I will start this Trip report with an explanation, our plan was a whole week at WDW all the parks the whole shebang. A week before we left I found out my Grandfather passed away he lived in Melbourne Fla. So we changed our plans and were able to be down there for my family and both of his services.:)

So on to our cast :

Tyler 12 ~ Not too cool for The Magic Kingdom, Yet

Katie 8 ~ Refuses to ride Barnstormer

Madi 3 turning 4 ~ Not afraid of anything

Then there is Me Elizabeth and Terry (DH)

I will be throwing in our dinner at T Rex, 1900 Park Fare Breakfast, just for fun :rotfl:
We arrived Sunday
This year we stayed at Orange Lake resort. We were so happy we got the bungelow we requested it was a 2 bedroom 2bath condo on the 14th hole of Cranes Bend golf course. Sunday evening we went to St Cloud to spend time with my family, we ended up out on the boat looking for Gators. It was alot of fun. My mom and sister flew down with Baby Abby.

On Monday The guys went and played golf and the girls and I hung out at the pool.
Tuesday was Teen Tubing this was the one thing Tyler wanted to do. Tyler had a ton of fun Tubing with other Teens while dh and I rented the little boats( Like the ones you see on Bay Lake) for the girls. They were super slow but fun until Katie and I stalled and were stuck in the middle of the lake! It took DH and Madi forever to get to us then he had to turn around and go back to shore. Finally Katie and I were towed in and given a Jet ski to use. I was concerned because Katie is afraid of evrything but she LOVED the Jet ski as we flew around the lake she kept screaming to go faster. I wish I had gotten pics because this was a great day.
This evening was the funeral for grandpa.
Wednesday afternoon is the military ceremony for Grandpa.

The back half of this dino is a booth.

We were told a metor shower happens every 20mins and it seemed like every 10-15 to us. It scared Madi at first since the lights dim and it makes alot of noise, all the Dino's and Mammoth's go nuts.

He said it was good but he was stuffed from the sampler.

I chose the Mammoth Mushroom Ravioli - Walk on the "wild" side with our massive mushroom ravioli simmered in a rich lobster cream sauce with roma tomatoes and fresh spinach.

I have decided that there is no easier way to wake up the kids than " Are you ready to go to Walt Disney World? " Madi went to bed mad last night because As we left DTD she saw the Disney signs and wanted to go then. So today she didnt believe we were really going until I put on her Minnie shirt and put her hair in mouse ears.

Alittle back story on the sunglasses she wanted Tinkerbelle ones like her sister but Tink only came on the big girl glasses so after a lot of tears and dad finally giving in mumbling somthing about (lucky your the baby) we found Ariel glasses. She was such a big girl and kept up with her glasses all day.

They were so much fun they asked if we were going into have breakfast with The one in the castle, Katie said "No" they told her how much they liked her for taking their side.

As soon as we decided we were going on Thursday I called to get ADR's for 1900 Park Fare with no luck so I gave up. Then Wednesday night I called to get info on DTD and tried again and got resi's for 11:30!!! I did a :banana::banana::banana::banana:Happy Dance:banana::banana::banana::banana: This was the only breakfast the kids all agreed on.
We had 2 hours to kill and since the park was supposed to be packed we hit Fantasyland first. We got to ride Pooh, Peter pan, IASW, the HM and PC all before our ADR
