we love disney

We spent several days in Disney last week and had a ball! It was a looooot hotter and way more crowded than when we visited in February, but it was still lots of fun! We stayed at Disney's Beach Club Resort and enjoyed staying so close to all of the parks...especially Epcot! We were able to walk right out of the hotel and through the gates of Epcot...very convenient! Adam and Bop Bop had a class to go to during the day, but Yaya, Camp, & I were able to enjoy breakfasts, breaks, and evenings with them!

 We ended up going to all four parks this time, but Epcot & Magic Kingdom are still my favorites! :)

 We enjoyed a character breakfast both Thursday and Friday mornings...Camp loved it! Donald, Goofy, & Minnie all stopped by our table and Camp couldn't have been happier! He did such a great job waiting patiently for them each to make their way over to us.

the "meeka" waffles were mighty tasty!

on the boat to hollywood studios...camp doesn't meet a child stranger! :)

"hey kid!!"

We arrived at Hollywood Studios with all intentions of heading to the Toy Story ride...when I saw the 75 minute wait, I decided it wasn't quite worth it so we ended up getting in line to meet Buzz & Woody.

The line to meet the famous space ranger and cowboy took every bit of an hour or so, but we endured the torture to meet two of Camp's favorite characters!!

After meeting Buzz & Woody, we headed to the Muppet 3D show and called it a day at Hollywood Studios...

When Bop Bop & Adam were finished with their class for the day, we headed to Magic Kingdom. We rode Pirates of the Caribbean, It's a Small World, Peter Pan, & the carousel...

He loved all of the rides and when we were on the carousel waiting for it to start, he said "I need some money"...sweet boy thought we needed to put a few quarters in to start the ride! :)

round 2 character breakfast...camp enjoyed it as much as he did the day before!

After breakfast, Yaya, Camp, and I headed to Animal Kingdom...Camp loved the Triceratop Spin! :) He asked to do it again when the ride was over!

We also went on the safari ride and enjoyed seeing all of the animals!

Friday evening we all headed to Epcot...

Camp got to meet his all time favorite character, Mater!!

The flowers were so pretty!

this one's for you, erin slappey...

While walking through Epcot, we kept smelling the yummy waffle cones and bowls being made at the ice cream parlor...Adam could hardly stand it so we ordered this ice cream sundae complete with Mickey sprinkles!

Camp was the one that requested the sprinkles...sweet boy!!! :)

15 minutes after our ice cream date, we had dinner reservations in mexico so we met up with yaya & bop bop and had a fabulous meal!

After dinner we finally bought Camp the bubble gun he kept seeing around all of Disney! It was the best purchase I think we've ever made. He had sooooooo much fun blowing the bubbles and it attracted quite the crowd!

It came with one bottle of bubbles, but I think we ended up buying four more just to last through the night! :)

We stopped in Germany to watch the fireworks show...it was wonderful! I was too busy watching the awesomeness and I didn't take any pictures. After the fireworks, Yaya & Bop Bop took Camp back to the hotel so Adam and I could enjoy the two hours before the park closed...alone! It was such a special treat and we had a blast!

We ended up going on mission to space and soarin' (where I had my eyes closed the whole time)! We made our last stop in France for a glass of champagne and ended up closing down the park at midnight before heading back to the hotel.

It was such a fun little vacation and I can't wait for our next trip to Disney...it really is such a magical place!!
