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!

Disney World: Day 6 Recap

We're a little bit behind in posting, but today I'm sharing our day 6 recap to our Disney World trip! Today we went to...Animal Kingdom! I love an Animal Kingdom park day following a rest day. Animal Kingdom has lots of opportunities for animal viewing, and the animals are most active during the morning. It's a great idea to start your day at Animal Kingdom early to maximize your animal viewing opportunities. On this day we were up and on our way around 8:00. We had a lightning pass for the Nav'i River Journey beginning at 8:05. This ride is located in the Pandora section of the park and it is truly amazing. There are lots of floating mountains, water features, and fun details throughout. Although the boys had zero frame of reference about the movie, we enjoyed the ride and some breakfast before heading to... Festival of the Lion King! Truly - this show is worth the cost of your park admission alone. We loved the songs and the dances, and Sammy was thrilled with the f...

Disney World: Day 7 Recap

We woke up on January 1st ready for our last full day at Disney World! The boys were a little slow moving this morning (who came blame them after 4 park days 😅) but we had a Lightning Lane booked at 8:05AM for Tiana's Bayou Adventure (formerly known as Splash Mountain). I sent Sammy and Dustin ahead to Magic Kingdom so Jack could have a slower start, and we met up with them in Fantasyland right around 9:30. We knew today was going to be a long park day. We were worried to leave for a rest in case the park reached capacity, and we wanted to make sure we stayed for fireworks! We packed our morning with lots of rides and tried the new beignets. Sammy loved them! I also caught my favorite picture of the trip this morning. I was trying to take a cute picture of the boys, and Sammy's arm was around Jack's shoulders. At this exact moment... Jack took hold Sammy's finger and bit it. He didn't bite very hard, but hard enough to get this reaction from Sammy. 😂 It is somet...
