Magic Kingdom
When we initially planned our trip, we planned to do one of the water parks on our 5th and last day in Disney World. However, we were on a time schedule in order to be home in time for my niece, Samantha's baptism. We decided that we could only put in a half day at one of the parks, and in the end decided on Magic Kingdom. Matt actually stayed home and packed up everything with the baby, and I took the 3 older boys. It was a huge sacrifice on his part, though Bryson did have a major meltdown at one point that made me wonder if I would have rather switched places with Matt. (No, I know I got the better end of that deal.)

Bryson's favorite ride that he wanted to do again and again.

Pirates of the Caribbean ride
A kid's ride that I like a lot is Peter Pan. We have previously always used a fast pass for it, but we waited the 15 minutes in line on this last day. I'm so glad we did! Using a fast pass skips past all the details of the Darling house, and there are some really cool features! I was impressed by the rooms and attention to detail and loved the shadow bells and butterflies. (The shadow bells ring when you touch them with your shadow and the shadow butterflies land on your shadow hand if you hold it still.) Winnie the Pooh is another fun wait line with several activities for the kids to do as you wait.
The drive home was better than the drive up simply because we decided to push through and not stop. The baby still would only sleep in 30 minute intervals and then wake up and fuss--just not happy in his car seat no matter what because he hated being strapped in. We left our Disney resort at 12:30 pm and got home just after 2:30 am with only 2 stops. We made it home on fumes because Matt didn't want to stop and get gas and wake everyone up. I was able to doze some, but it wasn't worth it with the baby waking up so frequently. We were tired the next day, but we survived!
Fun trip, fun memories!!
