Disney World Vacation

This past week, Ricky, Savannah, and I hopped on a plane and flew to Orlando, Florida and did the whole Disney World Vacation. I know some of you may say, isn't Savannah a little young for this, but we decided that she would have an awesome time and decided to take her anyways. She knows who the characters are now and watches them daily. It was great and an awesome experience to see her reactions and expressions on her face. Here are some pictures of our trip, but if you want to see all of them you will have to come over. I am planning on putting together a scrapbook of our trip to help Savannah better remember our vacation for the future.
Since we went in October it was not that crowded at all. Don't get me wrong, yes there were people there, but we did not have to wait in lines long at all. Savannah got to see all the characters and loved every moment of it. At first, she was a little hesitant, but by the end she would run up to them hug them, get their autographs, give them a high five, give them a kiss, say goodbye and be ready to move to the next one. It was a cycle she did with each and everyone of them. Here she is with Mickey and Minnie Mouse, her favorites.It was a coincidence that the resort we stayed at was the All-Star Movie Resort. There were 4 different sections of this resort and we actually stayed in the 101 Dalmation section. 101Dalmations is Savannah's favorite movie right now. She though it was the coolest thing that Pongo and Perdy were outside of our room. Here she is standing with Lucky. We had to give him a hug everytime with left the hotel.

The first day up, Savannah was ready to go. She had her purse in hand and sunglasses on, giving us a thumbs up that she was ready to get going.
Here we are at the Magic Kingdom in front of the Princess Castle. We bought this Mickey stuffed doll one night and from that moment on, Savannah had to take Mickey everywhere and he had to do everything she did. If she ate, he too had to eat, if she rode a ride, he too had to go. One night at the Marketplace in Downtown Disney, we are not really sure what happened, but we turned around to see Savannah falling from a bench straight on her head. We thought she would have a huge bump on her head/face, but to our surprise I guess it sounded worse than it looked. Anyways, the only thing that calmed her down after this tragedy was to put a bandaid on her head, along with Mickey's head. To this day, Mickey still has the bandaid on his head.

We waited in line to see the princesses, but by the time we got up to the front, Savannah was dead asleep. She would not wake up. Here she is with Aurora, Sleeping Beauty herself. Don't worry we later went back when she was awake as well.One of our big events of the vacation was getting to eat at the Crystal Palace with Pooh Bear and his Friends. Savannah's face was priceless seeing all the characters in action. I think her favorite was Tigger, by far. She loved every second of this part of the vacation.
Another great part of this vacation (for Ricky and I) was that Savannah was beat by the end of every night. It was the easiest thing to put her to sleep, unlike at home. There were times that she did not even make it awake until we got home. She would fall asleep on the bus ride back and not wake up to put pj's on. She than would sleep like 10-12 hours straight until the next morning. This never happens at home.

Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Night

Tuesday night, we got to go to the Magic Kingdom and trick or treat with Mickey and the gang. This was an extra part of the vacation. During October Disney has a special that if you pay extra then on one night the park is open until midnight for special guests only. You get to trick or treat for candy, get really close to all the characters, they have a special Halloween parade, and special fireworks. The perk is you can dress up and wear your costumes. Here is Savannah as a butterfly fairy. She loved her outfit and was sooo excited.

We again got to see more characters and get pictures. Even the characters had there special costumes on. This was a great and another fun experience.

Ricky and I dressed for the occassion. We had our orange and black on. We even bought special Mickey Pumpkin ears that were perfect for the occassion. Don't we look good?

The best part about this halloween fun, was that it was not crowded at all. They had certain areas set up where they played music and the characters would come out and dance with all the kids and adults. Savannah not only loved the dancing and jumping around, but the fact that she got to do it with her favorite characters.

We had an awesome time on our family vacation. Not only was Disney the greatest, Florida was having record high temps for this time of year. It was wonderful weather. It was great to see Disney through Savannah and her reactions. We will definitely be going back in the future.
