2nd Half of Disneyworld trip

Monday June 22-
This morning we swam at the mail pool while Mark went for a run and Uncle Mike golfed. There was a fun waterslide, a fountain sink, a hot tub, and bridge and kid pool. After swimming, we took showers and took a boat to Downtown Disney to have lunch at Planet Hollywood. Then we went back to Hollywood Studios and saw the High School Musical 3 parade, went on Toy Story and ssaw Fantasmic....it was a HOT day!!!

Today we went to the Animal Kingdom. We had a huge thumderstorm early this morning while we were still sleeping with lots of thunderstorms and lightening! The kids slept right through it all...shows how tired they were! First, we ate a big breakfast at the hotel and then went to the park to grab fast passes for the safari ride. WHile we waited for the time slot to come, we went over to Rifiki's vet center and met Jiminey Cricket for the first time! Then we went ont he safari ride where we saw lots of animals. Then we grabbed fast passes for the rapids where we had lots of fun getting wet! Then we had lunch at a nice buffet where we also were able to get reserved, priority seating for the Nemo show, which was AMAZING!!! We also made it over to the Lion King show. It rained the second half of the day so we didn't get to swim at all but it was still a great day! It was even better to be cooled off!

Today we went to Epcot and had breakfast with the princesses again! It was funny because the Cinderella from Cinderella's Castle breakfast was Sleeping Beauty at Epcot....very interesting that Mark noticed that! Then we went on Test Track which Avery loved...Andon was a littel scared, go figure! THen we became world travelers and visited the World Showcase! It was great because the kids were able to decorate some masks and get a tag and stamp from each country....kept them occupied! Then we went to the giant golf ball where we went to space! Then we came home for some dinner and swimming and the kids watched Nightmare Before Christmas...not sure how the Chicago Bibbey's liked it but Avery and Andon love it! Then the adults all sat outside and shared some wine!

Lucca and Nathan's Birthday! Today we had a great breakfast at the Grand Floridian with Mary Poppins, Alice, the Mad Hatter WInnie the Pooh and Tigger! Then we went to the Magic Kingdom and did a lot of rides! During a dance break during a parade, all the floats stopped, the characters came off the floats and they invited all the kids to go out and dance. Avery and I went out and Andon, who came out last minute, managed to hit his head on the float! Only Andon! He had a HUGE, purple bump above his eye and we immediately rushed him to a cool place and then to first aid. I was surprised that there wasn't Mickey stuff to make the kids smile but it looked like a school nurse's office! He had a moment with Daddy along with some ice cream....he was better quickly! Avery rode Splash Mountain and Thunder Mountain 3 times! Andon went on the Haunted Mansion like a big kiddo and was only a little scared of the heads that jump up at you...this was a stretch for him! THen it started to rain and the cancelled the parade that Aunt Michele had sat saving us awesome seats...BUMMER! So we shopped, watched the fireworks and went swimming at 11:30pm! We had 2 tired kiddos!

We dressed all the kids in their matching outfits, had some breakfast and hopped on the bus back to the airport. It was a great trip and I would not have done much different except go when it's cooler!
