Disney Report

One week ago, we were on our way home from Disney.  The week before was our spring break and next week is Evelyn's.  We had to adjust to squeeze in a family break so we took Evelyn out of school for two days of our break.  We had a really big surprise planned for the girls.  They knew we were going camping but the where was the big surprise.  We were able to keep it a secret until pulling in the gates of Disney.  Evelyn was quite excited.  She had already asked wasn't this the way to Disney.  We calmly answered that Disney was down that way.  When Emelia realized where we were, her response was, "but I wanted to go camping!"  She was quite happy to hear that we were doing both.  The campground there was very nice.  We did it in a whirlwind but still enjoyed it all.  The campground had lots to do and even had some critters.  Evie fed ducks and some turkeys strutted through.  The girls rode ponies, checked out the big horses that are used on Main Street, played on the playground, went to the Chip and Dale campfire sing a long and even got in the pool the last night which was a bit cold even though it was a heated pool.  There was also an outdoor movie on a big screen but we were not able to squeeze that one in.  We did one day from open to close at Magic Kingdom.  We hit the lines at good times and only missed a few things in that park.  The longest line was Splash Mountain at 45 minutes.  That ride was a first for the girls and they loved it. Emelia hit just over forty inches so we were able to take in a number of additional attractions together without doing the ride switch.  We were also able to take in things we missed last summer.  We then did a half day at Animal Kingdom and half at Epcot.  We had missed Soarin last trip and again, Emelia was tall enough for it now.  It was a definite hit will all of us.  When we got to Epcot the fast passes for that ride were gone but we got lucky when someone gave theirs to Scott.  Whew, the wait had shortened to 75 minutes at that time.  It was so nice to get those passes.  We also had some good visits with characters seeing some that we did not see last summer.  I think we are a little hooked on Disney for now.  The girls are at such a good age for it and seeing it through them is so fun.  Hope the pictures tell a little of the tale. Oh, and did I say the weather was fabulous.  Hey, at least I am only a week behind with this post better than a month.
