Every Day is FryDay: December 2016

After a week in Orlando, I am just now getting all my (MANY) photos loaded of our FANTASTIC trip to Walt Disney World ! It was so much fun! I just wish all the Frys could've been there! School and work kept some out of the loop but hopefully, next time! This trip was : Natalie, Brad, Kemp,Daisy, Jon, Katie, Carter, Ella Kate, Beckett and...ME! We celebrated Beckett's first birthday while there! He had just gotten tubes in his ears a few days prior to leaving, so he was a bit puny for the first couple of days. (but, he still hardly ever cries!)! Natalie/Brad/Kids went down a day early and got to visit with Brad's Uncle Joe! So, that was a great time for them . Also, we listened to the Ala/AU game on the way down and finished listening as we walked around the newly renovated "Disney Springs" (it's awesome!). Oh, and ROLL TIDE! (sorry Jon! lol)

I did a little "interview" with the kids to find out what they liked best! Here's what they said....

Daisy: she liked riding the "Runaway Mine Car" (7 dwarfs ride) and laughing at me holding tight to her hand! she also liked the "Dinner at 1900 Park Fare" with the Mean Stepmother and stepsisters!! And I think she had a little crush on the Prince! that night she enjoyed wearing her tutu and shirt that matched Ella Kate! She loved meeting all the characters, too.

Kemp: Kemp LOVED Space Mountain/ Runaway Mine Car/ Thunder Mountain/ Everest! All the fast and crazy rides! But, I also think he got a kick out of meeting some of the crazy characters. He loved "Goofy Golf" and just hanging with his family! He also loved "Mickey's Christmas Party" that we went to on the last night. He said he also loved staying at the Contemporary where the monorail went through our hotel.

Carter: Hands down: Buzz Lightyear's Ride! And ALL the rides! He loved every minute of everything!!!!! He loved meeting Stitch and Goofy! He loved the "JINGLE Cruise" (aka as "Jungle Cruise"). Oh, and he loved riding the monorail to different "Character Dining" that we went to during the stay.

Ella Kate: Needless to say , the PRINCESSES were her fav! She LOVED each and every one of them. And cried to ride the Carousel about a hundred times! She also enjoyed "It's a Small World" and PIRATES of Caribbean ! Her fav was the sit down dinner at Cinderella's Castle!

Over and over Nat, Brad, Jon and Katie would tell me "this was the most fantastic trip, ever!". It really was! Only a few mishaps: Daisy was sick on afternoon ("Disneyitis"--too much fun/rides/late nights) and I had terrible blisters on my feet (yes, as always!) and I think we all were coughing and sneezing at one point. But , thankfully, nothing kept us from the fun we had thanks to cold meds and advil!

The weather? Couldn't have been more spectacular! Hot days (yes, hot!) and cool nights (not too cool!). Crowds? not nearly as many as we were thinking would be there! Most rides didn't have long lines at all!

All in all we had THE most fabulous time!!!!!!!!! So much so, Katie/Jon went ahead and booked for next year! And invited me ! yes, I'm back in!

I'm going to post highlight pix for a few days b/c they're that good! We didn't see the Hornes until Sunday night so the first day is just with the Cullens. We met them at "Goofy Golf" on Sunday night . (a week ago ! WAAA)

If you've never been to Disney World during Christmas, enjoy seeing all the beautiful decorations and I loved the gorgeous "Gingerbread House" at the Grand Floridian hotel.

So, take a little trip with us and pretend you went along with us!
