Disney World 2011

We just got back from Disney World for the kids first trip and mine and Ward's second trip. Wow has Disney changed since I went for the first time in the 6th grade.....We had a great trip and the girls loved it. There was so much to do. The trip started out a little rocky with two little girls with the flu. We started tamiflu on Saturday and did not leave until Sunday so they were a little better by the time we left but not fully recovered until Monday. Then on Monday I got the flu and was very sick. I did Epcot in a total fog because I felt so bad. I had to go to a care clinic in Disney on Monday and got tamiflu as well and was better by Tuesday late afternoon. By Tuesday we were ready to have some fun. Some of our favorites were our character dinners with the princesses at Akershurs House in Epcot, Chef Mickey, and Crystal Palace. We loved Peter Pans flight, Its a small World, and the play Beauty and the Beast. I did Space Mountain and it was so scary. I think I am too old for roller coasters. Ward did Tower of Terror and some other scary roller coasters. Sallie was too short for all the bigger rides. She is 39 1/2 inches and you have to be 40 inches tall for a lot of those rides. She did get to ride thunder road with Ward and loved it. We stayed at Wilderness Lodge and the girls got to sleep in bunk beds which may be Sallie's favorite part of the trip. She also loved the swimming pool which she begged to go in everyday. It had a pretty cool water slide that she loved. It was pretty hard to explain that we can swim anytime and Disney was what we were going to do during the day time. Anna did great in Disney. I thought that she would be scared of alot of the characters and shows because she does not like a lot of noise but she loved it all. The car ride was a breeze. We have never traveled further than about 3 1/2 hours in the car with the kids and were a little worried. We drove straight both ways. On the way home we only stopped one time for about 15 minutes. I was so proud of them:) It was a great week of family fun and hopefully happy memories for the girls. We had such a great time. The pictures we took and the smiles tell it all.
