Disney World!!!

Well! We've been home for two weeks now, and I'm finally blogging about our trip to Disneyworld! I had WAAAAY to many pictures to choose from, so I went a little picture crazy.... SO! Here we go!

On the first day, we left our house on the Blue Bird Express (aka- Tyler's grandma's gigantic blue bus of a van) Somehow we managed to pile 9 people and 400 pounds of luggage in that thing! We safely made it to Florida, and checked into the All Star Sports hotel in Disneyworld! What a hotel... Tyler loved it! To get into our hotel we had to walk through a big football field with X's and O's. To get to our room we had to walk through that giant football helmet! Tyler was in football heaven :)
 


Our first day we went to the magic kingdom, or also known as Disneyland! The only big difference between land vs. world is the castle! Wow! The castle in Disneyworld is Cinderella's castle, and its HUGE! The rides are different too- slightly different tracks and stuff. I don't think that splash mountain or pirates of the Caribbean were as fun as they are in Disneyland.

In the bottom picture, Kenzie and I are drinking tea because we are on the tea cups!
 


The next day we went to Hollywood Studios. The best rides there are Tower of Terror and Rockin Roller coaster. The roller coaster blasts you off from 0 to 60 in like 2.8 seconds! Its crazy fast! That day we ate at a restaurant that was like a drive in movie theater. The tables are in cars and there's strange old movie clips playing on the screen. Also at Hollywood studios there is a cool car stunt show- that's the picture of the big fireball explosion!

 

Top left picture: yes I did go to San Fransisco when we were in Florida...

Day three we went to Epcot, the one with the big golf ball! That one was pretty cool- there weren't a whole lot of rides there, we mostly just traveled around the world!
Here, Tyler had a "magical moment", one of the people working in one of the gift shops asked Tyler if he knew all the flags that she showed him, and Tyler being really smart got all of them right. So Tyler was presented with an authentic Disney certificate!

All in one day we traveled to Morocco, Japan, China, Mexico, Canada, the United Kingdom, Italy, Norway, Brazil, France and Germany!
 

The fourth day we went to the Animal Kingdom! The best part about that park was the animal safari! It was really cool because it looked just like we were out in the wild! Also in that park was the world's worst river rapid ride! The ride was extremely short, with only one drop. But that drop was one crazy drop! Because we were on the side that went down first we had a tidal wave go over our heads! When we got off that ride it looked like we had jumped in a swimming pool! We were soaked the whole entire day!!
 


The fifth day we went to Blizzard Beach, one of the water parks out there. It was the perfect weather for it, and it was hardly crowded too! The craziest part of the park was the Summit Plummit, the largest water slide in America! It was so scary! They had a speedometer down at the bottom to see how fast you were going. So Tyler went down first on got to 55 mph, and then I went down and got up to 63 MPH!!! OI! That is pretty dang fast! The ride seriously only lasted 2 seconds!

The last day Tyler and I made sure that we went to every single park. The whole entire time we didn't have any crowds at all, we practically walked onto all the rides! But Saturday it was actually pretty crowded.

Then the next day we flew home! So there you have our trip condensed into one long blog :)
