Our Latest Disney Adventure



We just couldn't pass up Disney's free dining offer in September, so it was time for a trip. Nick, Zack and I met up with my mom for a quick 4 day visit to WDW. The weather was gorgeous, the crowds were light, and the "world" was magical as usual. Even though we always visit some of our favorite places and attractions (Soarin, Finding Nemo the Musical, Toy Story Manis, fireworks at the Magic Kingdom to name a few), I also like to try new things each trip. Here are some of the new things we did this year:



1 - stayed at the Caribbean Beach resort

2 - arrived at EPCOT at opening and saw 7 characters within 20 minutes

3 - watched O Canada and Reflections of China in circle vision

4 - ate at the revolving Garden Grill in the Land

5 - visited with Buzz and Woody in the air conditioning at Pixar Place

6 - enjoyed an entertaining meal at the 50's Prime Time Cafe

7 - rode the new Star Tours II

8 - rode the WDW Railroad around the Magic Kingdom

9 - got Gepetto's autograph

10 - ate delicious Italian food at Tony's Town Square


Something I got to do without this trip was pushing a stroller or carrying a backpack. It felt so light and free! Speaking of no stroller, I was a little worried about leaving Luke at home for the first time, but he did great. Of course I'm already planning our next vacation - maybe a Disney Cruise in 2012! We are already saving and putting money away in our vacation account for that one.
