Sunday, September 28




We start driving to DISNEY WORLD! Six more hours and we will be there! We leave later than we expect, but get there and check into the Wilderness Lodge. Our room faces the Magic Kingdom, and passed the trees you can see the castle! We dropped our stuff and head to Downtown Disney! Number one thing to do is head to Once Upon a Toy and build the light saber. Anna finds a stuffed Tinkerbell she likes immediately. We show her every toy there, but she is stuck on that first Tinkerbell. Of course her father buys it for her. Before we left, I told them they each got one costume and one toy! Now let me chase a rabbit about these costumes. Now I just knew these costumes would be amazing since they are $65, and the ones at Target are $20. Well, my opinion, there is no difference. But none the less, I ask which costume Anna wanted over and over, and she kept telling me she had all of those, and she didn't want the Tinkerbell dress because Tinker belle doesn't wear a dress. So that day we left with a stuffed Tinker belle and the light saber we built which is a fantastic deal. You build it anyway you want which is pretty cool, and it only costs $20! Andrew also finds a Lego watch that has the little Luke Skywalker that he wants. We tell him we will think about it. We can't find a Luke Skywalker costume.

We leave Downtown Disney and catch the bus to the Yacht Club where we know we can walk the Boardwalk to Epcot. Here is the great stroller debate. We have tried and tried to figure out what stroller to take. We love the ones you rent at WDW but they are $41 a day for the double. That seemed like an absorbent amount to spend on a rented stroller. So we bring my Maclaren Volo stroller (that I recommend everyone own this over any kind of stroller), and we borrow Amy's Chicco stroller. Having 2 umbrella strollers could not have worked out better. They were easy on the bus, and great for times like these when we had long distances to walk to get in the park.

So we go do Nemo and Turtle Talk with Crush. They ask Anna a question, and she doesn't say a word. Andrew just sits next to her and rubs her back. So then they ask Andrew his name, and then they come talk to me. You all know how I love to talk on the microphone. So then Andrew and I go ride Soarin'. It was wonderful. We then go eat at the Season's counter service with our meal plan. We only get three meals and all share. We have plenty of food and lots of variety. We head back to the hotel as the fireworks are going off. We go to bed...
