Hi ladies, just getting some time to sit down and reflect now.
We arrived in Florida at 3:30 on the 14th after a great flight down. The kids were awesome (I was flying alone with them...4 and 2.5) and I was complemented by several people on how well behaved they were.
Mom and Dad, who drove down, picked us up and we were on our way. We went swimming in the pool and just laid low the first night.
Same with the 2nd day as M&D had to go to a time share presentation that last 1/2 a day.
Sunday we went to DTD. We had lunch at T-Rex with a 20 min wait. The experience was awesome and loud!!! DS LOVED it, however DD didn't like them noises and the moving dinosaurs. When I said she didn't like dinosaurs, she was quite upset with me and said "me like them in a moozeeum"
It was really, really crowded and going into the stores was problematic with both the stroller and my Dad.
It was also COLD with a really wicked wind. We headed over to MK for the
MVMCP and were admitted into the park at 3:55. We went straight to Tomorrowland and got onto Buzz Lightyear. DD didn't shoot anything, but she loved moving the car around.
Most of the rides that we did that night were walk on, or a 5-10 min wait.
We should have been better organized and while DS went on some rides with my Dad, we waited around with DD, we could have taken her on some things then, instead of standing around and waiting. Anyway, it was COLD and we were trying to find things to warm us up.
DS knew a lot of the rides from our Feb trip and wanted to do them again, so that's what we did. We didn't even get all the way around the whole park. We did see the castle light up while we were on Dumbo, then saw Mickey's Twas a Night before Christmas 1st show. We did some more rides in Fantasyland, and headed over to Liberty Square for the 1st parade. Did I mention it was COLD? While my parents stayed with the kids in the stroller, I tried to find at least socks for them, but I couldn't (without heading to Main Street) I did see a lot of characters and we could have got some great photos as there were NO line ups to see them. I had wanted to see the 2nd parade, but with the cold my parents wanted to leave ASAP.
Anyway, the parade was awesome. And once it was over, we headed to Main Street to leave. We did get into the shops and bought DS some socks. I couldn't find anything for DD (and I knew I had some in the room, I didn't for him). DS really wanted to see the fireworks, DD fell asleep in the stroller, so we were hanging around a bit. He finally said he'd see them another time and so we headed out. We were able to see them from the Monorail, tram and then the parking lot. We also saw them from Epcot and so he was happy.
The next morning Mom wasn't feeling well, so we took a slow start to the day. We went out for breakfast and went back to the room around 11:30, when she decided to come with us. We were going to Hollywood Studios. It was cold again (have I mentioned how cold it was?
) We didn't attempt to do TSM, but as soon as we got there, we split up and Dad took DS to Lights, Motors, Action, which they both enjoyed, but DS was cold. (I had his sweater in the stroller with me). Mom and I took DD to see Beauty and the Beast. DS had seen it before and didn't want to see it again, but wanted to see the cars. Anyway, DD was upset that she didnt' get to go with DS, and wasn't too thrilled with the Beast.
. We met back up, did the Muppets show, met with Lighting McQueen, stopped for a snack, saw the tail end of the Block Party and then walked onto the Great Movie Ride (or whatever it's called). DD was scared, but didn't cry. She was shaking on Mom's knee though.
After that, we did a bathroom break (I was PTing DD just before we left and she did awesome while we were away...she's done now) and got DS into warmer clothes. Then it was time for our reservation at PrimeTime 50's Cafe. DD was screaming for no apparent reason, and then I finally figured out that she wanted her sweater on. In the meantime a CM gave her a lightup TinkerBell that goes on the drinks, to shut her up. It worked, BUT DS wanted one too. <sigh> We order our food, which was all very good, but DS wouldn't eat until he got a Captain Hook one, so I bought him one, with a cup, but no drink in it (for the same price
_)
After that we walked around, looked at the decorations and stuff and then headed into Fantasmic. We got great seats and Mom bought us a towel to cover up with (have I said how cold it was?
) As soon as it was over, we headed home.
