Yay! I have been trying all week to get our Disney pictures uploaded - my computer and blogger have finally started working together! Here are our Disney Pictures.
We planned our Disney vacation in just about a week, and it was FABulous. Nicole - one of my favorite people on the planet, and a BFF from the high school days works for Disney and got us free tickets into the parks and a super amazing discount on Disney resorts. I'm pretty sure we couldn't have planned this trip any faster or any cheaper. We weren't Disney fanatics before the trip, but now, we LOVE that place and would gladly move there for the rest of our lives.
We did a four day trip down to Orlando, I'll post the quick version ...Day 1 - A visit with Paul's grandparents and aunt & uncle in Ocala, FL and a late birthday party for Mary. On to Disney World to check into our resort, take a river boat ride to Downtown Disney for shopping, dinner, playing in the fountains, and Nicole.
Day 2 - Swimming at 7:00am in the HOT November weather. Then a day at the Animal Kingdom with a safari ride, plenty of shows, and lots of animals. I love that place. We left Orlando that evening to watch the shuttle launch in Cape Canaveral. A night on the beach watching the shuttle launch = Paul's dream come true.
Day 3 - Another early swim, and then breakfast at Chef Mickey's with all the Disney Characters. Then off the a full day at the Magic Kingdom for Paul's birthday with Aunt Nicole! We rode everything we wanted to ride and even some things we didn't (didn't know the Snow White ride is actually terrifying). Saw the Christmas decorations, the parades, the fireworks show, and were exhausted by the time the park closed at 11:00pm. I would gladly do it all again!
Day 4 - A great breakfast and a long walk around the resort property since we were completely sad to be leaving Disney so soon. Then back to Ocala, for a birthday party for Paul! A fun visit with Nanny and Papaw and then back to Athens for a LATE night drive.
Talk about a busy trip - we were wiped out by the end of every day, but it was really just too much fun to sit still =). We now are now in love with Disney World.

Wow! Everyone needs a connection like that. Disney World has never seemed exciting for me but your pictures got me all warm and fuzzy inside maybe I should reconsider!
Think your friend can hook us up with a Disney Cruise, lol?
Wow ... sounds like you guys had a great time ... and all packed in so fast!
Sarah these pictures make me sad! I miss you and the world's heaviest 2 year old!
(and Paul too, of course!)
P.S. Laura there is a great deal on Disney cruises right now. If you book by Dec. 15 for a cruise Jan-April (I think?), you get another cruise for $99 in the spring. More details:

Adrienne really likes that Mary is enjoying her Micky Mouse ice cream. She has asked to look at your pictures several times. She said "that baby is sooo cuuuute."
