Day 3- Animal Kingdom

Today we went to the Animal Kingdom. First we headed to DinoLand USA and rode on the TriceraTop Spin.

DinoLand or Bust!
We meet Baloo and King Louie. (McKinley is the red head to the right)

My favorite part of the day. McKinley and I played the African drums! I think we are both naturals!

We rode the Wildlife Express Train and headed to Rafiki's Affection Section. McKinley got to pet lots of goats.


With his binoculars in hand we headed down the Kilimanjaro Safari Ride. We saw lots of rhinos, giraffes, warthogs and elephants.
It started raining around noon. We decided to head back to the room to rest. We all took a long 3 hour nap and then just hung out at the resort for the rest of the day. We are getting all rested up for our last day. Tomorrow morning we have breakfast with Mickey and the Gang!

Day 2

Day 2 is OVER! We went to the room and rested for a very short while. McKinley was still long enough to rejuvenate and then was ready to go! We went down to our resort's park and played for a little bit.

Nice hair huh??

We went back to the park for a few hours. First we rode the Carousel.

And then "It's a Small World". When we got off of this ride he said "wow, I really liked that Peter Pan Ride"
We ended the night sitting around the fountain. We were way to tired and grumpy to stay for the fireworks. We got him a very expensive light toy instead so he could create his own parade and lights!
I wonder what he is wishing for???


Magic Kingdom

We are back in the room resting and napping, so I thought I would post some pictures from our morning before we head out again!
Here is McKinley and Daddy in front of Cinderella's Castle.
McKinley finally meets Mickey Mouse!


Our first ride of the morning was The Magic Carpets of Aladdin. McKinley liked it when it went up really high!

Next, we headed over to the Jungle Cruise.

Mommy and McKinley at Briar Rabbit's playhouse.
All aboard the Mickey Express!!!!!
McKinley loved the Mad Tea Party Teacups.
He liked to go around faster and faster!


Finally after many more rides and lunch, we were all very tired!

Day 1-Downtown Disney

After a LONG car ride and a few missed turns.........we made it! We checked in and headed to Downtown Disney. Here are some pictures from our evening.
Here is McKinley with Buzz Lightyear. Daddy and McKinley with Mr. Potato Head

McKinley got very excited when he saw a train. He kept saying "All Aboard the Mickey Express". I can't wait for him to see the REAL Mickey Express tomorrow!


Only a few of you will get this.......but in the picture below McKinley is saying "ROCK ON" and playing his air guitar! (Really, who teaches him this stuff????)
And to end the night a Mickey Mouse Ice Cream!
And Nanny this one is for you.........he is eating his ears off!

All ready for bed!

The Magical Adventure is about to begin.......

Just wanted to share what McKinley got today! "Mickey Mouse" sent these to McKinley. It is a personalized cookie bouquet. It is hard to read in the picture, but some of the cookies are "notes" from Mickey. McKinley was SO excited. If he got that excited over cookies, I cannot wait to see how he acts when he really gets to meet Mickey!

There is a dinosaur on the loose.........

This costume was passed down to McKinley from a friend of mine. I didn't think that he would like it because he is funny about having things on his head......but as you can see he loves it. He thinks that he is really scary.

Let it snow..Let it snow..Let it snow!

McKinley had a great time playing in the snow!
Here is he with a BIG snowball to throw at mommy!







We made a snowman......a very small snowman. We put him by our doorstep!
Finally, we warmed up by the cozy fire!
