Ever try to take 23 people to Disney and stay together? It's not impossible, you just have to remember that a crowd of that size does not move quickly. It was a very fun day and a great time to catch up with family that we have not seen in a long time. Thanks to Mimi and Papa's hard work last year we each got a free ticket into the park.
Pawpaw and the girls waiting outside the hotel in Orlando. I make my group wear the same color shirts when we go to large public places. Makes them easier to keep up with.
The whole gang
All of my girls have been initiated onto Roller Coasters via Space Mountain at Disney. Gracie was no exception and rode her first coaster like a pro. She even rode Thunder Mountain later in the day. I'm afraid she's been bitten by the roller coaster bug. Now she cannot wait until Six Flags opens in the Spring here in VA. One of the perks of having four kids who all ride roller coasters- everyone has a riding buddy.
Here we are waiting to get in to see the Philharmagic show. Very cool multisensory show done in Disney fashion. I think we look a little like we are on some sort of Sci-Fi expedition. The camera was set to take photos in the dark which sometimes gives the photo an eerie look.
Our crew managed to cram into one boat to float through Small World. Poor papa, he hates this ride and we drag him onto it EVERY time we go.
The Pirate Crew. Disney has tried to revamp the Pirates of the Caribbean ride by adding Captain Jack and a few touches from the movie. WE used to be able to walk onto this ride with very little wait. Now with Captain Jack added we had to wait about 30 minutes. That's ok- I guess it wouldn't be a true Disney experience without the waits.
The end of the day and we are pooped. It was a great day and we are looking forward to doing it all again next year. I suggest Universal's Islands of Adventure. Any takers? All of our Disney pics can be seen in the Picasa web album. Enjoy!
