We're Back!

We're back from Disney and we had an amazing time! Jason & I have always loved Disney, then, 3 years ago, when we brought Madison for her 3rd birthday we saw it in a whole different way- it's pretty magical to a 3 year old who believes everything is real! This was Brady's first visit to Disney and we got to relive that magic all over again. It was great fun watching Brady's reaction to seeing Mickey Mouse for the first time and he LOVED all the rides, especially Splash Mountain and the Haunted Mansion, which we went on about a dozen times a piece! He also loved Tower of Terror... he loved them all! Madison's birthday was extra special... it seemed to never end. When we booked our trip we let them know that we would be celebrating her birthday and boy did they help us to celebrate! From cake or cupcakes (with singing & candles) at every sit-down meal (and we had a character meal every day!) to free snacks & Mickey straws to a $63.00 gift card, she had a great birthday! We had such a great time, it was so sad to leave when the eight days finally came to an end. Brady very much wants to go back for his birthday in February and I think we're going to do just that! And I think we're going to stay in the new hotel that's opening in August- Disney's Bay Lake Tower at the Contemporary Resort... it'll be very convenient since it's on the monorail and we'll have a view of Cinderella's castle from our room! We can even watch the fireworks from the rooftop deck! February isn't going to come fast enough!
We took TONS of pictures, of course, so I'll have to add them a little at a time. Here are some from our first day there:

Maddie & Brady love their pirate ship bed

When we got there we were starving... Maddie & Brady wanted to go to the T-Rex Cafe for lunch so we headed off to Downtown Disney!

then, after a ride on the Monorail, it was off to the Magic Kingdom so Brady could see the real live Mickey Mouse for the first time!


Lot's (and I mean LOT'S) more pictures... I'll try to add some more tomorrow!
