I realize that a month has passed since our first big family vacation to Disney. To sum up our week in a nutshell it was:
- VERY hot and humid
- rainy
- Awesome!
- Terrific
- exhausting
We had a super terrific time and so much so that my husband agreed to a second trip! In 2015. Gives Amelia some time to get older and appreciate more of Disney. We didn't even get to walk all of Epcot because she was just so exhausted from the constant on the go we were doing. So I didn't force it. Just another reason to go back so that I can see the countries in Epcot.
We stayed on-property at Pop Century. One of the value resorts and we liked it. Only thing that we will change for our next trip is having a family suite. We stayed in one room and it was small but that wasn't a big deal. The biggest problem we had was Amelia and sleep. Now initially, I wanted to book a resort with family suites so that we had the room. My husband vetoed the idea due to the fact that we weren't going to spend much time in the room except for showering and sleep and didn't want to spend the extra money. He was banking on the fact of Amelia just being sooo exhausted from her day's adventures, would pass out in bed as soon as we walked in the door at night. It would have worked but the walk from the shuttles to our room gave her a second wind and she was ready to go swimming at 11pm, not sleep. Lesson learned.
Had a few days of rain but that didn't dampen our adventures. Just put on some ponchos and away we went! I have a ton of pictures but I'm not going to unload them all here. Just some highlights.

I could go on and on. I'm having a hard time picking and choosing the pictures to upload. We had an awesome time and can't wait to go back!
Enjoy your day!

WooHoo! The Disney post! Thanks for sharing the pictures -- they're all so cute! I LOVE the princess pictures and the one of Miss Punkie whispering to ... I have no idea who he is -- looks like some super hero or something? Looks like you guys all had a grand time. Oh! And Miss Punkie Pie in Mouse Ears -- A Classic!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope little Miss Punkie Pie knows that she is one lucky little girl! What a trip!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo's, I'm glad you had a wonderful time! And Punkie is just sooooo sweet! I definitely enjoyed Disney better the second trip, it was a bit easier to figure out what we liked and wanted to do :)
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing! so glad you got to go... and you're smart to go again in a few years!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great time! How cool that she's young enough to really enjoy all the characters.
ReplyDeleteOh, it looks like you all had a fantastic time. I love seeing through your eyes. Makes me want to go. I know your little one was over the moon with excitement!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I was wondering when you'd post some pics! Looks like a great time! And yes it is soooo exhausting! I think out next trip will have to be in January where hopefully we'd be guaranteed some cool weather, not in the middle of summer like in 2008! Jenn
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you guys had a wonderful time!!
ReplyDeleteI love all of your pictures...Disney is just so magical! I love the character pics. Those are so much fun! But I agree, you can certainly feel tired there! Amelia is just so cute! What precious family memories!
