Florida Part Two: Disney World

Spending 4 days at Disney World with this gal and our families is definitely a memory that we will talk about for years and years. Was it crazy? YES. Was it fun? HECK YES. 
I didn't think Noah would be too interested in the rides, but boy was I wrong! This might have been his favorite: Tomorrowland Speedway. He even got to "drive."


Disney was all dressed up for Christmas, and it is GORGEOUS, people! I'm obsessed with the castle.
Because what's a trip with me and Jessi without a ridiculous, ugly picture?

Since our condo was so close, we made the decision to take turns watching the kids at night so the couples could have a date night at a park of their choosing. BEST IDEA EVER. Craig and I went to Magic Kingdom, and we became teenagers again. We ate junk, we went on rides we couldn't with the kids, and Craig even almost made me throw up on the tea cups. It was the best date we've ever been on.




Noah was such a great 2-year-old. There were hardly any meltdowns on his part. He genuinely had a fun time, too.


Craig, the proud father, and Star Tours. Noah was almost tall enough to ride this one. Next time, buddy!

Tomorrowland Speedway might have been his favorite ride, but Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show was his absolute favorite moment of all of Disney. It this 40 minute stunt show with load, fast cars and crashes, fire, the works! They tell the secrets of filming high speed action movies, and show us all the tricks! It was seriously so cool for these little boys. (And Brad, too. Craig took one for the team and played with Olivia in the arcade next door.)

Miss Livvy Lou is the cutest Minnie I've ever seen!
By the fourth day of the Disney adventure, we were all pretty Disney-ed out. We spent the day looking through shops to get souvenirs, and then we had lunch at Beast's Castle. Fantasyland is THE COOLEST, by the way! Belle is my favorite princess, so to see the "little town" and Beast's Castle was so neat.
Here's the whole game after lunch. We look pretty tired...


Disney World, thank you for having us. To be honest, we probably won't do something like this again until our kids are all at least 5, but we really did love it. Being together was the best part for us! 

Special thanks to Brad's parents for letting us use their timeshare to get a condo to stay while we were there and to Brad for being in the military and getting us an awesome deal on tickets! We love you guys and miss you so much already.
