We have been recovering this week from our Disney daze! We had such an amazing time with the whole Purdy fam together. 4 couples+ 5 kids = a whole lotta fun! My parents put us up in the presidential suite at the Wyndham Resort in Orlando. It was super nice and I think having four separate bathrooms might have been the key to a good family vacation :) Thanks Mom and Dad for giving us such a great trip and unforgetable memories! I know that to many taking a 6 month old to theme parks in the hot Orlando sun might not should like such a good idea, but she loved it! The constant stimulation of all the people and noises (especially her cousins) was more than enough to keep this little lady smiling. You can imagine the fits I have been getting now that we are home and it's just Mommy to entertain :( ...so sad.Beware this is a lengthy post...I didn't want to forget a thing!
Day 1
Josh and I got to the airport for our flight, checked our luggage and then saw that our 7 pm flight was delayed until 1 am. With a baby sitting around the airport for 6 hours would be terrible, so the continental people told us to go home and come back in a few hours. There was no way we would get on another flight and tomorrow was booked. Hesitantly, we left and checked on our phones every 10 minutes to make sure the time was still the same and went home. At about 9:30 we checked and it still said 1 am, so we went to bed. When we got up at 11, we looked and it said now boarding!!! We called continental and very nicely asked them to fix our problem!! They did and somehow an availiable flight showed up the next morning?? The rest of the family went to The Magic Kingdom that day:( We were sad to miss it, but relieved to be in Orlando...finally!
On the flight Lila was very fussy and didn't want to be held. Interesting since she had to be in my lap the whole time?? Not very fun.
When we got to the hotel the fam was at Disney World, so we just went down to check out the resort. We sat in the shade and enjoyed people watching at the pool. Lila got hot so we went WT in just a diaper.
Here is a girl who loves being outside!
So happy to be there!!
Day 2We got up really early and were headed to Epcot. Lila was very excited as you can see.
The weather was awesome that day. We got there right when the park opened and beat the crowds! We got to walk right on and ride some great rides.
After the rides we went into the Character Spot where we met some very famous friends! Lila was in aww of Mickey's nose.
These boys reallly loved meeting all their Disney pals!
The Warrens and Donald.
All the girls with Minnie Mouse:)
After a busy morning Lila LEW gave in and slept.
Epcot was my favorite of all the parks. It was beautiful and geared more toward grownups.
That night Josh and I had a date night. This is the view from our balcony.
We went to Fulton's Crab House in Downtown Disney. It was so yummy!
Day 3We woke up extra early and went to have breakfast with Mickey. (Thanks Cary for making the reservation). Here is our little Mickey Mouse Club ready to eat some grub.
When Mickey got to our room, Lila had fallen asleep. I loved how sweet he was with her!
These boys loved Minnie!
Lila did too. She woke up just in time! Angie got this precious shirt made for Lila and Ally. Unfortunately I didn't get a good shot in their matching gear.
That day we went to Hollywood Studios. Not my fav. It was really hard coordinating all the show times and fastpasses for the rides. We went to a Playhouse Disney show that everyone loved...even Lila. She sould watch the puppets move across the stage and get really excited when they danced. Here we are riding the Toy Story ride. You had to wear these 3D glasses in order to shoot the targets. I think Josh was done by this point!
All the Mouseketeers in their ears!
After the parks every day we went to one of the 3 pools and lazy river at the resort. I think this was Lila's and Mommy's favorite part.
Day 4
We just stayed at the resort this day and played. It was much needed after the past few days of busy, busy.
Day 5This day we went to Animal Kingdom. The whole family went on the Safari ride. It was really amazing to see all the African animals. They made it seem like a real safari . "Simba 1...we must stop the poachers!"
Ally and Lila in their matching outfits. They looked alike every day, swimsuits and all. Their mommies just didn't get pics every day.
We left the park and went home this afternoon. Or we tried. Our flight was delayed a few hours again, but hay that's what Chili's Too are for. We had a GREAT time and are so glad we got to be there. This is one Happy family.
Thank you so much family for a truly awesome trip!!
