Disney Dreams

After a day of staying at the resort, the kids were rested and ready to spend the day at Disney.  I had wanted to have the kids wear special shirts.  Adam and Wendy had discovered that the local Target store had a very large section dedicated to just Disney products.  We were able to get us all tee shirts for under $40 total.  Making note of that in the blog so that I remember that next time around.  

I think the adults were more excited than the kids.  Hunter was excited, but wasn't sure what to expect.  Pulling into the parking lot, they were excited to see a tram.  Adam and I both knew that it was going to be a fun filled day.  After parking and riding the tram, we began the journey around the park.  I couldn't believe how many people were at the park.  It was a random Monday and packed.  This just confirms that Disney is one of the busiest places in the world.  Here are a few of our favorite moments...
Adam picked out this shirt himself..."I'm so Goofy!"  I have to admit it was a perfect pick.
Looking at Hunter's face on the train over to the park was so much fun.  The closer we got to the park, the bigger the smile.
I'm glad that I grabbed this photo opportunity.  It was a great beginning for a great day.
Family fun time!!!
The lines for the characters were all so long.  However, we were the first couple in line to meet Jasmine and Aladdin.  This is now on the movie list for this summer.  We will be raiding Nannie's VHS movies this summer for sure.
The line for Dumbo was ridiculous, but inside the circus tent there was a playground for the kids to play on.  We were given a beeper and called when it was our turn to go on the ride.  The people at Disney don't miss a thing.  
This is my silly willie.  Pigtails and all!
Hunter was proud to be big enough for all of the rides.  Mackenzie was just a little too short for a few of them, but was able to join us in driving the race cars.  
Off we go...
The 3D movies were awesome!!!  Again, Disney doesn't miss the opportunity to shine above the rest.  Later that night, we came back with Hunter and this was one of his requests.  


After meeting up with Annmother and Pops for dinner, Adam and I decided to take Hunter back to the park to try to catch the light parade.  We were hounded with rain immediately after the show and didn't make the fireworks, but had a great time.  I am so glad we were able to go back and make some more memories with him.  
Hunter is now requesting for us to live closer to Disney.  He doesn't realize how close we are in comparison to most everyone else.  He has mentioned that several times over the last few weeks, after we returned home.   We had a blast!!!
