Disney World 2009

Day 1 of our trip~ flying to Disney, arriving at hotel, then off to Animal Kingdom
Boys looking out at the airplanes at Hartsfield Jackson. This was their first time flying!

The plane ride was awesome! The boys loved every minute of it! Walker said, "I wish we could just fly all day".


Arrived Safely in Orlando
The boys got super excited as we got close to the entrance of Disney World!


Got to the hotel to drop off bags and check it out then out the door we went to Animal Kingdom




We were really surprised with Henry on our first day. He loved the characters, which we thought that he was going to be terrified of. At this point we knew that we were in for a fantastic trip!

The Bats really amazed Eric and I.


Safari Ride


We all really enjoyed Animal Kingdom. A great way to start off our trip! The boys thought that it was great but they just had no idea how good it was going to get

Dinner at Whispering Pines
The boys got to race around the restaurant on little ponies.

Walker lost his 2nd tooth at dinner our first night!

Day 2~ Hollywood Studios

The boys thought they had died and gone to heaven when they saw the power rangers!

Henry getting his face painted
Darth Maul and Red Ranger

The boys loved loved Hollywood Studios! They both loved the power rangers and the honey I shrunk the kids park. Walker loved the star wars ride and Henry loved buzz and woody!


Day 3~ Magic Kingdom


Watching the parade
Henry watching the fireworks which he is extremely afraid of them. We came prepared with headphones and Eric's ipod playing a Dora show. He still was uneasy but thank goodness we were prepared for this it could have been worse!
Walker clapping at the end of the firework show! He loved it
Each night when we got back to the room these cute little creatures were hiding somewhere in the room. The boys thought they were so neat!

Day 4~ Hollywood Studios (round 2)

Mama has some power ranger moves too!
Jedi Training
This Jedi training made the whole trip worthwhile for little Walker. They do probably 6 shows a day and you stand and wait in hopes that your child will get picked to go up on stage to fight Darth Vader. The first day we stood for 2 shows and didn't get picked. The second time we went Eric and I took turns trying to get up front before the next show started. We both stood in the dead hot sun in hopes that little Walker would get picked. The 3rd time this day he finally got picked! Woo hoo! He loved every minute of it. Eric took a really cool video that I hope to put on the blog at some point. Unfortunately Henry and I missed it because I took him to see Buzz. Thank goodness Walker got picked. He even got a little diploma that he clinged to the rest of the trip. Now for his birthday party in December he says that he wants lead a jedi training session. How cute it that?


Boys waiting on mama to ride the Rockin Roller Coaster! I love some roller coasters! It was awesome!



We absolutely loved Hollywood studios. Obviously if we opted not to go to Epcot and let the boys pick where they wanted to go. They chose to go back to Hollywood again. We spent 2 days there and 2 days at Magic Kingdom and 1 day at Animal Kingdom. Eric and I really wanted to go to Epcot but figured the boys were a little to young at this point to take them. It is about the kids!


We finished up the day at dinner at Chef Mickey's. It was a awesome character meal. We highly recommend it. Again, Henry did exceptionally well with all the characters. He did so well that the whole time we were at Disney world we had to wait in line after line to get a picture with characters he didn't even know who they were. If it was a character he wanted a picture.


Day 5~ Magic Kingdom

Henry still passed out while we were all getting ready for our last and final day!

Superhero Walker

My little Tiger and Superhero
Henry's favorite ride Dumbo
Walker and Eric on Splash mountain. He loved it!
Dinner at Crystal Palace

Poor baby passed out
Magic Kingdom was awesome! Henry loved Dumbo, small world, and the race cars. Walker loved Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted House. Our last night it came a down pour. It didn't stop us though. Walker and I even rode Dumbo in the rain and loved every minute of it. We didn't care because it was our last night. We had such a magical time!
My big boy passed out when we got back to the room
Going back home

This trip was AWESOME! It is so much fun! The boys were at the perfect age for it! We can't wait to go back one day! Eric and I both felt like kids ourselves. It is such a magical place!

Oh Ellen I love them! I felt as though I was there. I could just jump through the screen and kiss them up. What a good story you tell with your pictures.
