Our Room.....

We had adjoining rooms...with Kaitlyn, Grandpa and Grandma...and spent very little time here...

Port Orleans....French Quarter...Check-In...

We stayed in Port Orleans...French Quarter...and we loved it. The fountain in the courtyard was beautiful...and as we arrived...the doormen invited us in...and gave us coins to make a wish in the fountain...and us girls got Mardi Gras beads put around our necks...Jackson was most excited because the gift shop was named Jackson Square....

Back to the Airport.....

Yup...we headed back to the Airport....to catch the Disney's Magical Express...to take us to our Hotel. This bus ride took about 30 mins....while we watched a DVD geared to get us excited about Disney World...like we needed that.....

The first night.....

This was Jackson's goodnight call to Grandpa and Grandma...in the next room...

Once we claimed our baggage....we headed out to wait for our ride to the motel...we arrived a day early...so we didn't have to waste a vacation day traveling...we had Dominoes Pizza for dinner...and went to bed early...

Orlando....and baggage claim.....

Once we arrived at the Orlando Airport...we had to take a tram to the other side of the airport...to baggage claim...we only had one older woman try to take one piece of our luggage....

Florida is FLAT.....

I was so excited to finally be landing....I wish I could have slept during the plane ride...but Dramamine wasn't discovered until later in the trip....I was amazed at how FLAT Florida is...and the swamps everywhere....

Yep...we had over 5 hours on the plane.....

Yup...5 hours....fortunately we didn't have Jackson the whole time...he can't relax....and he didn't like the little girl sitting in front of him...or maybe she didn't like Jackson videotaping her with his new camera...however...this plane ride was way better than the one home....yeah...we had Jackson...and...it was considerably longer....but...more on that later.....

The Real World.....what a drag.....

I miss my Chef...Maid...Beach...warm weather...oh...and this guy.......

The Airport.....

I guess I got a little excited with Snow White and Dopey...or it could be trying to put together pictures from four different cameras....anyway....our trip started with a bit of a wait at the airport...and a small panic attack before boarding the plane...but I'm good now =0)

The Magic Kingdom....with Snow White & Dopey...

Yup...we're back...and I took over a thousand pictures....and...I'm going to share. So...this is Snow White with Dopey...now...I was kinda star struck...my kids....not so much...sad I know. Let me share with you how this photo session went...

Me: "Oh...look...it's Snow White...and...Dopey!"

My kids: "So.."

Me..."Let's get in line and get their autograph and picture!"

My kids: "No"

Yup...obviously I won...and as you'll see...some battles I won...others....I did not. Now...you might be wondering...who's the girl in the bottom picture....well...that's me...or...it could have been. This adorable little girl was in line in front of us...and yep...she looked just like me at that age...the little glasses with the big huge eyes...and brown hair...even Kaitlyn said...mom...she looks just like you... and...the best part...she was so excited to see Snow White and Dopey...just how i'd envisioned it with my kids...so...I couldn't help but take a picuture....and pretend..=0)
