As you know we are currently out here in Orlando a few days into our mega-trip. Well, my 8 year old son Ryan has a new best friend at school, and he's been sending him messages the last couple of days telling him everything he is up to, and I thought it would be sweet to share. Not sure how long this little journal of his will last, but we have two entries so far :)

From Monday:

hello lee I am in florida having a Ice cream and watching the balloons go past yesterday I went on a brand new star tours ride It was brilliant we went to a restaurant called the coral reef we saw shark and brown trouts and rainbow trouts today we are going to the magic kingdom and we will go on a ride called big thunder mountain and at this very moment my sster is argueing with my dad PS. tell mrs bourne that I am having a great time. from Ryan

And then yesterday:

Hello Lee I went to the magic kingdom and went on space mountain it was awesome and here was another ride called splash mountain it was an amazing ride I hope to do it again. we went on a car track called the tomorrow land speedway it was amazing speedway. After that we went to a ride called buzz lightyears space adventure where you shoot a laser at the targets. We went on a ride called the tta witch is a fast moving object that ou can relax in and that goes into space mountain witch is in the dark it was brilliant.We went on a ride called the pirates of the carribean it was fab. After that we watched a parade and it was extremely hot on the ground!. After that we came home and went for a swim in our own pool!. Love from Ryan

Adorable, eh?

Aww that's sweet. You can hear all the excitement in his writing :goodvibes Hope for a few more updates. popcorn::
 

Ahh that brought a tear to my eye.

I have an 8 year old too and he would write something very similar.

Please keep us up to date :)
 
When you read how much the kids actually enjoy it - it makes all the saving and planning worth while :thumbsup2
 
It is always great to see it from a child's perspective. Tell your DS he made me wish I was at Disney right now. Great Trippie! :thumbsup2
 
Aw thanks guys. Yes, Mrs Bourne is his teacher...I think he told her all about his trip beforehand and keeps talking about her too. Think she's made a big impression on him.

Stand by for the next installment, i'm sure...we're off to Animal Kingdom shortly. I think the safari might figure in his comments :)
 
Enjoy AK! And tell your DS we are all waiting in anticipation for more news. He writes very well :thumbsup2
 
Awww that is so sweet!!!! Best trip report ever! :goodvibes

Can't wait for the next update.

Many thanks for sharing :goodvibes
 
Here is today's latest 'review'...enjoy!

Hello Lee I went to the animal kingdom we got there just as the park had opened we went to expedition everest and got four fastpasses and went on the ride once with no fastpasses It was great and we went to a safari ride to see all of the an animals that was okay.Afer that we went to Expedition everest and used one set of fastpasses It was a ittle bit dodgey and the next time we did it It BROKE DOWN! And for half an hour we were just stuck there and then four people came to rescue us and we got out and we saw all of the behind the scenes but you can not take any pictures :( Love Ryan
 
Aww that's lovely. You will have to save them and print them out for his 18th birthday :) My daughter is so excited about our trip I think she could do a great TR.

Wow, Ryan! Sounds like you had quite an adventure! We also had EE break down on us last year, but our adventure was less exciting because we were turned away at the loading area and so we didn't get anyone to rescue us. ;) Loving your reviews. My daughter is 9 now but she was 8 when we went last year and she was also so very disappointed not to be able to have another go on it. :sad2: But it sounds like you are having an awesome time. Keep these wonderful reviews coming. We look forward to hearing what you do next.

:goodvibes
 
Tell your DS he has another enjoying his reports.

You do know Lee will be asking to come next time! :)
