Walt Disney World

We took Declan to Disney World's Magic Kingdom, it was so fun to see his face light up! It was so much fun! He is a little young to understand the concept of waiting in lines, so that was a bit of a challenge, but I wanted to go while we still had just one :-) It's such an incredible place for kids, I wish we lived closer and could go often. A three hour drive is still a little much for a kid that doesn't nap in the car.

We drove up on a Tuesday and arrived at 3pm. We stayed in the Lake Buena Vista area just a few blocks from Downtown Disney. Our Concierge suggested we go to the T-Rex restaurant to eat. It was so cool. It's a prehistoric atmosphere and the dinosaurs were animatronic, Declan loved seeing them move around.

 After we ate we walked around the Lego Store.

One of Declan's favorite- Buzz Lightyear!

Petting the Lego dogs, he even tried to ride one

Then we decided to go to Magic Kingdom and spend the evening there.

Declan and Donal's first time seeing Cinderella's castle

Since it was night time, we decided to do pirates of the Carribbean- which he loved, then the haunted house- scared him a little, and then we jumped on the people mover.

Then we caught the fireworks show.

After the fireworks, we were near space mountain. And since Donal had never been, I told him to do the roller coaster ride and Declan and I would ride the people mover again. But on our way to the people mover, a concert started on stage. It was  a concert with Chip and Dale, Goofy and Pluto. Declan had the time of his life. Donal met us shortly after as the lines for rides were short. Declan  danced for almost an hour. I thought he was gonna get scouted for the mickey mouse club, as he has great dance moves and a lot of eyes were on him. The concert ended with snow!

We arrived back at the park the next day at noon. We caught a parade as we were coming in. Then went over to the Buzz Lightyear Spin ride. Declan loved it and so did we, it was pretty cool! Then off to Fantasy Land. We rode the Carousel, twice! Declan did not want to get off, we had to peel him away.

Then we went on It's a Small World, Declan enjoyed going through all the different countries by boat. Donal's favorite one was Ireland! Then it was off to the Bear's Jamboree! A cute stage show with redneck bears jamming out. On our way out we caught another parade. I could barely contain Declan he wanted to run up to the characters, he was so excited, after about 10 minutes he relaxed and sat back and enjoyed the parade.

Our next stop was the Disney World Railroad that takes you around the park, when we happened upon Winnie the Pooh and Tigger! The line was short so we decided to wait. Well Declan could not wait his turn, he was crying and so eager to meet them. But it was so worth the wait. Pooh bear got down on one knee for him and Declan gave them big hugs and kisses- it was the most adorable thing!
