Our Disney Vacation

We finished up at Mistletoe State Park on Sunday, April 3rd and drove back to Loganville.  Justin's Spring Break is this week, so Trish told him we're going camping for Spring Break.

We left early Monday morning for our "camping" trip.  Here we are, ready to go.



 After 10 hours on the road..and about 10 miles from Disney World...we broke the news that we were actually camping at Disney World!  


We parked & got set up at Disney's Fort Wilderness. Trish & Brett pitched a tent behind the rig and Justin slept on the couch.  After one night, Trish & Brett moved inside and took over the couch & gave Justin the dining table bed....lightweights ~ LOL! 




We woke up early Tuesday morning and headed to Epcot.  Went straight for the Soaring ride...Amazing ride...like you're flying over California, we all enjoyed it.

Then we did some wandering around and photo taking.

Of course, we all had to get mouse ears.












We went back to the RV for lunch then back to Epcot for the afternoon.  Spent the afternoon going around to the different Country displays.  








We got a Happy Birthday button when we checked in..so I wrote in 60th & made John wear it.  He has people wish him Happy Birthday everywhere we go.  Of course, his B'Day isn't until the 30th, but he's getting a head start on celebrating. 


John & I left around 6:00 pm and went back to the RV, The kids stayed for the Fireworks show.

Wednesday was Magic Kingdom.  We slept in and got there around 12:30...It Was Packed!  Long lines for rides and just too crowded to enjoy.  We left around 5 and went to Downtown Disney to check out a little shopping, then back home for dinner.  Trish, Justin & Brett went back to Magic Kingdom for the evening.

On Thursday we went to Hollywood Studios.  I rode the Rockin Roller Coaster with the kids...John waited outside for us ~ LOL!  Justin survived the ride and got a pin for his collection.  We wandered around and got some photos.  Trish & Brett went on the Tower of Terror then John & I left and went back to the RV for a late lunch & nap.










At 9:00pm we took the boat over to Magic Kingdom for the evening's festivities.





Justin's Light Up Ears...that he just had to have....wore for a total of 20 minutes before he decided they hurt his head...Ha Ha!
Night time is definitely the time to go to Magic Kingdom.  After the 10 pm fireworks show, about 75% of the people leave the park....we were able to ride some of the rides with absolutely no waiting lines.  It was a beautiful night and we all really enjoyed it.  We got home around 1:00 am.

Friday everyone was pretty worn out, so no one went to any parks.  John & I went back to look around at Downtown Disney then went to dinner at Kouzzina's, Iron Chef Cat Cora's restaurant.  The food was good & we enjoyed it.  The kids hung out at the campground all day and worked on getting packed up for the trip home.

It's been a fun week, but I think we're all ready to head home tomorrow.

I'm exhausted just from reading your post. But isn't great that you have your home close by and can go there for lunch and a nap. Looks like you all had fun.
