Fun at Disney World!

We got back from Disney World yesterday afternoon. It was such a nice family vacation! Everyone had such a great time. With 4 kids all under 5, we managed to all stay sane and enjoy ourselves! Can't wait to go back again, maybe in a few more years!

Brody LOVED any/all rides. We were kind of surprised by how much he liked them. He wasn't really interested in watching shows or parades. If it moved and gave you a thrill, he was all for it. Brody would ride the kid rides, but honestly, he preferred the major rides and roller coasters! He rode Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, Tower of Terror, Dinosaur, Expedition Everest, Soarin', Test Track, and lots of little rides. He was such a good line-waiter as well! It was extremely crowded, so the lines were long. A lot of times, I would wait in line with Brody while Ryan had Raegan strolling around the park, or vice versa. We waited in line for Test Track for 90 minutes!! Soarin' was 70 minutes! He did so well, only whining and complaining a few times. Even managed to hold it when he "had to go!"

We got to see lots of Disney characters, which Brody also loved. Raegan, on the other hand, DID NOT!! Her grip on us got tighter and she wanted to GO whenever a character was close by. Maybe next time she will be into it! We had a few pool days at the hotel, which was fun as well. The pool had a waterslide, which was a hit. Raegan enjoyed playing in the water spouts and just running around and happy to be out of the stroller!

We had such a wonderful time with my parents and my sister and her family. Disney World is a magical place! Yes, it was hot, stressful at times, there were a few meltdowns. But, that is to be expected in such an overwhelming place. Both kids did well in the airports and on the airplanes. This vacation will go down as an awesome time for all of us! Thanks Mom and Dad for taking us and putting up with all of us! We enjoyed it so much and love you guys lots!!

The fact that you remained sane is a victory in and of itself! I've been wondering what the perfect age to take the kids might be and it sounds like Brody's age is perfect. I'm glad you had such a good time - and with reinforcements!
