Originally, I had us doing Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios when Sisty and Granddaddy were there, and the last 2 days at the Magic Kingdom with Nana and Papaw. But that was kinda silly. (That was just how I planned it before we knew everyone was coming) So mid-week, we changed it and did a day at the MK with each. That is what they remember as "Disneyworld" from when we were young, and I'm
so glad they each got to experience it again as grandparents!
Sadly, Nana got a little woozy just out of the gate and spent the rest of the day spinning. I felt so bad, and
should have known better than to put her in a car that had a spinning option and a 5-year-old.
Oh, the spinning...
She'll never look at Buzz Lightyear the same.
Keatyn made a little friend in line... We stood in line for this one (Astro Orbiter) for 20 minutes, even took the elevator up to it. But when I saw how fast it spun, Keatyn and I hauled our happy selves out of there and let the boys go it alone. I learned my lesson from Nana.
Probably Trace's favorite ride of all...the Barnstormer.
Had to do
It's a Small World again (although Trace said it was a ride for girls, because it was nothing but dolls.) He talked Sisty out of it the day they were there and I hate that for her, because I know how much she wanted to see it again. Those grands let him get away with murder.
Meeting
Daffy Donald.
There's a funny behind that one. When we got home from the trip, I put a
few pictures of Facebook and in my "captioning" accidentally called
Donald Duck, Daffy. It was late, I had jet lag ;) and to be honest, I had
no clue what duck that was. Thank goodness, my Facebook stalking
friend Lu sent me this text minutes after...
I was so thankful she cared enough to not let me become the laughing stock of social media.
Friends don't let friends mis-quote Disney characters on Facebook.
(Nanny, I'm sorry I cussed. Jet lag.)
And
then on our way to lunch at The Crystal Palace, we walked right up on the parade. It just keeps getting better! This may have been my most favorite 10 minutes of the whole trip. We videoed Trace dancing, and it was one of those moments mom's talk about where the pure joy of Disney you see on your child face fills your eyes with tears!
Love this one!!! Worth every penny...
Eyeore's coming...Abort, ABORT!!!
Keatyn was alright (sorta) as long as she was being held and on the opposite hip!
She had no idea who was behind her...
After lunch, Nana and Papaw gladly took Sassy back to the hotel and we met back up with Lu and her family.
This was Trace's standard position on the majority of rides...
I'm not kidding...

| Thunder Mountain Railroad. LOVED it! The only one we rode back-to-back. |
Splash Mountain. Notice the old pros in the middle who knew to hold their hats as we plummeted off the ledge. I, on the other hand, raised my hands like an idiot, and lost my visor. Luckily, Kate was right behind me and caught it. Way to go Kate!!!
( I'm not mentioning any names... but look who's sitting next to me holding on ;) Love you honey!
That night it stormed pretty bad so we were stuck in the hotel room. That was the only night we didn't spend at the pool. We finally braved it and ran to the food court for dinner. You could always tell when you walked in that place, what time of day it was. The atmosphere of melting down toddlers, whiny kids, and exhausted parents made it very apparent that everyone was ready for the day to be over!
Off to bed...one more day.
