I am going through "Vacation Remorse"....the sad, yucky feeling that one goes through after spending a wonderful, fun-filled, active week at Disney World. This time we took my mom from Texas with us. ( Note to Amy & James: Ryan already told her when she was needing to rest that next time we were bringing you guys!) We stayed at the Disney Vacation Club resort,
Saratoga Springs, which was very nice. We visited all 4 parks, even hitting Epcot and Magic Kingdom more than once. Reagan was tall enough for all the rides this year, so Paul was very excited to hit all the roller coasters and Test Track and Tower of Terror...twice! Ryan could also ride many of the rides, but didn't care for the ones in the dark with large drop offs, like Splash Mountain and Tower of Terror. As far as me, well, I can tell I am getting old when I get off a ride and I have motion sickness. On the Star Tours ride, which is a simulator ride of a Star Wars ship, I had to close my eyes through the middle of the ride in order not to "lose my lunch"...how sad is that?? It was an absolutely wonderful time. Even my mom loved it and said what a wonderful experience it was. She and Riley spent
alot of time hanging out since Riley didn't like any of the rides except the Speedway Cars and Jungle Cruise at Magic Kingdom. Well, It's a Small World wasn't too bad for her either. We had many character dining experiences, which were all great. We decided to go to Mickey's
BackYard BBQ at Fort Wilderness Resort. It was like a hoe-down, with the kids able to dance with Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Chip. They loved that! We love going to Disney because they make you feel so special while you're there. They even mailed me my watch, which was lost on the Dinosaur ride at Animal Kingdom. NOTE: That is a pretty scary ride. The kids did not enjoy it. I posted
alot of pictures, but I took over 250, so it was really hard to narrow them down. I hope these
highlite some of the awesome memories we made....
