DISNEY WORLD 2008!

We had so much fun at Disney World!
Dan and Parker met me in Orlando on Friday 1/16. I was so excited to see them both. Parker giggled and giggled when he saw me. We rode our first of many buses from the lobby to our room (the resort was 1.5 miles wide) where we all crashed for three hours. I was exhausted from my business trip and Parker was ready for a nap after behaving so well on the plane. We went to Disney Downtown for dinner at the Rainforest Cafe.
The next day, we headed to DISNEY WORLD! Dumbo was our first ride. Parker didn't get the concept of lines and it was a long 20 minutes. So, we headed to several play areas they had for kids. We rode a few other rides and headed back to the hotel to take a nap. Since all three of us slept for four hours, we headed back to WDW at 8PM and rode all the kid rides and saw Mickey with no lines! It was great!
Our resort had a great pool and play areas so we kept busy at the resort on Sunday. That evening, we went back to Disney Downtown and played in the huge toy stores.
Our last full day was spent at the Animal Kingdom. Since we stayed at the Disney resort, we were able to arrive an hour earlier than the rest of the visitors. That hour allowed us to take the Safari, visit the petting zoo, and walk around the trails without a crowd. It was amazing! Parker had such a great time looking at the animals and running around on the trails.
It was a bummer to leave on Tuesday. We had such a great trip and are already planning our next trip back!
