Disney World Part 2!

This is what Kase looked like after day 1 at Disney. He slept pretty good that night.

On Day 2 we work up early and went to The Animal Kingdom Park. It was so much fun! We headed straight to the safari ride hoping to see alot of animals out in the morning. Unfortunately we didn't get to see the elephant herd and the silly lion was asleep. All I could see was a bunch of hair on top of a rock. lol We did get really lucky and saw a couple giraffes walking really close to the truck.

After the safari we took the train out to Rafiki's planet watch and saw Rafiki himself. Kase was scared of the big monkey. Oh well.




After all that Kase said that he really wanted to see Mickey again so we headed to Camp Minnie Mickey to visit. We stood in a pretty long line to see Mickey but were able to visit with both Goofy and Donald pretty quickly. All those pictures were on Disney photo pass so once I get that CD I'll post some more of those cute pictures with the characters.

After nap time we decided to go back to the Animal Kingdom lodge for a wonderful dinner at Jiko. That is a great restraunt! We ate there a few years back when Chris and I went to Disney and decided we liked it so much we had to eat there again! 2 thumbs up for sure.

The next day we visited both Hollywood Studios (in the morning) and EPCOT. We thought we would only do 1/2 day at Hollywood Studios, becusae according to Disney.com they had all of the Playhouse Disney things shut down for the redeisgn to Disney Jr. We actually talked about heading to Magic Kingdom for another day instead but decided oh why not we'll see what they have for the kiddos. We are SO glad that we decided to go any way and actually needed alot more time then what we had. Disney had the makeover compelted early and were doing Test Audiences for the Disney Jr. Live on stage. So we made it in to one of the first shows. Then after the little Einstiens made an appearence. Kase was in heaven. He got big kisses from both Annie and Leo.

The longest line we waited in all week was to see Woody and Buzz. Who would have thought but Kase kept asking where were Woody and Buzz so we had to see. At least the area that we had to wait in was pretty entertaining.

After a fun day at Hollywood Studio, we left headed back to the hotel for a nap then headed to EPCOT. We at a great dinner at Rose and Crown pub. We had a couple beers and Kase at meaty macaroni. He really enjoyed that meal. I really need to actually figure out how to make that for him at him. We also rode a few rides and then found a place to watch the fireworks show. The show at EPCOT is pretty impressive.

This is the view of the castle at Magic Kingdom from our hotel. Sorry the picture quailty is so bad but it was AMAZING at night. You could even sit on the beach at the hotel and watch the fireworks.

Disney World!

We took Kase for his 1st Disney World trip the week of his 2nd birthday! We headed out Monday Feb 28th. We were little nervous about Kase's first plane flight. He was a champ!! We had a 2 hour lay over at IAH and then made it to Orlando at about 3. We stayed at the Polynesian Hotel which was perfect. Right on the monorail route out the front door. Out the back door was the boat to the Magic Kingdom and to the side was the Ticket and Transportation center. We were able to get to all the location SO easy. We will for sure stay there again!

It was a very long day but we were all excited and ready to do something. We made a visit to Down town Disney. We visited the Lego store and save the Dragon made of Legos in the lake. Kase LOVED the dragon that kept his attention for almost an hour. He still talks about the big dragon in the lake.
We then ate at a really cool place called T-Rex. It is like the Rain Forest Cafe but Dino Themed. Kase had a cautious respect for the Dinos and stayed a good distance away. As long as he didn't have to pet him he was fine :) I couldn't get him close enough to any of the Dinos to get a good picture.

The Next day was our big day at the Magic Kingdom. It was so Magical! It rained for the first half of the day. We rode Buzz's Space ranger spin several times since it was indoors. About 11 it cleared up and we were able to find Mickey and Minnie. I was nervous that he would be scared of the costumes but he LOVED them. I have some cute video that I will post once I can get it off the Iphone.

We also got him the Mickey Ears that he enjoyed. He wore them every day that we were at the park and a few days at home.

The Tea Cups and Dumbo rides ended up being Kase's Favorite rides. He still talks about wanting to go back and ride the tea cups. He even figured out how turn it and make it spin. I got a little dizzy but the faster we spun the more he loved it. We have a little dare devil on our hands.
