Disney World Vacation




Last week we took our first summer family vacation to Disney World in Florida. Simone had the time of her life!(despite the serious faces in many of her photos.)

We had some technical difficulties with the camera, so we didn't get many pictures. But here's a peek at some, in no particular order....

Outside the Magic Kingdom...

Simone and Tony in the lobby of the Polynesian, watching the waterfall.



Together at the Princess lunch in Norway, EPCOT.


Simone with Mickey at the resort....
























Playing in the splash area in Downtown Disney...






Looking at the troll in Norway, EPCOT...



Simone took about a two hour nap in her stroller each day. Usually it was right about when we met the characters...



Waiting in line to go on the Dumbo ride for the second time. Simone INSISTED and waited patiently for 30 minutes.





Meeting Mary Poppins, asleep...



Watching cartoons in the lobby of the Animal Kingdom Lodge after we ate dinner at Boma...



Waiting for the bus back to the resort (and a rare smile)....
















....Awake to meet Pooh and Tigger....



























Several rides on the carousel...






















Simone's second ride on Dumbo. We think she liked it so much becuz it was the highest and fastest ride she was allowed on.
















The Rainy Day Parade in the Magic Kingdom. One of the staff said this was RARE, they usually cancel the parade if it rains.


Simone got lots of sleep every night and woke up "fun drunk" every morning!!
