We're back. It was an amazing trip!! Alot harder with two kids rather then one 'go with the flow' tiny man. It felt like we were gone for about 2 months!

I'll have my first day posted by tomorrow some time.

That's really cute Natale. Dexter woke up really quickly once he realized why he was being awakened!

I didn't end up going to sleep until after midnight the night before. It seemed like the list of things to do was endless! It didn't seem like too much later that Shawn was telling me to get in the shower. I think by the time I fell asleep I had only gotten 4-5 hours of sleep! Oh Well!! No time to sleep - we have to go to Mickey's House!
I showered first and then filled the bath up for Skylar. She wasn't to happy being taken from bed only to be placed in a bath. But maybe now she knows what I feel like every time I'm sleeping and she wakes me up.
Dexter took a bath the night before so all he had to do was get dressed. I snuck into his room with the video camera (and you guys know the rest... check out the you-tube video I posted yesterday if you haven't seen it yet). He was a lot more excited then I thought he would be. He was happy to go but he thought it would be best if we waited for the sun to come out first.
We arrived at the airport exactly two hours early.

It wasn't that big of a deal... the kids were really good. Shawn was entertaining them by walking on the moving sidewalks. They were all being troupers.

The theme of the day actually was "mommy is tired and crabby." I'm not sure if it was because of the lack of sleep or because of all the stress I was leaving in Chicago. I'm not sure - BUT - Shawn was being awesome not crabby at all (most of the time it's him) He was very sweet all day.
The only seats left on the plane together were all the way in the back. We had the last possible row. Shawn had fun looking out the window with Dexter while I tried to keep Skylar from jumping out of my lap.

Dexter was reading the safety guide.

It wasn't very bumpy - so I was grateful! Skylar finally fell asleep about 45 minutes before we landed.

Once we arrived to MCO we made out way to the Magical express desk, where I checked in.

When we got in the proper lane the cast member said the name of our resort. So I told Shawn that if I would have kept the original surprise he would have found out then... NOPE! He said he didn't even hear her!!

There were only a few families on the bus and we left with in 10 minutes. They changed the movie to reflect the new 'celebrations' so it was fun to watch. Shawn & Skylar were sitting behind us and Dexter turned around in his seat to look at them. At that very moment The bus driver thought it would be a good idea to slam on his brakes!!! Dexter goes flying out of his seat to the floor. He was ok - but I don't think he was the only one who flew out of his seat. There was another little person crying in the front of the bus.

Skylar on the bus.

Dexter on the bus. He was mad at me when I took this picture.


Here's another video from the day.

Yay! So glad you posted the first part already! Can't wait to hear more!

First installment was excellent! Great airport and plane pics, can't wait to see how excited the kids were to get to the hotel.

Shortly after Dexter's spill we arrived at The All Star Sports. The check-in was easy. Although even when I told them we didn't want to be able to charge to our room key they did it anyways. No harm - I just wrote "do not charge" on the signature line of each card. I didn't have high hopes for this resort - BUT - I was VERY wrong!!! They must have done some remodeling since we had stayed there last, because the rooms are as cute as can be!! Nothing more then 2 beds in a small room... but they are very clean and nicely done. We got a room in the surf building - second floor - with a view of the pool.

Here's some pictures of our room.

Here's a picture on us getting excited about our room.

And Here's the YouTube video to prove it...
