Searching for Gators; November 12

Wild Florida

We went to Wild Florida to look for alligators. We road on an air-boat across the marshlands to try and spot one. The weather wasn't the best to find an alligator, but we did see one alligator head sticking out of the water. We then enjoyed walking around looking at the other animals at Wild Florida. It was a fun day of exploration!

Hailey doesn't like the birds...

Epcot; November 11

EPCOT

I don't feel like we experienced Epcot to its fullest potential. The day we chose to go was also the Wine Festival, which made for an extremely crowded park. We enjoyed the rides in Epcot, but we missed out on the Tour of the Worlds. It was just too congested that we decided to skip out. 

My favorite ride in Epcot was the Frozen Ever After ride. I also loved Soaring. Although we didn't stay as long as we had hoped, we had a great time in Epcot!

Hailey always seems to get the best hugs from characters.  Maybe its because she is a character deep down!

Magic Kingdom; November 10

Magic Kingdom

We had a fabulous day at the Magic Kingdom. We hit all of our favorite rides: Splash Mountain, & Space Mountain..., Jake got to learn how to fight from Captain Jack Sparrow. We even stayed a bit longer for Mickey's Very Merry  Christmas Party.

Jake is cracking me up!

Captain Jack Sparrow

Jack was so excited to be chosen to fight with Captain Jack Sparrow. I knew he would like to do it, so I told him to go stand with the kids in the front and excitedly raise his hand. It worked. He was picked, and he had a blast doing it!

 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party

We debated as to whether or not we should spend the extra money to attend Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, but in the end, we decided to do it, and I am so glad we did! For the party, you are given a special wrist band. If you do not have one, you are excused from the park. The lines were shorter; there was hot chocolate, cookies and cider; awesome fireworks; parades; and, amazing characters! Our kids had a blast! It was Amber's favorite experience at Disney!

The Seven Dwarves was Definitely a Highlight

We didn't have to wait to go on Space Mountain
