Disney World

Well, we had a wonderful time at Disney World. Caroline had a blast. be prepared for a long post and updates to follow cause I may get tired of typing tonight. We took many many pictues so this is just some of them. I will post more later and maybe a video of Caroline riding Big Thunder Mountain.

Day 1:
One of the very first rides that we went on was the Teacups (of course you have to ride them when you go). Caroline loved it! Chuck can get them spinning so fast that you feel as though you are in a centrifuge. We also discovered that Caroline loves roller coasters. We rode Thunder Mountain about 4 or 5 times. We also rode the Teacups about 5 times. The Mickey Orchestra 3D show featuring Donald Duck was really good.
Day 2 (Tuesday):
We went to Epcot Center in the morning. Caroline was a little cranky so this day didn't go as planned. We had lunch in China. We got pictures of Donald in Mexico. About the only real thing we ended up doing at Epcot was get pictures with Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, the Chipmonks and Pluto.
After Epcot we went back to take a nap and then got back up to go to Magic Kingdom again. Caroline was a different child. We went to Cinderella's Castle to meet Cinderella and have dinner in the Castle. It was beautiful. Caroline also go to meet the mice and the Fairy Godmother. I think that this dinner was one of the highlights of her trip. After dinner, we went to meet Belle, Aurora and Cinderella again. There were also more rides to ride...Pooh ride, Peter Pan, etc.
We also caught the light parade this night.
Day 3 :
This day we had breakfast with Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Donald at "Chef Mickey's" in our Hotel, the Contemporary. It was an early breakfast at 7:00 AM but that was the only time available.
After that we went to Animal Kingdom. We enjoyed the Safari and much to my surprise, Caroline sat through an entire 40 minute Nemo show and loved it.
Again, we took a nap in the afternoon and then went back to Magic Kingdom that night.
Day 4:
This day we went to Holloywood Studios in the morning after Breakfast. Chuck got to meet Handy Manny which was on his list of things to do. We also caught another 3D show and had lunch.
After naptime, we went back to Magic Kingdom for more rides (Thunder Mountain again) and dinner with Pooh, Tigger, Piglet and Eiore.
Nighttime was definitely better for Caroline's disposition and we had a great time.
Day 5 (July 4th):
This day we decided to spend the entire day at Magic Kingdom again. We also stayed up late again and watched the fireworks. They were beautiful and the castle was lit up with Patriotic emblems.
Well, I will try to update more when I get a chance, but at least this is a synopsis of what occured.
