After a very uneventful 18.5 hour drive we finally made it to Orlando. We timed it perfectly and after unpacking and some lunch it was nap time for all....just what we needed with a long overnight drive. I napped outside in the warm 80 degree sun! I just couldn't get enough! Then we headed down to Disney's Boardwalk for some dinner with John and Janet. Then we walked around a bit to enjoy the nice night! All Jackson wanted to do was ride the boats, unfortunately he never did get a chance to ride those boats and all Brayden wanted to do was walk.
The next day we headed over to Downtown Disney and strolled around. We finally made it over to their little splash area to have a picnic lunch and splash around. Our boys just love the water!
Right before the trip Jackson got into Toy Story. He is obsessed and loves Buzz Lightyear. He now jumps off everything with open arms saying, "to infinity and beyond!" He was thrilled to "meet" and hold Buzz Lightyear's hand.
Getting ready to splash around!
Brayden got shot in the face with water more than once (which he didn't mind that much) and Jackson lost his sunglasses down one of the Mickey shaped water holes but they played and played and could have stayed all day!
Soon John and Janet joined us and Jackson convinced Papa to take him on a train ride. What a great end to Jackson's day!
It was a great start to our trip! Lots of family time and warm weather (have I said that already?). We ended up getting our Disney passes that day too. We were planning on just paying for 2 days of Disney, but ended up getting residency and for only $11 more a ticket got their resident annual pass! It was a lifesaver for me, who could only take so much Disney. We did end up going to Disney a lot, BUT we would only go in the later afternoons for a few hours at a time when it wasn't that crowded. It was much more manageable than doing full Disney days. It was kinda perfect and would do it again. However, now Jonathan thinks we need to go back before our passes expire next February....shoot.
