We started out Sunday flying from O'Hare directly to Orlando. Since both Orlando and O'Hare use a train to get to ground transportation the girls got to ride a car, train, plane, train, and bus all in one day. If only we could have worked a boat ride in there they could have covered all the bases.
We stayed at a hotel in the Animal Kingdom. The rooms surrounded a safari area so you could look out and see some animals, it was pretty cool.
Sharing a room with the girls is an adventure in and of itself. I discovered that sometimes Nora get's up 4 times between 2-3am to use the bathroom, which wouldn't be too bad if she was tall enough to turn on the bathroom faucet. Another time I woke up to the sounds of, 'Abby you have to get off me!', when I went over and picked Abby off of Nora I got a very sleepy reprimand, 'You can't move me, you put me down!'.
We spent the first day at the Magic Kingdom. We started with breakfast at Belle's castle and then headed over to the Dumbo ride. I think the girls had at least as much fun playing on in the water outside of the Dumbo ride as they did anywhere else.
Maybe the best waiting line ever.
Later we met Minnie, Daisy, Ariel, and Belle. Story time with Belle took us up to the evening light parade so we watched that before we went home.
We spent the second day at the Animal Kingdom. In the morning we went on a safari and rode one of those giant raft rides. Abby was a little nervous before hand but she pulled it together as the raft was climbing the first big hill. As she was telling me how this wasn't so bad after all it occurred to me that it had never occurred to her why our raft was going up such a big hill. She figured it out.
After all that we watched a Finding Nemo production and then the girls got to excevate some french fries for lunch.
In the evening we did some character dining, I was surprised how much of a kick the girls got out of it. By the end of the day Nora was spent.
For our third day we went back to the Magic Kingdom. We tried to see a few new things and visit a few of the girls favorites again. In terms of new activities we rode our first coaster - BarnStormer, watched a parade, and met Cinderella and Rapunzel.
Honestly we had a great vacation. I can't remember the last time we all had so much fun together.
