First Day at Disney World!!!

My parents are the best and took our family (and Laura's family) to Disney World this year!  This year was the easiest year we've had there!  Jackson being 3 1/2 made it so much easier this year.  He didn't need to nap and we just made sure he got to bed at a good time so he was happy and well rested! :)
 
We met everyone at the airport and needless to say, the kids were excited!!
 

Here are all the kids getting ready to get on the airplane!

Jackson was so cute pulling his little suitcase.   :)

The boys did wonderfully on the airplane and then we took a bus ride to the hotel.  We sat in the back row and the boys were a little squirrely...

After we dropped our stuff at the hotel we immediately headed to Magic Kingdom!
 The teacups are one of our favorite rides!  This was the FAST teacup  (Elizabeth (my niece), Tom (my BIL, and Laura hopped in here too)
 This was one was pretty fast too, I rode in this one.  (Ben-my nephew, Cooper, and my dad) Jackson, Ryan, and my mom sat this ride out.
 One of the new Dumbo rides!!
 I look a little crazed..Jackson was totally flipping out and wouldn't ride on Dumbo!  I did get off, I didn't force him to ride.  Some days he was so willing to ride lots of rides, and some days he did NOT want to do the majority of the rides.  We just went with the flow! :)

 I just thought this photo was funny.  We went on one of our favorite rides at Magic Kingdom-the Buzz Lightyear ride.  See how into it Ryan is?
 There's Laura and my mom, then Ben and Cooper.  We rode on this ride, I don't know, maybe 10 times?  Maybe more?  Ben and Cooper had to ride together every single time. 
 Magic Kingdom at night!  We hurried over to get a place to watch the light parade.  It was beautiful!



We headed back to the hotel and got ready to get up bright and early for another park!

Hey you were wrong about the teacups, Jackson, Ryan, and I were in a very fast teacup! Jackson spun us around and we were moving!
Can't wait to see the rest of your pictures.

The teacups?! I would have watched the strollers. ;) What a fun trip. While I DO think you need to come west and try out "the original" and surrounding sights, I am glad you had another wonderful family vacation! *Sue, are you reading this? ;)

What a blast! Good for you to go with the flow...toddlers' waffling needs to explanation. How did you get such great shots of the lights parade? They look amazing!
