At the Undersea adventure in Epcot

Yum!!

Meeting Lilo and Stitch

Checking out a hippo at Animal Kingdom


Our Disney trip rocked!!!! It would have rocked more if it hadn't been 98* with about 150% humidity, but what are you gonna do? Mason had an awesome time and that's all that really matters.
We did the Magic Kingdom the first day, and that wore that little boy out! The combination of heat and a lot of walking had him ready to go by lunchtime, but we convinced him to hold out a little longer. We made the mistake of not getting the park hopper tickets, so we knew we only had one day at each park and we didn't want him to miss anything. The Magic Kingdom was closing early for "Mickey's not-so-scary Halloween party" (That I did not want to pay an extra $150 to attend) so we had to cram it all in. But we managed to do almost everything, so we don't feel like he missed anything too great. I was disappointed that he didn't get to see the big Spectromagic parade at night, but alas, you win some, you lose some.
We did Epcot the next day, and I think that was everyone's favorite. It's very laid back compared to the Magic Kingdom and the crowds were better. Plus, there are a lot of interactive things for kids, so Mason had a lot of fun. We left Epcot early afternoon and went back to the hotel for lunch and swimming. Then we went back to the park in the evening for the fireworks, which were spectacular. Disney sho' nuff knows how to put on a show!
The third day was the Animal Kingdom, which was my least favorite. It had a few cool things, but I thought a lot of it was kind of lame and boring. Although, that day was by far the hottest and most humid, and we were all quite tired, so I'm sure that had a lot to do with it! We did enjoy the safari ride, and we saw an incredible "Finding Nemo" show, but I think when the twins are old enough to go, we'll skip Animal Kingdom and go to Universal Studios instead. And we'll go in November when temperatures are better!
