At Last, the Disney pics

This picture belongs a few down it is out of order. It is of Trystan just coming down the slide.
Yes, we are finally getting around to putting the Disney pictures up . There hasn't been alot to report lately since we don't have a camera at the moment. Our's broke on our first day in Disney World and we have been using a loaner since then and also using our phones. Anyhow, the first pictures are obviously of our flight down there. Ethan was awake this time as opposed to his first flight where he slept the whole time.

Mommy and Emma had to sit across the aisle from the boys. We say with this nice man who was taking his grandkids to Disney World. He was spoiling Emma on the flight also.


We spent our first day there lounging by the pool at the Polynesian Hotel. they have an awesome pool with a big water slide in a volcano. Big hit with the kids. Emma was worn out from the traveling which started at 4:30 am that morning.

Daddy and Ethan in line at the water slide.

The pool also had a waterfall which was fun.

The first night we went into downtown Disney and ate at rainforest cafe. We waited forever and didn't get done eating until after 11:00. Ethan and Sean were done long before that in Grandpa Greg's lap though.
The next day we went to Hollywood Studios. Ethan really liked the Lights, Motors, Action stunt car show.

Trystan in his new hat he got from Aerosmith's rockin roller coaster while riding the backlot tour.
Mommy and Emma on the backlot tour. Yes, Emma was eating.
We went to playhouse Disney live and they got to see Mickey Mouse clubhouse, Handy Manny, Tiger and Pooh, and Little Einsteins.
Emma doing the "hot dog" dance from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

These pictures are also out of order and this one is of Ethan in Magic Kingdom on the teacups.
This one is also of Magic Kingdom and Trystan riding the Tomorrowland Speedway.
Day 3 we headed our for Epcot. We had a large group of 13 with 2 double strollers.
In line for test track. Ethan was so excited to ride this ride.
After the ride they had cars you could play in. Ethan also loved that.
Out of order again. Back in line getting ready to get on test track.

Ethan at breakfast the next morning wearing his Mickey ears. Day 4 took us to Magic Kingdom, the most magical place on Earth, and Mommy's favorite place as well.
Nana and the boys in line at Splash Mountain, the first ride that we rode at Magic Kingdom.
Since Ethan was getting measured at every ride we rode and he is officially "tall enough" (which meant 40 inches) we decided he should have his picture made as a big boy!
Next we rode the big Thnder Mountain Railroad, a train roller coaster. Mommy rode with Trystan.
Nana and Garrett getting ready to ride.
Daddy and Ethan getting ready for Thunder Mountain. Ethan loved that ride. He wasn't scared at all.

Trystan and Garrett looked thrilled to be on It's a Small World don't they?
Griffin and Jamison getting ready to ride the Tomorrow land Speedway.
Ethan driving the race car at the Tomorrowland Speedway. He said that this was his favorite ride since he is a race car driver.
Griffin had a turkey leg for a snack and started to feel rather barbaric around the Pirates of the Carribean ride.
Mommy and Emma on the Pirates ride.
Griffin, Jill, Jamison, and Bailey on the Pirates.
Ethan taking a break for dinner.
Daddy and Ethan watching the electric lights parade.
Why the angry face Uncle Griffin?
He and Jamison are happy now watching the parade.
Jill and Bailey watching the parade.
Emma decided that she needed a hat for the parade and a cup lid would just do the trick.
Day 5 we went to Animal Planet. Here are Mommy, Ethan, and Emma in line for the safari.
A shot of some of the crew on the safari.
Ethan enjoying the safari.
Ethan and Emma petting the goats at the petting zoo at Rafiki's planet watch.
Ethan was tall enought to ride Dinosaur, but just because a kid is tall enough for this ride, doesn't mean that they should ride it. It was really scary. Really big dinosaurs jumped out of the dark and were really loud and Ethan was scared and did NOT want to ride that one again.
Everybody liked this Dinosaur ride though.
Ethan watching the parade at Animal Kingdom.
King Louie kissing Emma.
Ethan and Jamison cheering at the parade.
Emma also liked the parade.

Ethan and Emma with Pocahontas.
The lines were shorter here to see all the characters than at Magic Kingdom so we caught a lot of them. Here we are with Mickey.
This is one of my favorite pictures. Ethan and Mickey.
We couldn't leave out Minnie. We wanted a good picture of Emma with Minnie but she didn't like the characters at all. She held on to Mommy's arm for dear life.
Here are the Daddy's goofing around with Goofy. They wanted a picture of them upside down doing handstands next to him but they couldn't accomplish it so...
they had their sons do it for them.
In front of the tree of life.
The bus ride there and back was really crowded and on the way home, Mommy had Emma and Bailey on her lap.
Ethan was really tired on the bus ride back to the hotel and he became friends with a stranger on the bus. Luckily it was a nice stranger and he didn't mind Ethan using him as a pillow since Ethan fell asleep in his lap.
Since our hotel was for the military, they had a patriotic Mickey Mouse in the lobby and we had to get a picture of the kids with him.
Below is of Day 6. We got up really early to be back at Magic Kingdom when they opened to do the things that we didn't get to do the first day there. Here they are doing the opening show. Mickey rides up in the train and officially opens the Magic Kingdom. It is really neat to see.
Mommy, Ethan, and Emma riding the Dumbo ride. We had to ride that first since Ethan really wanted to ride it and it always has the longest line with no fast pass.
Next we all rode the teacups, minus Daddy since he can't handle all that spinning.
While Mommy was on a ride with the boys, Daddy and Emma had some fun trying on ears.
Ethan wanted to ride his favorite ride again so off to the Tomorrowland Speedway we went, again.
Trystan trying to pull the sword out of the stone.
Ethan thought he should try his hand at it also. We will have to try again next time.
Ethan really wanted to go into Cinderella's castle. The whole time he was looking forward to going to Disney World, he would see Cinderella's castle everywhere, at the beginning of Disney movies and Mommy would tell him we were going to go there. He was a little disappointed that there wasn't much to do inside of Cinderella's castle. He wanted to go up to see all the rooms.
We had 2 tired boys on the way home.
They were both worn out and they had a great time. Ethan still says, 3 weeks later, how much he misses Disney World and can't wait to go back. Mommy agrees!
