DW- Day 4 (Part 2)

After some rest time, we headed back to Magic Kingdom. Then we decided to take the monorail over to the Polynesian to have dinner there. After dinner, we went to their beach to have some fun before the fireworks begin.

Elijah and Byron's creation





We liked the Contemporary (and have no regrets staying there) but the Polynesian is still our favorite resort.

Day 4= Another success!

DW- Day 4 (Part 1)

Since Magic Kingdom has the majority of the rides, etc, that Elijah likes, we spent Tuesday there. 

 This is the water slide at our hotel that Elijah LOVED going down it! 
We worked in some pool time too.

 Not sure what is up with Elijah in this picture, but notice that all the chocolate candy is almost gone off his Mickey treat?

 Check out who we saw in the new area of Fantasy Land


 These clowns put on cute shows and Elijah had the best time watching them



 Swiss Family Robinson tree house


 Jungle Cruise 

 Taking the raft over to Tom Sawyer Island to do some exploring

 Fun on the island

 Enjoying the water taxi


Chill time before we head back out

DW- Day 3

On day three we took the bus over to Animal Kingdom. We spent the first part of the day there, then late afternoon we went back to Magic Kingdom.

 This year we made it to the area of the park that had some neat things for kids to do- petting area, animal shows, bug hunt, etc.

DW - Day 2

Sunday we spent the day at Epcot and then went back to the Magic Kingdom before the fireworks. 

 Happy Mother's Day!

 Eating breakfast and checking out the monorail 




 Elijah wanted to go back to Nemo again this year, as well as the interactive show with Crush. Both were still as much fun as we all remembered.



 There is always time for ice cream and chocolate in Elijah's book!




"Hey, you do the best you can!" :)

 This is the reason I get to celebrate Mother's Day ... nothing better.
 Thank you dear Lord for blessing us and picking us as parents to this amazing boy!! SO worth the wait!!

Time to cool down


 When we got back to the room for Elijah's "chill time" (yes, that is what we call it & no that isn't code word for nap) we found his friends laying sweetly on the pillow and he wanted me to take a picture of them. 

 Watching the fireworks from the "secret door" at the Contemporary


Enjoying the water parade, on the beach, at our resort



Day 2- Success! No crying, melt downs, etc. Just a lot of fun! And Elijah didn't fall asleep till 11:00. He didn't want to miss anything!
