My family and I just arrived home last night from our trip to Orlando. The trip was AMAZING! I had never been to Disneyland or Disneyworld before, so my kids and I got to experience it for the first time together. It was SOOO fun! Casey’s favorite part was going to Mid-Evil times to watch the jousting. The have a horse show, sword fights, contests and jousting. They take pictures when you first come in and then super-impose your head into a knight or princess costume, when Casey saw his picture he asked me “Can I just be a knight forever now?!” He’s been running around killing all the bad knights with his sword since then. Olivia’s favorite part was the roller coasters and the animals at Animal Kingdom. She love’s just about every animal out there and there were lots to see and pet. One of the day’s we went to a water park called Wet and Wild, and it was by FAR one the best water park I have ever been to! It has lots of crazy slides that were more like Roller coasters than slides….it was a blast! Overall we had an amazing time, and I can’t wait for my next family vacation.
I took hundreds of pictures (literally…I think took over 500!) and so I’m going to try and narrow it down and just show my favorites of the trip. Keep in mind these are total family snapshots, no photographic skill required. 
Sunday we went to Hollywood Studios – lots of fun shows and characters there!
L-R My brother-in-law and his fiance Nikki, Casey did one of those parachute things during the parade,
Olivia enjoying some ice cream, our favorite character….can’t remember her name, but she was so funny, “Boo”,
The Indiana Jones production, and Olivia trying to figure out how to wear her Mickey hat.
The Magic Kingdom
L-R, entering Disney, “The Country Bears”, waiting in line (we did that a LOT!), Casey on the ferry to the kingdom, “Jesse”, the Jungle Book elephants, Main Street USA at night.
The castle was incredible! When Tinkerbell flew out the window my kids went crazy, Casey asked “Does Tinkerbell live on this earth now? Then where is Peter Pan!!!!?” And Olivia just screamed “TINKERBELL” over and over trying to get her to wave at her! I felt kinda bad that we never got to meet Tinkerbell in person. At least we got to see her fly, which was awesome!
Favorites from Epcot
The Epcot ball as seen from “China”
Futureland – we loved the “Honey I shrunk the audience” movie. So fun!

My husband and brother-in-law….they got really into it.
The kids had fun sword-fighting after dinner.

Goofy with the kids, my little monkey, and there was a skywriter over the park the day we were there….thought it was neat!
The resort that we stayed at was amazing! I couldn’t believe how big the main pool was!
