Picture Overview of WDW!

Day 1 Monday - we arrived late (around 5:30 or so) to our hotel. While checking in, we ran into Kevin's family! We got to our room and relaxed for a little bit before heading to Downtown Disney. We made reservations at a new restaurant: T-Rex. Very neat themed restaurant (a lot like Rainforest Cafe).

In the restaurant they had an area where you could build your own dinosaur (just like Build-a-Bear). So Blake got to make his very own dinosaur!



He was very excited about his green dinosaur (just like Caillou!)


Day 2 Tuesday - Off to Hollywood Studios! First up was Toy Story Midway Mania and meeting Woody and Buzz. Blake wasn't so sure of Buzz but he loved Woody!


We also stopped and played in the Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground. Blake had a blast there. He didn't want to leave!

It rained - HARD - while we were at the park. Thankfully we brought along a poncho to keep Blake covered. We used it quite often during our trip!


Day 3 Wednesday - Off to Epcot!

One of the first rides we went on was Test Track. While we were on it I believe it started raining so they stopped the ride. We took some pictures while we were sitting there waiting for it to begin again.


Blake's favorite place!! (he especially loved the seagulls on the left - every now and then they would start yelling - "Mine, Mine, Mine!"

Taking a nap in England :)

Family picture with the golf ball in the background!

Day 4 Thursday - We woke up to find these birds right outside our door.

Blake slept right through all the noise those birds were making. He was exhausted!


Today we went to the Magic Kingdom. We waited in all sorts of lines. And in one I managed to capture this picture of Blake. So sweet!


Blake got to drive at car at Tomorrowland Speedway! He loved it!


Day 5 Friday - Animal Kingdom! The Tree of Life:


We made reservations at the Tusker House so we could meet a bunch of characters. We met Donald, Mickey, Daisy and Goofy. Blake thought it was so cool :)



We also met a few characters while walking through the park.


Blake got a kick out of this tiger when we were at Rafiki's Planet Watch.


And it was so neat to see this hippo up close!


A picture of Mt. Everest!


Since Animal Kingdom closed at 5 - we made our way over to the Magic Kingdom to enjoy the rest of the evening.


Blake went on Peter Pan's Flight with Randy and Linda.


Pam, Blake and I went on the Tea Cups. Nobody else wanted to join us :( Too scared of getting motion sickness. We didn't spin much at all though. It was fun!


Day 6 Saturday - Another day at Epcot! We made a stop in Norway. It's not Sweden but close enough!


Blake and I took a picture with the giant Troll. We also picked up some Swedish Fish and Anna's cookies. Yummy!


After walking around Epcot and going on a bunch of rides, we made our way to Fantasia Gardens. Shawn, Pam, Kevin, Blake and I all played miniature golf. It was fun! And Blake got his very first hole in 1!! (seriously - we didn't help him at all!)




Day 7 Sunday - Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Magic Kingdom (good thing we bought the park hopper!) We went back to Animal Kingdom to check out Dinoland USA. Blake loved seeing all the dinosaurs and going on some of the rides.

After Animal Kingdom - it was off to Magic Kingdom and Mickey's Toontown Fair. We didn't stand in any lines to visit characters but we did stand in line to go on Goofy's Barnstormer Rollercoaster. Blake was tall enough for this ride! He thought it was pretty neat!

Back to Epcot for dinner! Before we ate dinner we stopped at Innoventions. And both Kevin and I were able to ride Segways!!! It was so neat!! I wanted to go again but we had to get to our dinner reservation.

After dinner we stopped to give Dory a kiss. Blake loves Dory!

This is just a sampling of all the pictures we took while on vacation. We had a lot of fun!
