Disney World: Day 1

We've been debating about saving up and taking the family on a vacation to either Disney World or Disney Land. It's so tough to plan for the right ages though. You want all your kids to be able to remember it, but you don't want the oldest to be too old to really enjoy the whole essence of the experience. Right now was definitely not the right time with a one-year-old, but circumstances led Matt and I to decide to go by ourselves for a few days! We were fortunate that my parents were willing and able to watch our kids.

We had a blast and ran around from ride to ride like kids in a candy store! The week before Thanksgiving was a great time as there was very little wait time for each ride, and we rarely used a fast pass. Here are pictures from the first day at Hollywood Studios.

We loved this ride!

Another fun one

One of my favorite shows in the park.

Indiana Jones was another great show

Star Tours ride

Our favorite ride in Hollywood Studios! We wished we could have ridden this one several times. This was the one ride in the whole park where there was a 60 minute wait all day long! Luckily we were able to use a fast pass and save some time.

One of our favorite dinners. Yum! We ate at the Brownwood Derby.

Cheesecake for dessert :)

The Fantasmic show was enjoyable. It almost got rained out, but luckily the rain stopped just in time. We got pretty wet waiting for the show to start.
