Disney World 2010 Part 7

 I know seriously "Part 7"? It was a 10 day trip! Really I think this is the last post. On Thursday we went to the Magic Kingdom! We had a ton of fun in Tomorrow Land! Space Mountain was a blast. I have not been able to ride on space mountain our last 2 Disney trips because I was either pregnant or had to many little kids with me that couldn't go.

On Friday we went to Disney Hollywood Studios, previously known as MGM. Here we of course had to his star tours for all you Star Wars fans. The ride was actually closing the next day for either updating I think so we were glad we were able to take one last trip into space.

Brock made his own custom light saber. He loves his new double light saber with a blue and green end, light, sound effects and he can take it apart and re build it in different ways.

 We also had lunch at Pizza Planet.  Today we got a little bit of rain, Florida style which means it is warm like bath water and you get just as wet as you would if you showered with your cloths on.  Mikele and I went on the Tower of Terror!!! Loved it! We also rode my probably tied for 1st favorite ride. Rock 'n' Roller Coaster staring Aerosmith. We buckled into our majorly stretched limo then went speeding through LA rocking out to Aerosmith while we corkscrewed, looped and experienced 5G speeds.  This was Brock's first rollercoaster that looped and he LOVED IT!

Finally if you ever go to Disney Studios be sure to run over and get your fast passes for the 3-D Toy story ride.  It is kind of like the Buzz Light Year ride but BETTER!  You are in an arcade and shooting paint balls to rack up points. Fast Passes go fast and are usually gone by 11:00 so zip over first thing.


The kids by this point were exhausted! We would get them up for a big breakfast, pack our lunch and get in the car to drive the 20 minutes to the park. The girls would fall asleep on the way there then we would wake them up again and play all day long.  At the end of the day we would load them back into the car, they would all fall asleep except for Brock the die hard and then carry them to their beds.

On Saturday our flight didn't leave until 5:30 (then it was delayed and didn't leave until 7:00) so we went back to the Magic Kingdom to catch a few things we missed on Thursday.  We even ran into this famous pirate. . .

Brock and Mikele are now officially pirates! We also took a photo opp with this charming couple. . .

Our flight home went smoothly except for the departure delay.  We still were able to make our connecting flight from Atlanta to Salt Lake City and the kids all slept for almost the entire flight.  We arrived in Salt Lake around 11:30 so by the time we got our luggage, shuttled to the park and ride, stopped for a bathroom break and drove home it was close to 2:30 am.  So we sluffed church and slept in.

We did learn a few things about our kids on this trip.

1. Brock will try all the rides once. I don't think he saw much of the rides because in all the pictures they take on the rides he had his eyes squeezed shut.
2. Mikele is a die hard thrill seeker.  She would go on all the rides, love them and go again.
3. Kassie is seriously addicted to milk! She did much better emotionally if we froze a water bottle full of milk the night before and brought with us just for her to drink through out the day. Kassie also does not like dark or 3D rides.  She also is scared of the experience rides.  What I mean by that is if the ride was setting a scene or telling a story she did not like it!  She did like rides that were just that, a ride. Her favorite rides at the Magic Kingdom were Thunder Mountain and the Tomorrow Land speed way.
4. Allie can handle only so much heat.  By the last day she was done. I think she had had enough of the humidity and heat and was ready to return to the drier climate of home.

This was a huge and wonderful trip for our entire family. It is sad that after almost 2 years of planning that it is over but I am sure with appropriate scrapbooking and blogging we will keep the memories alive for a life time.
