Day 1- We Are Leaving Tonight
Woke up the boys at 6:00am so they could get ready for school. Yes they had to go to school even though were leaving that night. After waking up the boys went down to cook breakfast for my family. My Wife Kelly was finishing up all the packing today, so I was doing everything else around the house and getting the kids whatever they needed. After feeding the boys breakfast, went and got Amanda ready for the day. Broke up the normal morning fight between my sons(hope they don't fight during the trip). After that got all three kids in the car. Took Josh and Justin to school and headed over to my parents house with Amanda to drop off some stuff. Headed back home and put Amanda down for a nap. Cleaned the house up a bit and talked with Kelly. Cooked lunch for my two lovely ladies and watched some tv for a while. After watching tv, got Amanda in the car again and off we were to pick up Josh at the high school. After picking up Josh headed to the middle school the pick up Justin and off we went back to the house. When we got home Kelly had all the bags ready. So Josh, Justin, and I started putting stuff in the van. Got the stuff in the van and off we were to the airport. Checked in and were at the gate in no time at all. Everyone was hungry so grabed something to eat. Amanda was getting cranky at this point, she didn't want to walk anymore, and wanted to be picked up. Couldn't she see I was holding all the bags so I couldn't pick her up. Luckily her older brother Josh came to her rescue and gave her a ride on his back. Got on the plane and had a good ride to orlando. Got the bags and got a ride to the swan hotel. Checked in and got to the rooms. Josh and Justin were in their own room while Kelly, Amanda and I were in the other. Went to look around for a while, but we were all pretty tired so all went back to the rooms for the night and watch some tv and slept.

Thanks for the live update. Did you get a discount at the Swan. I think that whole area is so great. You can walk to Epcot or MGM or take the boat if you are tired.

Hope no one fights and you have a great time.

there were only two fights the whole time we were there and that was for 7 days. The Boys in the hotel room when they were wrestling around a bit. Then my 12 year old son and 4 year old daughter had a little yelling fight one night before bed, but she has those with anyone if they are in her way at 11:00pm at night
