We had an AMAZING family vacation when we ventured down to Walt Disney World for an ENTIRE week (my dream :)) October 20 - October 27. Connor turned five while we were there and had a magical fifth birthday. It was so much fun just "playing" with my family for an entire week. No email...no laundry...no dishes...no toys to clean up...just good times. It was WONDERFUL!
We stayed at a new resort...Art of Animation and hit all the parks (along with hitting Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom twice!).
One of the trip highlights was Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party the second night we were there and I would recommend it to anyone...we had an absolute blast!
My parents and Auntie Honey met us for a few days half way through the week (with Auntie Honey surprising Connor which was so much fun) and we had a great time celebrating Connor together. Another highlight!
I can't put in to words what a wonderful week this was. I hope we can go back and have a week of fun again...sometime soon!
On the Magical Express ready for our week of fun!

Connor giving the characters hugs was also a big accomplishment from our last trip. He LOVED all the characters and gave all of them hugs (except the princesses :)) and just adored all of them! |

Erin would only blow kisses to the characters...except Ariel. This was the only one she wanted to touch and actually hugged. |
