One of my favorite things about this trip (aside from the obvious-got to see the hubs and he got to meet our baby girl) was that my GG came this year. It was her first visit in over 30 yrs. My aunt and cousin were a bit cruel and convinced my 81 yr old GG who is not a fan of roller coasters to ride Expedition Everest without telling her anything about it. From that point on, her rule for riding anything was, can the babies do it?
GG and our princess
Instead of an autograph book, this year, we brought a football and had all the characters sign it. The boy loved it and all the characters had a great time. Goofy even played catch with the boy for a few minutes.
We spent a day at Hollywood Studios and the boy (aka Buzz) and the girl (aka Jesse) got to meet the real Buzz and Woody.
One of the most magical coincidences was that we happened to be visiting Walt Disney World on the official 40th anniversary. Magic Kingdom was packed but it was fun to see all the die hard Disney fans.
The boy was in heaven to have Joshua there with us.
One of the things we were most looking forward to was the appointment we had booked for the boy at The Pirate's League but since the boy had never had his face painted before, we thought it would be a good idea to do a test run first in Dino-land. It turned out we were right because the boy was extremely unsure of the whole face-painting thing. We found out AFTER he became Dino-boy that he thought it was permanent like a tattoo. Once he realized it was temporary, he did everything he could to keep his face paint on and it set us up perfectly for The Pirate's League where the boy picked the scariest pirate option...
Before...we brought our own costume for him...
After.
This is Jeremiah Sharkstench.
Our last day at the parks was also OU/Texas. We had lunch at Le Cellier and then walked around World Showcase enjoying the Food and Wine Festival...something we did 3 other days too. We knew the score of the game without even looking at a phone because every time we passed a Texan, they bowed their head in shame.
BOOMER! SOONER!
It was a trip of a lifetime and I'm so glad we got to go. It was horrible to leave Joshua at the airport but we got through it and he's home now. We're looking forward to our next trip especially since we'll all go together and we'll all come home together.
