When we arrived at the Nickelodeon Family Suites, we had 10 minutes before the Sliming (they pour a big bucket of green slime over you by the pool water slides). Of course we rushed down there so Ashlyn could get slimed...gross, then you swim in that water.
First night, dinner at Planet Hollywood.
Downtown Disney outside of Lego Land. The Lock Ness Monster is completely made out of Legos...pretty amazing.
All made out of Legos...except the B-man.
The first morning we had the character breakfast at the Nickelodeon Family Suites. We got to meet Dora, Patrick, Sponge Bob, and two characters from the Fairy Odd Parents. Brady was a little scared of Patrick...I totally understand, he's a little strange looking. His favorite was Dora...he may have a little crush on her.
As Brady says, "Bum Bob".
"Oh no, it's a bad guy! Get me out of here!" This was a spot to take pictures after getting off the Buzz ride.
One of Brady's favorite rides, Motor Speedway.
Ashlyn was asked to drive the boat on the Jungle Cruise ride in Magic Kingdom...what a lucky girl. The funny thing is, she really thought she was actually driving the boat...shhhhh.
Oh no, the claw.
Waiting on line to meet Buzz and Woody.
Brady's new favorite character is Buzz Lightyear. Even though we met him last year, we had to do it again. "To infinity and beyond!"
In Pixie Hollow with Tink. Ashlyn was so excited when we found out that there was a Pixie Hollow in Magic Kingdom. We waited on line for 45 minutes to shrink down to fairy size so we could meet the fairies. She was a little disappointed when she found out the Silvermist was not there...but she still got to meet Iridessa, Tink, and Rosetta. She still felt super lucky.
In the honey pot on Pooh ride.
Heffalumps and Woozles from the Winnie the Pooh ride. Brady was scared to go on the ride this year at first because he said that the heffalumps and woozles were too scary. We finally convinced him that they were just really silly. It was his favorite ride last year.
This was one of Brady's favorite rides...Buzz Lightyear. You use the toy laser gun in your cart to shoot at all the targets...or as Brady says, "shoot all bad guys". I lost track how many times we went on it. The Toy Story ride in Hollywood Studies was so much better, but we didn't spend that much time there and you needed a fast pass because of the long wait.
We ate in Epcot, in Germany two times for dinner...mainly for the show and of course the beer. The kids loved to dance after dinner. The Chicken dance was their favorite song to dance to...it still is. Don't you love Ashlyn's split.
The baby slides at Nickelodeon Family Suites. Brady wasn't big enough to go on the really big ones. That's fine, I don't think he would have wanted to anyway...too scary.
On Friday night we bought tickets for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (I know it was still only September). The kids loved dressing up. Ashlyn wore her new Silvermist costume (one of the fairies from TinkerBell) and Brady wore his Superman costume from last year's Halloween. They got to walk around the Magic Kingdom and stop at all the trick-or-treat spots to get candy. Yes, we had to hit all of them...we might have missed one, but I wasn't about to tell them that. All the villains were out to meet...like Captain Hook. Last year Ashlyn wanted nothing to do with any of the villains. At night they had a Not So Scary parade and fireworks show. It was really amazing...and this time the kids made it through the whole thing.
The last day we were in Disney, it rained (at least that was the only time). We decided to go to Epcot since there is a ton to do inside. We were lucky enough to visit a great character spot where the line was super short (last year it was way to long). We got to see Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, Donald, and the bears from Jungle Book. It really made the kids so happy.
This is Bruce (the shark from Nemo). This is one of Ashlyn's favorite places to pose for a picture. When you get off the Nemo ride he is among the things you can see and do...it's like an aquarium museum. We also talked to Crush (the sea turtle from Nemo) again like last year. All the kids get to sit in the front on the floor and he picks out kids to talk to. Ashlyn asked him a question both times we went to see him. It is such a cute show. Who knows when we will be back to Disney World, it is so hard to stay away too long.
