Our Resort















When we decided to go to Disney World we chose to stay at the Pop Century Resort. Yes, it was a value resort but a wonderful place to stay. We got much more than we expected. The resort had a several restauraunts, 3 pools, 2 splash pads, gift shop, and an arcade. They even provided bed rails. The staff was AWESOME and the place was spotless. We were very pleased with this resort. Thanks Aunt Jennifer for setting all this up for us we had a wonderful vacation. We also give thanks to the Lord for giving us the opportunity to take this trip and that he kept us safe.

Final Day at Disney World























We are exhausted by now... We decided to hang out at Magic Kingdom ALL day today. We began with breakfast at the resort and loaded the bus headed for Magic Kingdom. We waited at the castle for about 30 minutes and had front row seats to the "show". The kids loved it despite the hot sun. We also rode Dumbo, It's A Small World, and Buzz Light Year. We also enjoyed several shows. We toured Mickey's house and played on the playground for a little while. We headed over to Crystal Palace for a late lunch with Winnie the Pooh and friends. It was a great lunch and wonderful entertainment. As we were eating dessert I said to Jeremy, "We have not taken Rylee to see any princesses yet." I asked the waitress where the princesses were and we wanted the shortest line since Ry is really not into them yet. She handed me a piece of paper and told me where to go. She said, "This will take you to the front of the line to see Cinderella, Belle, and Sleeping Beauty." It really did!!! Each princess spent about 4 -5 minutes talking to her and getting pictures made with her. It was amazing! They begged Tucker to come up and let them kiss him but that was NOT happening. Rylee fell in love with all three princesses. However, Tucker and Jeremy seem to think this place was for girls. Tucker told Belle, "He liked Power Rangers better." This experience ranks right up there with Tucker seeing the castle for the first time.

Disney World Day 3



















We had to get up early for breakfast reservations with Lilo, Stitch, Pluto, and Mickey Mouse. The breakfast wasn't the best but meeting the characters was wonderful. We then headed to Animal Kingdom and tucker loved it. The highlight of Animal Kingdom was the safari ride. We seen many animals including, giraffes, baby elephant, rhinos, and many more. We also went over to Dino Land and rode the flying dinosaurs and the kids had their face painted. Tucker's was painted like the Red Power Ranger and Rylee had a ladybug on her face. We also enjoyed the show "It's A Bug's Life". We had to head back to Hollywood Studios for dinner reservations at the Sci Fi Cafe. It was a cool restaurant, we had dinner in cars at a drive in movie. The block party was taking place and the kids enjoyed dancing, playing with bubbles, and watching the show. Tucker got picked to dance with one of the stars. Check out his moves...We decided to head on back to the resort to swim and play before our flight home the next morning.
