Cruise Ends - Disney World Begins

So our cruise officially came to an end on the 5th day.  It was a vacation that we hoped would never come to an end, but inevitably it had to.  The 5th day we just woke up, ate breakfast, packed our bags, and departed back into reality.  We took the same shuttle van that we had taken to the cruise back to Orlando where we stayed in a hotel for the night.  The Embassy Suites we were in had a happy hour where they provided free all we wanted snacks and slushies for the kids.  Then in the morning we got to have omelet's for free.  It was very nice! 

The next day we woke up and went to Disney World.  We couldn't end this trip without experiencing another Disney destination.  We have been to Disneyland several times but this was our first experience going to Disney World.  I didn't realize how HUGE the park is.  We took a shuttle from the hotel and then had to take a ferry boat over to the Magic Kingdom aka Disneyland in California.  Because most kids were back in school and it was a little cloudy of a day the park did not have many people there in the morning.  We got to go on some classic rides like, Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh, the Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, the Haunted House, Thunder Mountain railroad (which Logan got completely freaked out on), Buzz Lightyear, and Space Mountain.  Space Mountain was the last ride of the day which ended up being good because Brayden got a little freaked out on it.  I think the favorite ride of the day was the Cars.  Our kids went on it 3 times!

We were able to witness a parade with all the main characters which was a blast, Brayden and Logan were in a live pirate training class with Captain Jack Sparrow himself, and they got to play on Tom Sawyer's island which we have never done before. 


Overall this trip has been AMAZING!!  Thank you so much Mom and Dad for making it happen.  We loved spending the time with our family in such a fun location.  Since coming home our kids have continued to ask when we are going back on a Disney Cruise.  They also continue to want to do magic shows and have dance parties each night just like on the cruise.  This is a memory that will last with them for a LONG TIME!!
