Christmas @ Disney World

Santa's Surprise!

At Thanksgiving after staying the night with my cousin and her family our boys received a huge package postmarked the North Pole.  The boys opened the package and found a large mickey mouse balloon with a note attached to the bottom.  The note told them that Santa was looking forward to seeing them at Mickey Mouse's House at Christmas this year.  After some deep thought L put it all together and realized that this meant they would be going to Disney World for Christmas.  Needless to say all three boys were quite excited! 

To top this off when the boys visited Santa at the mall he told them how excited he was to visit them in a few weeks at Disney.

The boys waited and waited for the letter from Santa about what we would be doing on our trip and finally, the day we were set to leave A. found a letter in our Christmas Tree.  Here is the photos that tell the story of what it said.

Day 1:  Adventures in Epcot!


The boys worked hard to help Perry the Platypus from "Phineas and Ferb" stop Dr. D's evil plans all through the world showcase.


Santa planned for us to have dinner at the Coral Reef.  Disney does such a fantastic job with allergies.  Do you think A. was excited to have a brownie!!





Crush's Adventure was as fun as ever 
followed by a quick stop at the shark.
We ended our evening at Epcot with an AMAZING Candlelight Christmas performance hosted by Trace Adkins.  It was like Christmas Eve Services Walt Disney Style.  So beautiful and wonderful to see thousands hearing the story of Jesus' birth and the real meaning behind Christmas.  A. was singing along at the top of his lungs to each Christmas carol.  

Day 2: Magical Moments

     We hit the Magical Kingdom early and had a wonderful day.  The longest line we waited in was 10 minutes to drive the cars.  Gotta love those fast passes!  The Very Merry Christmas Parade was wonderful but this years big hit is the new interactive adventure called Sorcerer's of the Magic Kingdom.  The boys LOVE this.  Basically they travel through 4 different parts of the Magic Kingdom in search of the bad guys where they they cast magic spells on them using special cards they collected upon entry to the park.  Be looking for future posts about this because they are definitely coming back for more of this fun later this week. 
Be careful people L. is behind the wheel!
They took the win AGAIN!

The one and only time these 2 are ever behind bars. 




Honey for Pooh!

Silly Tigger drank A. lemonade and tried to eat his ice cream.             

Our allergy guys LOVE the food at Disney!

Riding Dumbo in the Green one!

Do you think he is tired??





Day 3: Hollywood Stars

Today started with breakfast with the stars of Disney Junior.  Little, Little loves the characters and they love him!  The boys has wonderful adventures today from Indiana Jones to high speed races!  Their hollywood moments came when they entered Jedi training and took on Darth Vader and Darth Mal!





Day 4:  Merry Christmas!!

Today was basically a normal Christmas, just away from home.  Our boys woke up at a decent time, played all day, watched some Christmas movies, called our families, and had a pajama day!!!  We hope you each have enjoyed your family and friends today and will share more adventures as we have them.
