Disney Trip Day 7 {Animal Kingdom}

Thursday, January 4th~

We were all so excited to see the new Pandora area at Animal Kingdom. Since you can only get fastpasses for one of the Avatar rides, Alex and the 3 older girls got up early to be at the park before it opened to get in line for the ride, Flight of Passage.

7:15am and on their way!

Even arriving before the park opened, they waited about 2 hours to ride it! Thankfully, Alex was able to get a Rider Switch card (for parents with small children) for me to ride with him later. The ride was AMAZING!! 

Meanwhile, Beilyn and Bria slept in a little and we arrived at the park a little after 9am.

Beilyn loves maps!

Arriving in Pandora

Bria was a little unsure of the sounds and scenery in Pandora.

On the safari. We look like a bunch of bank robbers. 😆

After lunch, we went to the Lion King show. Brynna was chosen as one the dancers to run around the stage during "Circle of Life."

It was cold, yet dad still bought them ice cream and a popsicle. 😄

Ready for the Rivers of Light show

Light show on the Tree of Life was a great ending to an amazing day!

Disney Trip Day 6 {Rest Day at Fort Wilderness}

Wednesday, January 3rd ~

It rained throughout the morning so we decided to stay at the campground all day and extend our trip an extra day. Our campsite was directly across from the bath house and laundry facilities, which made it convenient to get a little laundry done while the girls read and watched a movie. After lunch, we walked around the campgrounds and found a playground. That evening, we played Disney Candyland and tried to get to bed early...that is until the heater kicked off. We were out of LP gas! Who would have ever guessed we would be running the heater while in Florida? No gas place was open at that hour, so we drove to Walmart to buy a space heater.  All we could do was laugh about it! (Brynna, Brielle, and Beilyn slept through the whole ordeal and had no idea we had ever left the campgrounds! ha!)

Miss Sassy Pants Twistybutt in action. She's such a fun kid.

(Beilyn saying "Mom" repeatedly is just part of living with Beilyn. 😉)

Disney Trip Day 5 {Epcot}

Tuesday, January 2nd ~

We knew the temps were going to be cooler than normal, but the forecast was still calling for mid to upper 60s for the week when we left home. The arctic blast ended up being worse than predicted! So much for any of the cute outfits we packed. 😕 We just piled on the layers and resorted to buying overpriced black toboggans to stay warm when the sun went down! We have been at Disney when it was 101* and now as cold as the 30s, and we still had a blast regardless!

We started our morning riding Nemo's ride and then had breakfast reservations at Akershus in Norway. We loved eating there on our last visit, and it did not disappoint this time either! (We prefer it over Cinderella's Royal Table at the castle.)

Walking in the Princess Processional

Throwing snowballs with Anna

Mulan was asking Bria if she's the boss. If she only knew... 😄

Brynna was trying to avoid getting wet.

Beilyn used her gift card to buy a Frozen toy all by herself.

Trying the Coca~Cola products from around the world at Club Cool.
Brielle gagged right after this picture. ha!

She liked the pineapple soda.

Beilyn's 1st time riding Soarin'. She said she loved "all it!"

Time for churros while we wait for the fireworks show!
