More Florida Fun!

Day 5 4/17/08
Today we went to the Magic Kindgom. It was a very hot and sunny day! We all got a little color in our faces as we stood in the long lines! There were TONS of people there. We expected that though being April and school vacation for many families all over the country! In spite of the long lines Anneli (and Christopher too!) was able to see Cinderella's castle, meet Ariel as a Mermaid or as she called her Ariel with "no feet", meet Mickey and Minnie, see Donald Duck again, meet Pluto and Goofy and go on a few rides and see some shows. It was so crowded there at the Magic Kingdom, that we park hopped to Disney's Hollywood Studios. We got there just in time for supper and then we saw the Voyage of the Little Mermaid show. Anneli LOVED it, even though Ursula was there! (The mean octopus!) It was fun watching her little face watch so intently! We couldn't do much else because it was getting late and we went and got our seats for the nightly Fantasmic! show. It was great! Anneli and Christopher both enjoyed it very much...especially the end when a boat came floating by with a TON of Disney Characters on it! Super fun!

Day 6 4/18/08
Today was our last full day in Florida. We started off our day with a Sales meeting at the resort we were staying in. My parents have owned their timeshare there for 18 years and we thought we would look into it. We were there for 4 hours and had a terrible experience with the sales guys--they were terrible! Oh well, they lost our sale! We'll check it out again in December when we go with Mom and Dad. The kids had fun though playing with other kids--Christopher LOVED the video games and Anneli loved playing with the play kitchen and baby doll. She really missed her toys this week! After the sales pitch we went to Disney's Hollywood Studios (or as I know it MGM Studios!) again. We were able to catch a bunch of the shows and meet a bunch of characters like the Little Einsteins, Jo Jo and Goliath and Matar from CARS! The kids had fun running around getting their pictures taken and getting their autographs. Christopher and Shaun were able to split up from Anneli and I and go on the Star Tours ride and the Tower of Terror. Yes, Christopher went on the Tower of Terror and wasn't scared at all! He can't wait to do it again in December with Pepe, Cole and Uncle Nick! Get ready Cole!!!!! :)
