We love staying at Fort Wilderness when we go to Disney - each family gets their own cabin and golf cart, the kids can run around like crazy, we can eat there quite easily and it's a beautiful place to be. These pictures will look a lot like last year because what was all new and done for the first time then is now becoming tradition.
We spent our first day at Disney at one of their amazing water parks - a good choice for this lovely warm July weather. Of course the camera doesn't come out at the water park so you'll just have to trust me that a fun time was had by all! We then all gather at Fort Wilderness for a barbeque dinner at the cabins. This year all went according to plan until one of the kids found me to let me know that Ellie had been locked in Uncle Brian's cabin. Uncle Brian and I went to investigate and sure enough Ellie was in there alone, stuck on the top bunk, and we couldn't get the door open with the key. Ellie couldn't get down from the bunk (the ladders were cleverly disguised at the end of the bed) and was beginning to get upset. Aunt Ali called maintenance while several of the rest of us tried to keep Ellie calm and 15 minutes later she was out. An exciting start to our Disney adventure!!
I actually took some pictures the first night so here are some - and Stacy just gave me a disk with his so I'll post about the Magic Kingdom tomorrow. Let's just say we wrung the magic right out of the kingdom!
We gathered the kids on the fence-post again just like last year and most of them look pretty much the same this year. The picture is missing Anders who was not at all interested in being photographed.
We made s'mores again -so yummy and so messy!
We watched the show and waited for Chip and Dale to appear. We danced the hokey pokey and the chicken dance while we waited.
Chris and Will are big buddies and both happened to have on their Star Wars shirts so I had to get a picture of them together.
Thank you Mama and Papa for this very special time together!!