The next morning we had breakfast at the Crystal Palace with Winnie the Pooh and Gang. The kids loved both the food and the characters. It was awesome, and is something that I'll do everytime we go to WDW. After that it was over to Adventureland, a ride on Aladdin, then the Jungle Cruise (2nd longest wait of the day at 15mins), walked onto POTC, and then waited 20 mins for Peter Pan, which was the longest wait of the day. We got to see Philharmagic, walked onto Cinderella's Carrousel, had a bite to eat at Pinnocho's Haus (long, long wait, Dad said they had NO idea what they were doing, and then the Health Inspector showed up. Food was good, BUT not worth the hassle.) Then a ride on Dumbo (I hate that ride) and off to Toon Town Fair.
We walked onto Barnstormer, then headed into County Bounty, the line for the Fairies was 60mins and the Princesses 45m. DD really wanted to meet Tinkerbell though, and so we got in, while my Dad kept DS (we'd lost Mom somewhere). We were through in about 45mins and it was worth it. They were awesome with DD and she just loved every minute of it. She was in total awe of meeting Tinkerbell, who told her that she knew the Tooth Fairy and that her tooth would come in just fine (DD is 2.5 and had a front tooth pulled in August because she'd fallen and damaged the root and was having recurrent gum infections) When we got out and met up with Dad and DS, they'd been through the Judges Tent and met Mickey and Minnie and said the line was short, so I took DD. She LOVED Minnie Mouse and Minnie want to keep DD.LOL!! She was the only kid in there, so she got lots of attention and everyone fawned over her.
When we came out, we met up with Mom and took the train aroudn the park. When we got back, we went into the store again and the line for the Princesses was down to 30 mins, so we headed in, with DS in tow this time. Once we got in, he decided he didn't want to meet them, but was happy watching them from back with me. The princesses were Cinderella, Belle and Aurora. DD was in heaven. She just couldn't believe that THE princesses were talking and hugging her. Belle even fixed her pig tails. LOL! It was a great experience.
Then we bought some Mr Potato Heads, and a few other things. We were able to hit a few more rides, did some more shopping and then while Mom and Dad got FF for dinner, I got our spot for the parade, again at Liberty Square. We were prepared with the towel and I had got a blanket for $15 because I had spent $40, so we were set for the cold (have I mentioned that yet?
) Spectromagic was awesome and DD was so thrilled to see Minnie Mouse, she waved her little hand so hard, I thought it'd fall off. She kept leaning into DS's face and saying "It's Minnie Mouse, it's Minnie Mouse" LOL!
After that Mom and Dad didn't want to stick around for the fireworks because they wanted to beat the crowd out of the park, especially with the stroller on the Monorail and Tram, but DS won out and we got to see them, then were swept along with the crowd out of the park, and in all honestly it didn't go as bad as we thought it would.
Our final day in the parks saw us at AK. I'd never been there before so it was all new to me too. DD was PO'd and grumpy because she couldn't sit on the outside of the tram. She screamed for about 15-20mins.
We headed straight to Kiliminjarroo (sp) and it was a great ride. We saw a lot of animals. Then we did the walking trek and got a great view of the gorillas and DS LOVED all the skulls they had on display. We went to Asia, had lunch at the Yak and Yeti (YUM...Dad said it was the best meal of the whole trip) and then did the Maharajah trek. The kids loved the tigers. We went to Dinoland, rode on the Triceratop spin, again no line ups, and watched Dip, Splat and whatever the other guys name was. We had a snack and were able to see part of the parade (from a distance). Then we headed out of the park. It wasn't a jammed packed day, but we were getting tired.
And then it was off to SeaWorld (where Ds had a complete melt down) and Daytona Beach for the weekend. Did I mention it was cold?
Anyway, here we are, back at home, safe and sound and the kids want to go back. So I guess they were happy!
we have picked up lots of small items over the past few months and plan to give the DD's a gift every day, hoping to decrease spending. 
I also was able to get the free mp3 player from old navy again this year so now I have two I plan to load all the HSM soundtracks and other disney songs and give one to each for the plane and travel time between parks and activities hope to keep them quiet for just a few minutes. 
I know it was cold down there and you were likely expecting/looking forward to more warmth - but didn't you say you were in Canada! So wouldn't even 65 feel warm to you? I hate cold and I am so glad we went when it was warm and got out of there. It is unseasonably cold. We're in Ga and it's already threatened snow. It was just funny as I read it! I don't blame you though, I know you were probably looking so forward to warmth.
