So, at the beginning of the year, we had this crazy idea... what if we took the boys to Disney...
So, I started planning and planning and booking, and before we knew it, we were putting them on a plane for the first time, and off we went, for the best trip ever and for making such sweet memories that Tyson and I will treasure forever. Given their ages, they did GREAT! We literally could not have asked them to do any better. It was like Disney really was magical:) They both took 3 hour naps each day and loved seeing all the characters and riding everything that they met height requirements for! By the end of the trip, every time Carter sat in anything that was going to move, he would announce, "I ready!" Ethan was super brave and rode the 7 Dwarfs Mine Train twice in one day! Here are just a sampling of our pics from the trip...
 |
| Waiting on our plane to arrive |
 |
| Killing time with snacks, of course! |
 |
| E was just a "little" excited!! |
 |
| My "infant" for the flight |
 |
| Ethan and his window seat! |
 |
| Our "first" ride in Orlando, the tram at the airport |
 |
| Carter finally gave in for a tiny nap on the bus to the hotel |
 |
| Exploring the hotel, at a running pace! |
 |
| Checking out the beds.. |
 |
| I don't know what Disneyworld is, but I like it so far:) |

| Obligatory Mouse Ears pic |
 |
| C was very into the hula dancing at dinner |
 |
| E, not so much |
 |
| First breakfast, then MICKEY! |
 |
At this point (opening show at MK), C is still unsure of what the fuss is all about
|
 |
| But once he saw MICKEY, he was ready to go!! |
 |
| Carter still sings "It's a Small World" |
 |
| Under the sea |
 |
| Buzz Lightyear was definitely a favorite! |
 |
| E was taking down the aliens! |
 |
| Shouldn't the driver be able to see over the steering wheel? |
 |
| Carter says, "don't worry mom, I'm an excellent driver!" |
 |
| Driving selfie! |
 |
| I think someone should check that one's license too! |
 |
| Dumbo! |
 |
| Even the carousel at Disney is fun! |
 |
| The people mover was a big hit with these 2 as well! |
 |
| We had to ride it back to back! |
 |
| Dinner at the Beast's castle; E not a fan of the Beast |
 |
| C liked him bc he was "soft" |
 |
| After eating obligatory ice cream ears, the boys LOVED the bear jamboree |
 |
| And the electric light parade was a great ending to our first magical day |
 |
| We started our 2nd day with a character breakfast |
 |
| C was a little slow to warm up |
 |
| E "cheesed" it up! |
 |
| C making eyes at Minnie |
 |
| After breakfast, we headed to the pool/splash pad for the morning and again after naps |
 |
| Napping soo hard |
 |
| C napping hard too! |
 |
| The water wore them out! |
 |

| Animal Kingdom! |
 |
| Another character breakfast, and C is warmed up and ready this time! |
 |
| They loved the "big truck" for the safari ride |
 |
| Petting zoo, also a hit |
 |
| E brushed every animal he could reach! |
 |
| After Lion King and Nemo shows, we fit in one last ride on triceratops before heading back for naps/lunch |
 |
| After naps, we headed back to MK and got the obligatory castle photo |
 |
| And a much better Dumbo family selfie |
 |
| We tackled Fantasyland again |
 |
And caught Mickey's Philharmagic
|
 |
| After ice cream sandwiches for "dinner" while we watched the parade, we took our last monorail ride back to the hotel |
