So, Mommy and Dadoo had been planning a DisneyWorld vacation since last summer! We decided that we wanted to keep it a secret from the kids until THE MORNING WE LEFT! It was SOOOO hard, but SOOOO worth it!
We set up a little scavenger hunt to find Mickey's clues, which were 1) backpack filled with fun airplane things to do 2) Autograph book/pen for each kid 3) plush Mickey and Minnie. Then the kids watched a video that Mommy and Dadoo had recorded, and we told them we were going to Disney World!
Here the kids with their Mickey and Minnie balloons right before we left for our vacation!! (This is what was at the front door when the doorbell rang. Attached to one of the balloons was Mickey's scavenger hunt game instructions)
Anniston at the airport!
T-Man at the airport!
Dadoo gave us a REALLY BIG surprise! He arranged for a limo to pick us up at the airport and take us to our Disney Hotel. There was a DVD playing with a cartoon, and it was stocked with yummy drinks!
We checked into our Hotel, got cleaned up, and headed out for a short day at Epcot.
Mommy loved this waterfall!

We went to dinner in Norway at Akerhaus, a princess dinner! The kids LOVED it! They got to meet several princesses, and even walked around the restaurant during the Royal Parade!
The parade....
Mommy made Dadoo's day by making him wear his "Happy Birthday" pin...his birthday was just 2 days before our trip. People told him Happy Birthday everywhere we went, and he even got special desserts everywhere we ate!
The kids pooped out as we were leaving the park!
Mommy and Dadoo definitely will not be winning "Parents of the Year" award with this! The back of each side of the stroller velcro's so it can be up or fully recline....well, obviously the velcro came loose! HA!
Our first day was amazing! There is so much we did that we did not take pictures of (since we were riding!). We did Test Track (twice), Soarin, Nemo, Spaceship Earth, and several hands on areas at Epcot. We didn't even make it to the "countries" (well, besides Norway since we ate dinner there) since we didn't get to the park until 4 PM. There was a fantastic Illuminations show with lasers and fireworks that the kids loved.
