Once upon a time a very generous Papa and Nana took FIVE little grandkids to Disney World!
I can say with all certainty that each one had a wonderful time. When we arrived we couldn't pass up the pool! We once again stayed at Kidani Village at Animal Kingdom.
I most certainly must commend our fearless leader! Zack planned and coordinated EVERY detail of the trip - hotels, dining reservations, order of rides and events at the parks, FAST passes and even bathroom breaks...haha just kidding!! Our trip was smooth and enjoyable thanks to Zack's meticulous planning.
We visited three parks - Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom and Epcot. We even did Magic Kingdom twice!
Even Caroline had a great time but had to sneak in a few cap naps!
Papa loved spending time with his grandsons.
A fun family picture with Rafiki.
At Animal Kingdom we had a character lunch at Tusker House.
A much bigger smile from Fernie when she gets some alone time with Daisy!
After the Triceratops ride I asked Fernie what she thought of the ride...her response:
...maybe I should have saved this for the Christmas card!
Teacups with Papa.
Anyone for a 3-D movie?!?
Nana and her lovies.
I lost count on the number of times we rode the carrousel...
Some very happy grandkids!
(never mind the crane in the background - Grrrr!)
At Magic Kingdom we had a character lunch at Crystal Palace.
Caroline was intrigued with Pooh.
We snuck in a little checkers on Tom Sawyer Island.
Parade time!
On the days we didn't visit a park we spent some time playing at the playground.
We were all smiles at Epcot!
What kid doesn't like a jumping fountain?!?
At Epcot we had a character lunch at Akershaus Royal Banquet Hall in Norway.
Cinderella had two prince charmings!
Even Caroline got some love from Cinderella.
Some fun family time with Goofy.
Always time for ice cream in France!
Seeing Donald in Mexico (he didn't appreciate the Mickey Mouse shirt...we told him next time we'd have Donald Duck shirts).
This is the view from right outside our hotel room. They are so beautiful!
Caroline loved the pool.
Zack's parents were spending some time in southern Florida and jumped at the chance to drive up and see us in Orlando. They were able to spend one day at Magic Kingdom with us!
I love my mom's face in this picture. I can only imagine what it was like driving with Fernie!!
Very happy and blessed grandchildren.
Our last special lunch was at the Be Our Guest restaurant.
The final wave before going down Splash Mountain!!!
Thank you Papa and Nana for the AWESOME trip!!
We all had a GREAT time.
