Disney 2011

We had an awesome time visiting Disney World with Grandma and Grandpa this year. Benjamin loved meeting all the characters especially Mickey Mouse. He didn't like Pluto for some reason though. Alex especially loved the yo-yo staircases and Elizabeth and Caryn like the rides.








Goofy boys on the Mickey Bus






Alex's prized Gold doubloons from "Jake and the Neverland Pirates."

Alex waited a long time for Perry.


Mommy and Caryn waited an hour to see Ariel, got within 4 people, then it stormed. Went back two days later not to be turned away. Waited an hour again!


Benjamin with his hook on the red yo-yo.

The boys at the bottom of the Big Red Yo-Yo


These 3D glasses always make for a good family picture.

The girls striking a pose in Downtown Disney.



Waiting in line for the Nemo Show at Animal Kingdom.

We all got soaked on the Kali Rapid River Ride.



Caryn was real wet.

This cool web and huge pine cone were at a rest stop as we entered Florida.

The Mad Tea Party was a blast for Caryn and Elizabeth.



Tiana was so personable.

Caryn was in awe of each of the princesses. Tinkerbell was in Epcot on our last day.

The girls were investigators with Kim Possible at Epcot. They actually had to TALK to this cast member to get their next clue.

We saw Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, and Donald at Epcot's Character Spot on our first day.

The Pirates of the Carribean Ride led us to meeting a real pirate.

Benjamin's favorite purchase: Hook.
Alex's favorite purchase: Telescope.
Caryn's favorite purchase: Princess camera
(Not sure why the boys are holding each others)

Alex would have eaten a banana, and raisin bran for every meal if it was an option.

"Look Mom, there's really red play-doh in there!"

Snow White in the Magic Kingdom, we were first to see her.

Splash Mountain, Elizabeth and Caryn in front, Daddy and Mommy in row 2.

Another awing experience.

What a fun trip, but we're not going back for a while...
Daddy says 10 years, what does Mommy say about that??
