DISNEY WORLD - FAMILY VACATION 2009

Our trip to Disney World was a blast!  It certainly was not the relaxing vacation.  You are always on the go from 9am to 9pm.  The only time we were in the room was to shower and sleep.  We made lots and lots of memories!


FIRST FLIGHT


Tyler and Hayden with their backpacks waiting to board the plane.

















We are ready to board!

We're flying!!!!!

We took a tram to catch a bus to the hotel.

And we are on the school bus, as Hayden would say.

Tyler and his best friend Payton.

We went to Downtown Disney our first night.  And there was the LEGO STORE!  This was a wall of just Lego men.

Topping the night off with some goofy hats!

FIRST DAY - MAGIC KINGDOM

THUNDER MOUNTAIN

RAILROAD

This was Hayden's favorite ride.  Tyler, however, wasn't too fond of it.

SPLASH MOUNTAIN - a family favorite!

The first day was Hayden's birthday.  We celebrated at Chef Mickey. Happy 4th birthday, Hayden!

DAY TWO - EPCOT

Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow

TEST TRACK
A really cool ride; A+ in our book. You get up to 75 mph at the end!

MISSION SPACE

Tyler's favorite ride.  The orange ticket was the more advanced ride.  It had more G-Force.  Go Tyler!
... there was a doggy bag, just in case.

DAY THREE - HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS

The BIG hat!

STAR WARS

Tyler and Hayden were mesmerized at this AT Walker. They are so small in size next to this thing!

HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS

LOOK who it is, Hayden!

Hayden absolutely loves Little Einsteins, and Leo (Hayden calls him Ledo) is his favorite character.  We met him at Hollywood and Vine Diner for lunch.

TOWER OF TERROR

Somehow, Corey and I managed to get the boys on this ride. Corey and I enjoyed it. Once the ride came to an end, the boys were celebrating that it was over.

TOY STORY

Getting ready for a 3D shooting arcade game!  FUN ride!

We ended the day at the American Idol studios.  Tyler and Hayden could have cared less, but Corey and I are fans of the show.  It was pretty cool!   However, now that Ellen Degeneres is supposedly a judge in the upcoming season, I'm not so sure we will be fans:(

DAY FOUR - ANIMAL KINGDOM

A Safari Breakfast with Donald Duck and the gang.  Here we are with Goofy.  "Garsh!"

Can't remember what this animal is called. Both of the boys did pet it.

It's Raffiki!

A great photo op. in front of the ride Expedition Everest. That ride went forwards and backwards!

The boys taking some time to play at the Dinosaur Dig Playard. Mommy and Daddy got to rest!

This was our very last day at Disney World.  We chose to return to Magic Kingdom. What a way to end the trip - right in front of the Castle watching a parade with our $20 balloons!

Oh what fun it was!  When will we go back?   HMMM . . . not for several years!
