Keepin' Up With The Jones': Disney 2010-Part 1

With Christmas and me being sick I have found it hard to find the time to post anything...but here goes a post on our trip to Disney.

We left on December 10th and drove to Atlanta to have a before Christmas dinner with my grandmother. Then bright and early on the 11th we headed down to Disney World. It was a smooth trip for the most part...mainly stops to eat and use the restaurant. We arrived at the All Start Music Resort around 5ish and has just enough time to settle in before heading off to Ft. Wilderness for the Hoop-Dee-Do Review. We had a great dinner there while watched a show and then headed back to the room to get a good night's rest before our big day at Hollywood Studios.

We headed to Hollywood Studios that Monday. It was pretty cold so we had to bundle up. Mitch had a blast riding the Aerosmith ride..which he said was the best roller coaster there. We enjoyed some Mickey Mouse shows and a few others before calling it a day and heading back to thaw out.

Tuesday we headed to Epcot. It was REALLY cold that day. But luckily a lot of the stuff we did was in doors and as the day went on the sun warmed things up a bit. We walked around the different countries and had dinner in a great little Italian restaurant. Lawson enjoyed the Figment ride and walking around the area that had lights when u walked on the floor. That night in the American Village they had 3 choirs singing Christmas songs and Steven Curtis Chapman was there telling the Christmas Story, which was really cool. We stood there long enough to hear a little bit but then started to make our way out of the park because we were FREEZING!!!

Wednesday we went to the Magic Kingdom. I think Lawson got the most out of this one because there were rides that he could go on and enjoy. He rode Dumbo, Peter Pan, It's a Small World, the Carousel and some others. Plus there were characters everywhere so he just had fun looking at everything! We stayed till after the park closed because we had reservations at the Royal Table. We had a great dinner there and got to meet 5 princesses....all of which Lawson showed no interest...more interested the roll he was eating! But we had the best seats in the house to watch the fireworks!! We got to see them from the window we were next too...while warm and eating dessert! Who could ask for more!!
