Walt Disney World Here We Come!!

We decided to take that family on a vacation before we leave to Korea this Summer. And so this past week we took the boys down to Florida to see Mickey Mouse. We left on Isaiah's birthday and he was so disappointed because we were spending his birthday away and not having a party this year. But we were celebrating it in a different way with just the family. And 80 degree weather couldn't be beat.






Day 1: Drive down to Orlando. 9 hour drive (not too bad) Celebrate Isaiah's birthday the best we can. We did ding dongs with a candle after a McDonald's lunch and then took Isaiah to any restaurant that he wanted to go out to for his birthday "Olive Garden" and we ordered him a special cake that they were going to be bringing out for him, but he fell asleep after one slice of pizza so his cake had to wait.




Day 2:
We spent the day at Walt Disney world at had a blast. Isaiah was bound a determined that he wasn't going to be going on the Haunted House, or the Log Ride, but we are mean parents and told him that he was going to have to try each ride that he could go on at least once before he was going to decide if he wanted to try it again. He wanted to try Space Mountain from the beginning and so that was the first ride of the day. Needless to say, he didn't want to try that ride again. Haunted House we went on twice and the log ride once. He started crying when we showed him Big Thunder Railroad and after said that he wanted to go again. Favorite ride by far was the cars and Buzz Light year we hit them both about 2-3 times. Braxton still loves anything fast and dangerous looking. So I think his was Space mountain and the Log Ride.










Day 3: We spent the day at Wild Animal Kingdom. Great fun! Our favorite ride was Mont Everest every one but Isaiah. He did ride it once and that was enough. The Yettie didn't scare him, it was the tunnels and he couldn't see where he was going. We also liked Dinosaur, well everyone except Isaiah. He loved the safari and the River raft ride best. We had a great time and love looking at the creative things that Disney puts into everything.

















This is the boys punishment today! They were having a hard time getting along. They had to be best buddies.



















Day 4: We went to Epcot. All of our favorite rides were the Crash Test Dummy Ride and an Astronaut ride. We rode them both twice.














Day 5: We went to Hollywood Studios and had a good time. Isaiah wasn't quite into this place, just a lot to see and not many rides to go on. We felt bad for him and ended up going to Magic Kingdom again and rode a few more rides so he could have some enjoyment in the day didn't get back to the hotel until 12:30 am. Our feet are soar!Not many picture taken here just one Isaiah had to have taken.



Day 6: Feet very soar, but it was free! Sea World. Braxton's favorite and Isaiah's least; getting soaked by Shamu. We sat on the front row. We loved watching the shows and all that there was to see there. We refused to take any more pictures we were just too tired and after five days of walking all day until about 10pm we were just beat! We did however go to the world's largest McDonalds. It was two stories equipped with not just the regular menu items but Italian and Mexican foods. They had an ice cream parlor and a two lane bowling alley. They also had an arcade and a singing moon like Chuck-E-Cheese. Yay!





Day 7: We packed up and headed up for a relaxing day at Daytona Beach. Yes, it was so relaxing! Just what we needed after walking so much before.






Yes, we have our very own Karate kid.
