Disney World: Day 3 Recap

Today we took our little world travelers to...Epcot!

I know that I said yesterday that Magic Kingdom was our favorite park, but today has me reconsidering that statement. We love all of the...well, magic of Magic Kingdom, but we totally appreciate the laid back atmosphere of Epcot. Epcot is truly for strolling, enjoying food and drinks, and taking in the sights and rides. As much as we love being "go, go, go," at the parks, today was a nice balance of moving a little bit slower!

Jack and I had a slower morning while Dustin and Sammy got going early. We did not have any lightning lanes booked for the Ratatouille ride in the France pavilion, and it is the ride that Sammy was most excited to ride. So, off they went to try to be the first in line. The thing is, about 300+ other people had the exact same thought as they did. Haha. 

The boys finally got on Ratatouille and Jack and I met up with them afterwards. Jack and I walked right upon them...


...meeting Daisy. 😊


We rode "Finding Nemo," and "Frozen Ever After" before heading to wait for our lunch reservation in Italy. 


Dustin and I took a photo for a couple on their honeymoon and were reminded of our own honeymoon 8 years ago. Dustin and I then promptly decided we were taking a trip to Disney just the two of us as soon as the boys graduate from high school. 😂


We had an exceptional experience today with the allergy chef. He met us at the door and let me know that they were expecting us, and already had a list of what would be considered "safe" for Jackson. They got Jack's food made right away, and he was SO EXCITED to eat his spaghetti. Both boys were able to have gelati for dessert and Jack kept signing "more." It's not often that Jack can eat something just like the rest of us, so when he can, we are extremely grateful. 


Dustin and I enjoyed our lunch cocktails. Lunch cocktails are sometimes necessary when wrangling a toddler covered in bubble solutions. 😉

After lunch, we divided and conquered again. Dustin had a lightning lane for "Guardians of the Galaxy" and the boys and I were toast. We went back to the resort and napped for about 2 hours before heading back into the park for the evening. 

We met Dustin at the "hub" for Skyliner transportation, and he continued onwards with us to Epcot again. We were excited to see "Journey of Water" which is an experience inspired by the movie "Moana." It was SO GOOD. Truly, it made all the work of getting the boys back to the park worth it. 


We walked through the experience, Dustin grabbed us caramel treats from Germany while I grabbed us poutine from Canada, and we met back up in the middle to head back to our resort. 

Tomorrow we plan to head to Hollywood Studios!

Jackson Nicholas is TWO!

Jackson Nicholas is officially TWO years old today!  He's been so fun lately, and definitely showing off his two-ness. 😉 He's got a LOT to say.  He loves his big brother and wants to do anything and everything that he does.  He loves his family and talks about them all day long. He loves Mickey Mouse and can't wait for his next trip to the castle.  He loves to play outside! We'll be living in the backyard this summer.  He loves to EAT! This has been his biggest area of growth from this time last year. At his first birthday party, he was just able to eat single-ingredient foods due to his allergies - we just didn't know what was safe for him. Yesterday he was able to have a cupcake..with frosting!  Such a win!  We love him and his silly little personality. We can't wait to celebrate him today!

Sammy is SEVEN!

  Sammy is SEVEN! Seven years ago we were at the hospital, excited and nervous to meet our Samuel John.  Sammy was always a happy baby and toddler, and that's continued into childhood. He is so affable, friendly, and confident! He loves his family, he loves to play and he loves to be active. Games are his favorite, and he loves to "snuggle."  Since returning back to school, he's developed a huge love of reading! As a first grade teacher this WARMS my heart. He loves most books, but right now he favors graphic novels. He is the best big brother. Without us asking, he is so willing to help his brother. Just yesterday, Jack sneezed and Sammy ran to get him a wipe and then proceeded to wipe Jack's nose for him. If someone gets hurt he often hurries to see what's wrong and if he can help. He's a lot like Dustin in that he loves to have fun and be social. He's a lot like me in that he loves to make lists and know the when/how things are happening. He loves a...

Friday Favorites [10-4-2024]

Happy, HAPPY Friday!  I hate to even say it outloud, but Jack slept through the night two nights in a row this week. He's been getting so many teeth - all at the same time for about three weeks. This led to lots of broken nights of sleep for our boy. It is AMAZING how much better I feel getting a full night of sleep. Haha.  Needless to say, I'm feeling extra perky this Friday.  I'm linking up with Andrea  and  Erika  to share a few favorites from my week. 😊 Sammy's flag football team is the Chiefs, and so obviously his favorite dog supporter needed to get a matching outfit. Look at Sammy's red cheeks! We're ready for fall weather to arrive in full force over here. Haha.  This week was National Night Out in our town, and Dustin helped work it. I stopped by with the boys, and Jack was genuinely surprised to see so many people who looked like his daddy. He got so excited when he saw the first police car, but was disappointed his daddy wasn't inside. 😉 D...
