Disney Trip - Fall 2010

Dear Kids,
We just returned from a fun week at Disney. Wow....that was one tiring trip. We started off the week with the Magic Kingdom. Meredith was very excited to go on the roller coasters. Luckily, she was tall enough. Drew barely made the height requirement for Splash Mountain. We loved the fact there were no lines and we went right to the front. Drew was too scared to go on Splash Mountain and started screaming so much Daddy had to take him off the log. Meredith, Katelyn and I went on that one and Thunder Mountain. It was a lot of fun. Drew had a great time on the slower rides and really enjoyed the Buzz Lightyear ride. The next day we headed to Typhoon Lagoon Waterpark. Another day of great weather and small lines. We had fun going on the water slides and even Drew was brave enough to go down a couple by himself. We ended our trip with a day at Animal Kingdom followed by Hollywood Studies. Katelyn rode the big roller coaster at AK two times and loved it. Meredith was just a 1/2 inch too short and was not happy they wouldn't let her on. I guess she'll be good to go next time! After a fun 1/2 day at AK we headed to Hollywood Studies. This is where we finally found the crowds. The Toy Story ride was too long of a wait so we had to skip that one. After a few rides, Daddy went back to the hotel with the little kids while Katelyn and Mommy stayed behind. Mommy had fun on the Rock and Roller coaster with Lori and Jordan as their family was also at the park that day while Katelyn who was just an inch too short for the coaster hung out with Regan and her Daddy. It was fun to spend time with our good friends who visited Disney at the same time and stayed at the same resort. We ended a very busy day with Fantasmic which was an amazing show that included water, fireworks, lasers and Disney characters. Well worth all the waiting we did to see it!

We had such a fun trip that I'm wanting to go back next fall break. It's fun to see how excited each of you gets for different reasons. Drew loved seeing Handy Manny. Katelyn loved going on the fast rides....as did Meredith. There was a little something for everyone on this trip.

I look forward to many, many more fun times with each of you!

Love,
Mommy
