That Magical Place- Part 3

PART 3

    As the days at DW went on, this 34 year old body HURT.  I wanted to stay in the bed and moan and groan, but there was no way I wasting anytime.  Curlers are necessary to tame this frizz!
"The Bubbas" (as Annie calls them) had some problems loving each other so they were forced to hold hands when they couldn't get along.  Needless to say, THEY HATED IT!!!!!  They wanted to hold my hand, but not each other's hands.
 Hold me momma!!!
 This looked like a good idea at first....
 BUT Ford slipped getting out and bit his bottom lip....
 Splash Mountain!
 Jungle Cruise
 No, it's not a real snake.  As the lady said, it's a real genuine rubber snake.
 He's over it....
 I kindly asked Fancy NOT to touch me during the ride... he listens well.
 I bought the boys two disposable cameras each.  They LOVED them.  Bitty took several pictures of a woman's rear, but he was satisfied with it.
 Waiting on the boat...
 Next time I got to DW it'll be cooler.  September was H-O-T!!!
 Trey and Ford went to the room on Monday afternoon to rest since they were going to the Ole Miss game which didn't start until 8:00 PM in Orlando.  Bitty and I ate cake!
 Then after they left we snuck back out to Magic Kingdom....I mean who cares if it's raining...
It wasn't crowded at all so I stopped to let a lady take some pictures and from there a star was born...
 Trey sent pictures from his outing with Ford.  They met up with the Walkers for supper.
 Bitty and I rode Splash Mountain...
And I caved and bought him this $19.00 fan/spray bottle.  And now that I see this picture I am certain it didn't even make it home.  Where is that thing???????
 After we hit up MK, we ate, and swam.
Thanks Memorial Day for a great trip to Magic Kingdom and to see the Rebels play.
DAY 5- Hollywood Studios...

In the hotel headed on another adventure.
 We had another character meal.  I don't think they cared too much for Princess Sophia.
 Doc McStuffins
 We do love Jake
 And I had to get in the Handy Manny picture.  When I was pregnant with John Brantley, and feeling like I wanted to die, Ford and I would lie in the bed and watch "Manny Manny" for hours!
 When you can't decide which dessert to eat????????
 It was bad.  Take my word for it.
 Then Trey and Ford rode Rockin Roller coaster while Bitty and I went elsewhere since he wasn't 48".
 Next was Disney Junior Live
 Toy Story Mania
 Tired... and Trey actually asked for these pictures.
 Then Trey and Ford LIED to me a really bad nasty lie.  They said Rockin Roller Coaster wasn't bad.  All I wanted to do was scream, cry, cuss, and hit someone.  It was worse than LABOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I will never again in my life.  It ruined my day.
 I hung with the garbage can for a while.
And Trey and Bitty rode Tower of Terror again.
 Then the boys had Jedi Training....
 That night we went on the "rocket train" monorail to dinner at The Grand Floridian.
 And we had to stop by Magic Kingdom on the way home at 9:00 for the fireworks and be sad it was our last night.

Some things about our trip that I liked:
1.  My sister in law planned the entire thing.  All I did was book the plane tickets.
2.  We didn't fly in or out of Orlando on the weekend so it wasn't too busy.
3.  I packed snacks and Capri Suns in our luggage.  It was nice to have them in the room and stroller when necessary.
4.  I also brought large and small ziplock bags for random stuff which came in handy.
5.  I brought my own ponchos instead of buying the $10.00 ones there.
6.  Autograph books and disposable cameras for the boys
7.  I bought a fanny pack, but it was actually too small so I used a body purse.
8.  STROLLER!!!!!
9.  Our hotel, The Wilderness Lodge, was a 4 minute boat ride from Magic Kingdom
10.  We had a meal plan.  It was nice to swipe our arm bands and go.
11.  Flying Southwest Airlines.... it was about and hour and 40 minute flight.

Ohhhhhhhhhh we had a BIG time!  I can't wait to go back.  I hope Trey will have detoxed enough by the time Annie is JB's age so we can take her back.  He's still in recovery mode.  I hope you enjoyed my vacation as much as I did!

Annie blog of her adventures while we were gone coming soon...
