The Disney World Experience

Well we just got back from Disney today. We had a good time and did and saw most of the "must see" attractions. We had a lot of great dinners and did a lot of walking it off through the parks. There was more than enough things and events to keep us busy and going all the time if we wanted.

I guess I was thinking since we weren't going to being doing all the crazy roller coasters and alike that our trip would be more laid back, calm and allow us to take in the "magic" as they like to call it, of Disney. It took us a couple of days to figure out how to do Disney our way and let it be more relaxing. It is easy to get caught up in the do as much as you can in one day mentality. We did get a chance to go to all of the parks and see plenty even though we did not manage to see it all.

Here is how we customized our trip:

1. We would go to a park in the morning and stay for only a few hours. Ride a few rides, see a few shows and then get out of there! It gets more and more crowded as the day went on and that many people can be overwhelming!

2. We also found a pool we liked and laid in the sunshine in the afternoons. In the hottest hours of the day we would go back to resort and soak up some rays or catch a cat nap.

3. We would head back to the park in the evening to make our dinner reservation or to see a late night parade. Traveling around on the Disney resort can be a job depending on where your resort was so we would always allow at least 45 minutes for the transfer from one place to another.

4. We found fun in the small things! We were among the only ones there not with kids so we tried to take advantage of being silly and making our own schedule.


On a side note...baby also enjoyed his first trip to Disney. He is a movin' little guy now. He did plenty of step aerobics in my tummy while I did the walking this week. His kicks are getting stronger and more regular.
Eric with his twin. A very customized Mr. Potato head!

Little Baby Bump

I really can't believe how fast the weeks are passing now. They seems to be flying by. School is going good and we keep creeping closer and closer to spring break and Disney World! My belly is starting to fill out my first set of maternity clothes and it is becoming more obvious that I am pregnant. Here a couple of pictures of our baby growing!



I am still feeling fine besides my increasing hunger and need to snack in the mornings. I have a 9:00- 9:30 bedtime now also.


I just thank the Lord that everything is going so smoothly. I am loving being pregnant and the miracle that is growing inside of me.
