We originally planned to go to Orlando to visit Universal Studios parks alongside Sea World. As we drew closer to time to go and did more planning, we decided the fun and family atmosphere was more our speed.
We stayed at Disney's All Star Resort. The kids did not know we were staying on Disney property until we pulled up. Of course we flew down. The resort was adorable and the sports theme was perfect for us.
Day 1:
Animal Kingdom:
We ate dinner at Yak & Yeti.
We love Expedition Everest!
Lion King is killer! You guys were giraffes.
A group of giraffes is called a tower, zebras are a dazzle and rhinos are a crash. Learned something new on on safari.
Brooks checking out the old school pay phone.
Impromptu dance party.
This is truly important family time. So great to be away together, laughing and enjoying each other.
Day 2:
Sea World's Aquatica Water Park
We were blessed to have purchased unlimited Quick Que passes here and at Sea World which provide unlimited front of the line experiences! Amazing and totally worth it. We especially enjoyed the 2 Break Away Falls where the slide drops out drom under you for an initial free fall as well as racing slides, a slide with all 4 of us in same raft and Dolphin Plunge in a clear slide that goes through water with dolphins swimming around you.
Dinner was in the Polynesian's Kona. Delicious!!!
Day 3:
Hollywood Studios:
The much anticipated return to Rock N' Roller Coaster. Landry was not tall enough last time and was anxious to ride!!!
Love Buzz Lightyear
Beauty and the Beast Musical and the new Frozen Sing Along were great. Storm Troopers were on duty.
Hollywood Tower of Terror too!

New Mako Shark coaster.
Clyde and Seymour Seal, Walrus and Otter Show.

Ice Cream!
Antarctica. It felt so good to be freezing with the penguins.
Dinner was a surprise to Landry. We returned to the Grand Floridian's 1900 Park Fare. We took the ferry from Magic Kingdom to Grand Floridian and to Polynesian this week. Beautiful and relaxing.
Day 5:
Magic Kingdom:
This is such a beautiful and magical place. We had so much fun on Tom Sawyer Island and experiencing Splash Mountain which was being maintenanced on our first trip. The parade was fabulous and Dole Whip frozen treats were perfectly refreshing. Lunch was fajitas and dinner was seafood.
Landry did not ride Space Mountsin on our first trip so it was really fun experiencing it with her for the first time!
First time on Splash Mountsin for all of us!
Tea Cups!
Parade!
Finished the night at the new Seven Dwarf's Mine Train.
