Disney: Part 2/3

After a relaxing start to our vacation, it was time to pick up the pace.  Our first park was Magic Kingdom and Groompa enjoyed one more day with us before heading home.

Hannah researched each park before our trip and picked the things she wanted to do.  First up was Space Mountain.


We got fast passes instead of waiting in line and enjoyed two other attractions before our scheduled time.


The two princesses were excited to see the iconic castle.


We're not the kind of family to all wear the same exact shirt; but there's nothing wrong with a theme.


Jefferson fell asleep during the fireworks show.  Yes, I said during the show.  Stacey had to hold him for the entire bus ride back to our resort and carry him up to to the room.

Day two was Epcot day, but we spent the morning in Downtown Disney.  We were all excited to play in the Lego store.  Ben posed for his picture with the giant Lego scene out front.



After a fun lunch at the T-Rex Cafe and a boat ride back to our resort, we headed to the park with the giant golf ball.


Ben and "Thad Dad" got to talk to Crush (the sea turtle from Finding Nemo), Hannah and Ben got to design their own roller coaster and ride it in a simulator, and we all worked together to thwart Dr. Doofenshmirtz in our Agent P Mission.


In addition to visiting the permanent cultural pavilions, we happened to be there for the International Food and Wine Festival.  We tried a few dishes, but ended up eating dinner at the Japanese pavilion - and Ben brought out that pose again.


The day concluded with another fireworks show and Jefferson falling asleep again.

The fun continues in Part 3.
