WHOO HOO! After a 3.5 hour drive from Orland to FT Lauderdale we dropped off our rental vans, took the shuttle to from the airport car return to the cruise terminal and were very quickly checked onto our ship. The embarkation process was a LOT faster this time. On our …

We were all able to ride Tower of Terror several times. I didn’t really like the up/down motion of this ride because I kept feeling like I was going to fly out of the seat (LOL). It would have helped to have something to hang onto… other than whoever happened …

Fantasmic is our FAVORITE night show of all in Disney World. You can view a video clip of it here. It’s a bit scarey in parts, but Nathan just put his head down and covered up his ears. I remember Josh having to do that the last time we saw …

Nathan *loves* the CARS movie…. He can quote 1/2 the show, I’m sure. He runs around saying “FOCUS” and “I AM SPEED!” (LOL). So, imagine how excited he was when he was able to SEE Lightning and Mater! I think he may have even forgotten about Mickey Mouse for a …

Nathan was SO EXCITED to see Mickey Mouse in this fancy car! Notice him shyly waving at Mickey! I won’t take the time to name every car… but here they are….. cars for all different movies and characters. These cars are AMAZING… they are decorated so nicely and each one …

Nathan – 3 years old and having a ball in Disney World! He missed seeing Mickey Mouse, but REALLY enjoyed see Mater and Lighning McQueen. Josh is 9 and having a GREAT time although he isn’t too sure whether or not he is enjoying some of the big kid rides… …

I explained in an earlier blog entry that we really didn’t see many characters wandering about Disney World. They now have Character View Areas where you can go and have your picture taken with some characters. Unfortunately, our little guy only wanted to see Mickey Mouse and he wasn’t to …

The Spectromagic Parade is absolutely my FAVORITE one! The floats are beautifully decorated and completely lit up! They are GORGEOUS!Nathan still looks a little worried after the fireworks display ended. Here he’s pretty happy about seeing Mickey even if it is just on the float. These butterfiles walked on the …

Disney puts on one of the BEST fireworks shows you’ll ever see! It’s fabulous and lasts FOREVER. Nathan started out enjoying the fireworks, but before long he didn’t like the loud booming noises.After awhile, I think he was probably squeezing Granpa’s neck to the poing of choking him!Then, Nathan decided …

We love Splash Mountain. The ride is nice and leisurely with just a little drop part way through. The scenery is GREAT and it’s just so peaceful……. UNTIL you get to the top and start to drop to the bottom before you even realize it’s coming (LOL). Sorry for the …
