The BIGGEST surprise EVER!!!

Keeping fun secrets is super difficult for me. We took our children to Disney World in 2008 and had such a great time. With Collin approaching 3 1/2, Aaron and I started discussing another trip to Disney now that he would be old enough to remember and enjoy the trip. One day in September I found a few good deals and it was done... Disney World for a week in December. After only one slip up by a family memeber the secret was kept. I took the kids to the grandparents one day so I could pack our bags with no interruptions or questions. My children are extremely inquisitive so trying to pack for four people in secret would have been difficult. The night before we left we gave each of the kids an envelope with a note from Mickey. This was the response... IT WAS PRICELESS!!! It was worth all of the teeth clenching for this moment.

Part of the great deal was an early flight in and a late flight out. We spent the night at the airport so being there on time for our 6:15 AM flight wouldn't be so tough. This trip was a little less scheduled because we felt like we knew what to expect and how to work the parks. Six days at Disney World allowed us to spend 3 days at the Magic Kingdom and 1 day at the Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios. Here we are the first night at Mickey's Christmas Party... We were a little wet but that didn't stop us from having a great time. We danced, ate cookies, drank hot chocolate, and even visited Santa. What a great way to start the trip!!

With three days at the magic kingdom the kids found their favorite ride...the TEACUPS!! We rode them so many times I lost track. I truly believe we went as fast as the little cups would go.

This was a great trip because we were able to do almost everything each park offered. On the fourth day we ventured over to Hollywood Studios. It wasn't our favorite but we did enjoy snow on Main Street with all of the twinkling lights. Guess who was there....Collin's favorite characters. The smile on his face was great.

On our last day we hung out with the animals. We started it off by having breakfast with Mickey and the gang.

This was so much fun!!! Six days doesn't seem like very long but I think we wore the soles off of our shoes and used up every bit of energy the kids had. I am so ready to go back but next time we may try to go West to Disney Land to check out the new CARS Land. I would love to share all my photos but 500 would probably take forever to load.
