Disney World Day 3

On our third day at Disney World we decided to take it easy. We spent the morning at our hotel. First we rented a four wheel bike and went for a ride.


Ben was in charge of ringing the bell.
Afterwards we went swimming!


And played in the hotel arcade.


That night we went to eat at the California Grill at the Contemporary Resort. It was the best meal we had all week and we had a great view of Disney World.



After dinner we spent the rest of our evening at Magic Kingdom.

We got to watch part of the fireworks from atop of the Dumbo ride.
Ben loved the fireworks except for this part!

Disney World Day 2

We spent our second day of Disney World at Magic Kingdom.

Riding the boat there.
Our first ride was the tea cups. We didn't have to wait at all and pretty much had the ride to ourselves. Ben loved it!



Next up was the dumbo ride!



Ben loved the castle.
We really enjoyed the people mover in Tomorrowland. There was never a line and Shawn and I got to rest some and Ben enjoyed riding a choo choo.
I love these pictures of Ben driving the race car. You can barely see his head over the steering wheel.
There he is!
After the race cars, we rode the Buzz Lightyear ride. You are trying to defeat Zurg in the ride and Ben still is talking about how he defeated Zurg. Afterwards, we went to meet Buzz Lightyear. Ben was SO excited, but still not ready to go up to him by himself.


We watched another Celebrate parade that day.

Seeing Jesse and Woody.
Waving to Woody
Woody waved back and pointed to Ben. It was so sweet!

That night we watched the parade and fireworks.

Ben had a great view from his Daddy's shoulders.


It was such a wonderful day with great weather and very short lines!

Disney World Day 1

Last week Shawn and I took Ben to Disney World. We had a blast. It was so much fun watching Ben have so much fun.

We arrived in the afternoon and headed on over to the Magic Kingdom. Ben has been talking about going to see the castle for weeks.

I think this picture is so funny. Ben can't take his eyes off the entrance for our picture.
Right as we got there this Mickey Mouse Celebrate Parade came by. Ben LOVED it.


Ben loves Woody and Jesse
Waving to them.
So Happy!
After the parade we rode a few rides. This is the first time Ben has ridden on a horse on a carousel. It helped that his daddy rode with him.
That night we went to eat dinner at Chef Mickey!

While waiting for our table we went to the gift shop and Ben tried on this Goofy hat.

Too funny
Ben is so funny when it comes to the characters. He could see them all around when we got to dinner and he kept talking about them. But, when Donald Duck came walking up to our table Ben immediately started crying. He was much happier when I held him and we went to meet Donald together.



As you can see, he was much more comfortable with the characters at the end!
