It was hard to believe the Disney Cruise I booked almost a year ago had finally arrived Album for these photos All photo albums |
The cruise wasn't actually leaving until Sunday but we decided to head out of town as soon as school got out on Friday |
This ChickFila in Macon is turning into our favorite stopping place. It's the same place we stopped on the way to Florida at Thanksgiving. |
We thought about going all the way to Orlando, but we were beat and decided to stop in Valdosta for the night |
Relaxing Saturday morning |
Derek in the Hampton Inn lobby that was all decked out for Christmas |
Alligator painted on the highway underpass |
We finally made it! |
We stayed at the Animal Kingdom Lodge |
The kids are easy to find in the Disney hotels...they're always watching tv in the lobby |
It was so nice traveling at Christmas and seeing everything dressed up |
On the way to our room there were these places where you could get a glimpse of the animals roaming the property |
Mickey towel art |
The view from our room balcony was pretty limited but the hotel does a good job of placing food so that the animals roam around quite a bit |
Adam was really into trying to see all the animals and check them off the checklist |
We loved all the activity going on at the lodge. These guys were trying to get people to join in on the drumming so we jumped in and helped them out. |
It turns out the lodge gives out beads for participating in the different activities around the lodge |
The kids started looking for other activities so they could get some more beads |
This geriatric barbership quartet was hilarious and very frisky |
Adam earned another bead |
Derek plays with his iPod Touch while Adam decorates his Christmas ornament |
There was a really large bell ringing group performing in the lobby. The music was beautiful. |
Conga line through the lobby |
We took the Disney bus to the Magic Kingdom to ride the monorail |
The Polynesian Resort. All the resorts are so beautiful. I don't even have to go to a park. I can just go the resorts and be happy. |
Adam found the tv |
Grand Floridian Resort |
We couldn't believe the gingerbread house was made out of actual baked gingerbread. We saw a number of impressive gingerbread structures on our trip. |
Relaxing while the kids play ping pong |
We had some ice cream and watched the Magic Kingdom fireworks over the lake |
We took the boat back to Magic Kingdom |
Electric Water Pageant |
Magic Kingdom and Cinderella's Castle |
