asleep. Luke and I got into some dry clothes and then we eventually went to spend some time around the resort while Sara got some time to rest. Makayla really...

The wait for swirling saucers was about 40 minutes. We had some debate as to whether or not to wait this long. In the end, since we hadn't done the ride before we decided to give it a go. As you might imagine with a 4 and 7 year old, the 40 minute wait had it's ups and downs. There were...

When we finished our lunch it was time for our ride on Slinky Dog. Both kids were super excited to do this. Even though we were in the fastpass line, there was plenty to see. The ride was great. It was perfect for both kids. It will never be confused with a thrill coaster, but...

Once the snow had ended, we made our way out of the theater and over to our next fastpass at Star Tours. Makayla still remembered the march of the first order from earlier in the day, so she didn't want to go on. Even Luke was a little anxious. In the end, we convinced both of them to give it...

Tuesday was our fourth day in the parks, and our plan was to spend the morning at Hollywood Studios. We were pretty excited as this was going to be one of the nicer weather days of our trip. We were out the door at a good time, and the bus line for HS was even short. Today was looking good...

If we needed proof that Magic Kingdom was super crowded, we needed look no further than all the people who were lining up to watch the nighttime shows at the castle. I made the decision that I would stop for some popcorn as we made our way to the front, and by the time I got it, I could barely...

Once we had finished the Treehouse, it was time for our fastpass at Small World. This was an extra FP we picked after our first 3 were used. Pretty sure the word is out on that little trick, because the pickings were slim. But the good news is the kids love Small World. We then took a...

Very Similar. Glad she is fine now. Makayla has a knack of becoming scared of rides she's already ridden and loved, so I don't think we're out of the woods yet. Just today she mentioned that she doesn't think she wants to do Splash Mountain because of the drop.

We had ridden Haunted Mansion as a family for the first time on our last trip, and both kids had not stopped talking about it since that time. So it was no surprise that it made our list for fastpass choices. We made out way up main street then hung a slight left to go into Liberty Square. We...

Thank you very much. I can't take any credit, Sara is the photographer. They are taken with an Iphone 8 without any editing. We're very fortunate that they came out as good as they did. I'll be sure to share your kind words with Sara. Thank you!!! Yes the ears were great and we got a lot...

And some more photos Once the parade is finished, we always make a point to stay where we are to let the crowds that are exiting go around us. After a few minutes, the flow of people exiting the park ended, and we made our way back up Main Street. We were on our way to our 3rd...

Soon it was parade time. I personally love this parade, and our family really likes it too. Makayla enjoys seeing her favorite characters go by at just a safe enough distance to not be scared. Luke waves at the characters as well, and helps Makayla make out who is coming next. For me, I just...

When we walked out of the restaurant, Robin Hood and Little John were greeting in the square!!! I LOVED this movie growing up. I remember watching in on the old VCR, and the opening credits had a chase scene in it, and my brother and I would make my mom rewind it so we could watch the chase...

Thanks for following along!
