So we traveled to Disney over Labor day weekend and stayed 5 nights at the Caribbean Beach Resort. It was a great deal, as we got the Disney dining plan for free with our trip! We took Grandma and Poppa from the beach along with us and had a busy 5 days. We went to MGM, EPCOT, Animal Kingdom, and Magic Kingdom twice!
Jake was thrilled to be back at the parks and ride bigger and better attractions than last year. He loved TestTrac and especially Mission to Mars, which made me queasy and decline to go on the second time around. Connor was tall enough to ride most of the rides but was scared of many of them... except Big Thunder Railroad, which we convinced him was a train roller coaster. So long as the word train is involved, Connor's on board! Nicholas was a champ and hung out in his stroller day after day! He cut 4 teeth the day after we got home and was cranky for a week! Good timing Nicholas.
Since character meals were included in the free dining plan we did lunch with Cinderella, dinner with Goofy, Chip & Dale, Minnie and Pluto, and lunch with the princess' at EPCOT! Jake's favorite was Ariel. When we saw her at lunch he said, "Oh Mommy, there's Ariel. Isn't she pretty?" Seriously, isn't he a little young to have the hots for a Disney princess? Apparently it runs in the family as Rob felt it absolutely necessary to get his picture taken with Jasmine.
The boys were troopers and would last from dawn up to well past the fireworks. Jake, Connor, Rob and I stayed late at Magic Kingdom one night to see the fireworks and it was unbelievable. We got on the Dumbo ride just as they were starting and they were exploding all around us as we circled around and around. It was like being up in the sky with them. After that we stayed until midnight riding rides. When we got back to the hotel Rob was kidding with the boys that they had so much energy that we should go to the pool! Well as we tried to get Jake's pj's on, he cried the whole time that he wanted his swimsuit on and he was ready to go to the pool like Daddy said!
