Surprise Location revealed...

We made it to our surprise location, like you haven't already guessed!!!

This part of our trip was unplanned from when we started about 12 days ago but where th open road takes you , you have to go! It’s also our 8th wedding anniversary so what better place to enjoy our anniversary then the “Happiest Place on Earth”, Disney World. We stayed at a Disney Resort Hotel that’s family and budget friendly with movie themed hotel wings. We stayed in the “Herbie the Love Bug” section and a ginormous (to quote Elf) Volkswagon Bug was the entrance to the hotel. We spent most of the afternoon enjoying the Florida heat and humidity with Mickey in his wizard hat shooting water at us in the resort pool. Fun family time was spent jumping, splashing and swimming together, even little Lukie. We then ventured over to Downtown Disney that takes the cake above the Southern California Downtown Disney for sure.

The next morning we took the family to the Magic Kingdom but not without a slow start. Our night’s sleep was broken up many times by waking children and trying to share a double bed, but our adrenaline kicked in as we were so excited to go and “play” for the day, it being our anniversary and all. Already it was HOT when we hit the resort but we knew to go straight to Fantasyland where all the children’s rides are. We had quick lines and a lot of success with the rides and good attitudes right away. That good streak continued on through the day and we found that we missed our good old Disneyland because the Magic Kingdom is set up so similar but not as good. Logan’s favorite ride of the day was a rollercoaster for children called Barn Stormroom in Mickey’s Toon Town Fair. In the same land, Lauryn and I went to meet the princesses and had special Mom and daughter time. It’s completely worth the wait, 30 minutes in air conditioning with movies playing! Luke’s favorite rides were Small World and the Tiki Room where he danced and barked at the birds. We completed our day with Frontierland riding Pirates of the Caribbean and the Jungle Cruise Boat where Logan got to drive the boat and talk on the PA system. The day went pretty well, enough to know that we should end it while we were ahead and skipped the fireworks show and one last Fastpass before mommy fast-passed out. We’re on to Mobile, Alabama tomorrow reluctantly leaving such a beautiful and fun place, but I’m excited to start heading West again. Happy Anniversary my Love!!
