Disney World: All the Rest

When you do Disney for 8 days you are lucky enough to have lots of down time for other fun things!  We took full advantage of all the pools and no vacation is complete without mini golf :-)

Caitlin and Hayden playing some Mario in Downtown Disney
We ate at the T-Rex Restaurant for the first time...think Rainforest Cafe but dinos!

 

Some call it a hill to hit your ball up...Parker calls it a slide!

Pool time!

Saratoga Springs is along the Disney waterway and these otters were frolicking outside our room!

Disney World: Character Encounters!

We saw LOTS of characters at meals and throughout the parks...we were picture heavy for this part of the trip!  They both love the time with all of them and don't mind waiting in line to see them although Parker would be super excited to see them and the second the camera came out he was straight faced.  Some are more photogenic than others once the camera comes out...the children not the characters :-)

Chef Mickey: Dinner





Best picture ever!

Tuskar House: Breakfast

Around the Parks









Disney World: Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom

These two parks provided a few more pictures, at least!  The first tropical storm of the season came through on our Animal Kingdom day...we had to head home after a few hours in the rain but thankfully it stopped in the afternoon and we could go back!  Lots of pics with characters though coming on their on post :-)

  

Playing in Homey I shrunk the Kids!

3D Time for Toy Story Mania!
 




It was raining pretty well when we went on the safari after our character breakfast which apparently equals lots of animals, so that was one positive of the day!

DinoLand ride!

Playing in the boneyard!

Disney World: Magic Kingdom and Epcot

We went to WDW for 8 days in June!  It was great as always :-)  We did all the parks, some more than once, and lots of other things in-between.  The experience was as magical as ever, even though it was Hayden's 3rd time and Parker's 2nd!  The amount of pictures I did not take is seriously ridiculous...lots of room for improvement!  **Update...found missing pics from MK day!



One of Hayden's favorite rides!
Teacups!
Dumbo Ride!
The other two!

 Celebrate Today Parade






The line chains were great fun...good thing these two were still free!
About the worst ever but it was all I got!
