We resisted the call to take the kids to Disney World until now, but we finally broke down and took them this week. I'm glad we waited until now because their legs are big enough to move quickly and they have the physical stamina required for three days back-to-back in amusement parks. While their behavior was not perfect, they were pretty amazing, with no meltdowns or tantrums. We all made a pact before leaving that we would not whine and complain during our trip, and we all mostly stuck to that. They even kept up impressively with my super speed walking across the parks to get to all of the rides (ok, we all know that they were half being pulled, but it was still impressive nonetheless).
Here we are at the Magic Kingdom. The kids were in awe at Cinderella's castle, of course. This one was much more crowded than we expected, but we were able to ride everything except for Peter Pan, which was really not a big deal to anyone. (Judson was not injured at Disney World. He had just had a nasty bike accident about 10 days prior to our trip, which of course makes for some lovely pictures.)
The second day we went to Animal Kingdom. We all (minus Judson) loved the Exhibition Everest and rode it four times with little to no wait. We all enjoyed the wild animals, especially the playful tiger.
The third day we went to Hollywood Studios. The three thrill seekers (Caleb, Wren and Mom) agreed that the Rockin' Rocker Coaster was the best ride with the best start. Judson loved the Toy Story Land rides.
