We're Back!! We escaped the coldest air of the season (decade?!) and flew off to Florida. Back in April, David's family started discussing doing a Disney Cruise to celebrate a special birthday! We decided to add on several days at the beginning and go back to Disney world. Crazy yes, but we love Disney and decided to stay at a new resort... Animal Kingdom Lodge and have some bonus time at the parks. We loved the view out of our balcony each morning... the African Safari...
We were test participants for Disney's new magic bands. We loved the ease of the bands, but disliked the regulations on Fast Pass +. It really changed how we toured the parks. It didn't help that crowds were still high from the holidays. Good thing we know our way around pretty well by this time.
The day we arrived we just enjoyed our resort and did some swimming. Just so you don't feel too bad, most of the days were cloudy and cool for Florida. Right after swimming, a rain storm blew in. We had one day of sun at the parks but the high temp was 50... still better than -50 ;)
New resort mugs with our snack. The resort had lots of entertainment... Samuel enjoyed the African drummers.
Our 1st morning we headed to Animal kingdom and enjoyed a breakfast buffet at tusker house.
In the afternoon we headed to Magic Kingdom... crowds were crazy!!!
Morning of the second day we headed to Hollywood Studios. Samuel enjoyed meeting Jake.
In the afternoon we headed to Epcot
We had dinner at garden grill and got to see some more characters.
Getting ready to leave our resort for the cruise.... I never get tired of looking out that window.
4 parks in 2 days... we set an ambitious schedule ( I would not recommend this to new disney visitors). We picked the rides and shows we wanted and enjoyed being together as a family. The kids did pretty well with this busy plan... we knew we could relax on the cruise. We loved staying at a new place and trying some new restaurants and experiences. Pictures of the cruise coming soon......
