Where all your dreams come true!

This year we decided to give our kiddos memories rather than more stuff. Jeff and I told the kids that instead of presents we were going to take a family trip to Disneyworld this year. I found an awesome deal where we stayed on Disney property, had tickets to the theme parks for 6 days, and a free dining plan at Disney. It was the way to do a trip to Disney. When we go again, I am going to make sure to try to find a time where they are offering the free Dining plan. It was totally worth it. It was nice not to have to worry about food or how much we were spending on food. We took the girls out of school for a week and headed to Disney December 12-17. It was so much fun. Bayley had to write a report for school so that is what I am going to use to detail what we did while we were there. The pictures will tell the rest of the story.
My Trip to Disneyworld
The first thing I want to say is that it was very educational. Epcot was the most educational. It had all the worlds. We went to all the Disney parks ,there is Epcot,Disney world, Magic kigdom,Animal kingdom, and Hollywood studios. I am going to demonstrate all the different ways to log the thing that you do. Like one might be in a diary form and another might be in a story form.
Now a little info on my trip.
I spent 5 nights and 6 days.
I had $15.00 to spent.
I stayed at port Orleans-riverside.
I went to all the parks including downtown Disney.
I went to the pool {story on the lower half of the page}
The story of my brother getting lost.
I went from Monday -Saturday.
The story of my brother being lost at Epcot … I guess It started when we passed mouse gear .Mom told us after we rode mission space we could trade Vinylmations at Mouse gear. Then we went on mission space and we were playing in the fun room and I went to the shop and they traded vinymations so I told mom and she told us all that we should go trade. Trey thought that we meant at Mouse gear. We found him or the park members found him at the sea attractions area. It took only 5 minutes, but mom ,I think felt like it took eternity.

I woke up to the sound of crying. I quickly got into the shower and got dressed. After everyone got dressed we went to the car to go to Animal Kingdom. We rode the tram to the gates. Mom checked us in and got our tickets. We went in and headed to Asia to ride mount Everest. We walked right on. When we took off Kendal was shaking. When we got to the part were you go backwards she started to cry until the ride stopped. Me and my brother Trey went on it again. It was awesome……NO SUPERDUPER AWESOME. Then we went on the river rafting. Dad got wet like he had just been swimming in his clothes. Then we went on a bunch of walking tours, that had a bunch a of animals. We got to see tons of fish, monkeys, lions, prairie dogs, tigers, lots of birds,rhinoserous,hippos,antelopes,zebras,giraffes,ostriches,bats,snakes,and the one the only the……….SQUIRREL.Adison loved squirrels, and we saw tones of them.
