Disney - Magic Kingdom

Happy Birthday Ava!

We started our day at the IHOP for breakfast before meeting up with Tiffany and her family at Hollywood Studios. We took a tram, a bus, and the monorail to Magic Kingdom. The weather was less than steller (read) RAINY and COLD but we stuck it out.














Happy Birthday AVA!







Immediately inside the gate (after getting out volunteer badges) we went to a gift shop to buy gloves, sweatpants and these Princess ears for Ms. Ava!













We started off in Tomorrowland...we tried to do everything INSIDE to avoid the rain.
After a quick lunch at Starlight Cafe the sun finally came out and we headed to the tracks!



























Then the TeaCups!
















ToonTown to Minnie's House and the BarnStormer rollercoaster (which Ava rode) she was giggling and having a great time!










































After a few pitstops for coffee and funnel cakes we headed over to Small World. (All time favorite ride)



















Then to the Haunted Mansion where Tiffany (the teacherd) THEN gave us the lesson on geography! North American Married South America and they honeymooned in Mexico...and so on and so forth! HAHAHA!


Then we all braved Thunder Mountain..Even Ava (but not Vincent and Allyson)


















Then Pirates of Carribean and so much more in between we did it all from 930am to 930pm with Mr. and Mrs Pro and Family!

















Last stop was the parade in front of the castle.























Happy Birthday Ava! I hope you had a great day! Dreams do come true!!!

Disney - Nick SLIME Station

After Breakfast, shopping, and a quick lunch we headed back to the Nick Hotel for some POOL TIME!

Vincent and I avoided the shade and the cool water and chilled on the side with some yummy cocktails while the kids splashed around and then got drenched in slime!!!

















Every afternoon a huge bucket of green slime pours down over the kids...FUNNY!

















Sean LOVED IT!

Next stop Character Breakfast at the Cape May Cafe Yacht Club with Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse and Goofy

Its been over 5 years since we've been to Orlando and I knew we needed to go this year. It was long overdue. So we decided to spend Ava's 5th BIRTHDAY at Magic Kingdom.

First stop (after driving 6 hours) - Nickelodeon Hotel















We normally stay at Louise's Timeshare at Orange Lake. This would be our first time staying at a hotel so I had to pick something perfect for the kids!
and We Scored with Nick Hotel!



Check it out. We were on the 5th floor overlooking the Slime Station!













The place was huge!!!!















Our Rooms were fantastic also!
