Epcot/Hollywood Studios

Yes the title is correct!  We did both parks in one day.  Food and Wine Festival by day and Hollywood by night!  The pictures will be posted at the end of this post.  We did Epcot during the day.  We didn't really do any tastings.  Although I did do the Mexico food cart and had the trio.  It was delicioso!  We had quite and adventure...We did the Seas with Nemo in the morning and then went "around"the world. As we were ending our trip "around" the world my 3 year old decided to escape his stroller without us knowing while I was checking out in a shop.  How he did it I will NEVER know.  What I do know is we found him...While I was talking with a cast member who was getting a search party dispatched I had my husband go back to the last place we were at because my mommy instinct told me to...He was there.  Thankfully another mother had found him and was about to take him to a cast member to be reunited with us...He ran to his daddy and when he saw me he wouldn't let me go.  He now understood why I had the rule to not get out of the stroller and to hold mommy or daddy's hand if he did get out.  I still don;t know how he got from Mexico to Norway all on his own that quickly.  He listened to us the rest of the trip.  We went into the Mexico pavilion to get some treats after our scare.  Afterward we went and ate lunch.  We then rode test track!  FUN!  Then we went to club cool and tasted the drinks.  Some were great other not so much.  Afterward my mom went back to the hotel.  The rest of us went to ride Soarin'!  I could ride this multiple times...it was so fun!  We then decided to go to Hollywood Studios on the boat.  This was an awesome idea!  We had dinner right next to Star Tours and then went and rode it.  It was fun...My dd almost got sick but she hung in there like a trooper.  Afterward we went to ride Toy Story Mania.  The kid's laughs and giggles were the best!  We had so much fun!!!!!!  If I would have been paying attention to the signs we would have went to see the Spectacle of Lights, but I was so tired I didn't even notice them...

Animal Kingdom!!!!

This post and the next few are LATE!  I know...Life got in the way (see previous post).  Animal Kingdom was FUN!  We had fast passes for The Lion King musical...Unfortunately,  it was shut down for the day because the sound system went down...We then went to ride Kilimanjaro Safaris.  The kids LOVED it.
We then went to have lunch afterward....We ate at Flame Tree BBQ...It was delicious.  Afterward we went to The Bug's Life show and got in on our fast pass they gave us for The Lion King being down.

 The kids had forgotten about the effects...LOL...Let's just say I had a good laugh between their reaction and their dad's.  After this we went to watch the Finding Nemo musical.  It was the cutest thing EVER!  We are huge Nemo fans here...It really is an awesome show and well done.   You can tell the cast really cares about their jobs with this show.  We then headed toward Kali River Rapids.  Along the way we stopped at Expedition Everest so my hubby and his baby brother could ride, since we still had time for our fast passes.

They are the 2nd row.  You can;t tell but my my husband really did enjoy it....

We had to wait around about another 10 minutes  til our fast pass time.  

This is how they waited....Finally we went to ride....My younger 2 and my mom opted out so we used their fast passes and rode twice!  The first time I got off and I was dry...Not after the 2nd time!  I was SOAKED!  

Wearing their pjs we got them at AK

  

Busy!

Ahh....life, it gets in the way, things happen, and you just get busy!  I know I need to finish our Disney trip posts....I will....and hopefully soon...Homeschooling got in the way and then Thanksgiving happened...For a week before Thanksgiving I started having breathing troubles....My asthma has returned...I occasionally would have a mild attack and my albuterol would help...Well, I thought it was helping til Thanksgiving night after Black Friday shopping.  My husband and family made me go to the E.R.  I am thankful they did...I had too have 2 different breathing treatments 2 times and I was put on steroids for 5 days.  Thankfully I have been doing good since...I have no idea what triggered it.  Then Christmas came.  We had so much fun and had a picnic under the tree and read stories around it.  I also, with the help of my dad, made my daughter a doll house.  We came up with a plan and bought the supplies.  He built it and I painted it and decorated the insides.  Its still a huge hit!  We also had 4 birthdays in between Dec 22 and Jan 24!  I will be updating things and getting it all put here...
