Disney World 2015

This year we saved our pennies and met my family in Orlando for a week at the most magical place on earth. 

Disney World!

We took Norah a year ago to Disneyland in California to ease her in. But now that she's almost 3, we knew she would soak up every minute of Disney magic. We have been so excited for this trip, and planned and planned. But I've learned that no matter how much you plan and how excited you are, kids still get sick. 

The first day of our vacation the adults and big kids played at Universal to check out the new Harry Potter World. My parents were kind enough to take Norah and Hamilton for the day since Universal really isn't their speed. Gma and Gpa took the kids to a character breakfast at the Grand Floridian where Norah got to meet all the princesses. Here she is with Grandma and Cinderella. It was later that day they had to go back to the hotel room because Norah got sick :( We were hoping it was just jet lag, eating junk food, really anything besides a 2 day stomach bug. 

She slept really good and ate a good breakfast so we thought she would be fine to take to Hollywood Studios on day 2. She seemed ok until about half way through our first line to meet Woody and Buzz. She started crying saying that her stomach hurt. I'm a mean mom and made her wait until we at least met Woody and Buzz. It was right after this picture she got sick and my parents offered to take her and H back to the hotel again. 

I felt terrible and had to try really hard to enjoy myself without the kids (the whole reason we flew across the country to go to Disney World). Here we are with my sister and her kiddo's and Luke, my brother's boy. 

We had a lot planned at Hollywood Studio's for Norah, Tower of Terror wasn't one of them so without her there we decided to go for it!

The picture of us dropping is priceless! We are all in the back row lol

We got back to the hotel early mainly because I missed my babies and wanted to check on Norah. We decided to give her one more night and if she still wasn't better we were going to take her to urgent care. But a Disney miracle was granted and she woke up the next morning back to her normal self. Which was great because it was our day at Magic Kindom. We got there when the park opened and stayed until after the fireworks. We didn't waste a minute!

 Here's the lot of us in front of the castle at the beginning of the day. It was right after this picture we all dispersed and did our own thing lol. That's what happens when the oldest grandchild is 19 and the youngest is 3 months old :)

We rode the rides, met all the characters, ate all the good food and honestly had a terrific day. The amazement is my child's eyes is why we do these trips. Oh, and I love it too :)

Honestly it really sucked that Norah was sick 2 out of the 3 days we had spent at Disney but I'm glad that we could make it up on the last day. And we also had 3 more days to just play in sunny Orlando which is always a plus.

Here we are literally walking out of the park. H is asleep, Norah is so tired she doesn't know what to do with her self. And Daniel and I can't help but laugh. Ah, this is life.



In case you missed our video on facebook, here it is again. Have a Magical Day!!!
