Since we were in Orlando - we HAD to go to Disney --- :)
We decided on just one day so we could take the boys on some things they were too little for last time. But in true Swenson fashion - we packed in a FULL day --- 3 different parks in 13 hours!
We started at the Movie Studios - everything had just been decorated for Christmas !
We did our best to beat the crowds - but everyone was headed to Toy Story land the minute the park opened. We made some good choices and got on two of the three new rides in record time!
The whole area was pretty amazing - HUGE tinker toys, lamp posts made out of straws and my personal favorite - popsicle stick fences and benches.
Our favorite ride is Toy Story Mania - it is this awesome 3D arcade game. Our two incredible kids were pretty excited to be in Andy's room!
Jimmy and I on the ride.
Once we finished in Toy story land, we headed to Tower of Terror.
Both boys were pumped to go and did great. The theme of the day was holding on to Isaac on whatever ride we were on for two reasons:
1) so he would know we were there and not be too scared (laughable, I know)
2) to prevent him from crashing into the side of the cars - he is tall of course, but still pretty tiny for big rides and just seems to get all noodley and floppy!
Thumbs up all around after the ride!
Love pictures like this --- so much joy!
A quick break for lunch and to feed Anna. She was a trooper to say the least!
After completing the main things at MGM in record time - we made a game time decision to hop a boat to EPCOT. We weren't meeting the Rubles at the Magic Kingdom until 3pm so we had a few hours to play!

We met the Rubles at the monorail station and headed into the Magic Kingdom together and again came out like champs getting on all of the mountain rides at least once and Thunder mountain multiple times!
We even got our own boat on splash mountain --- I snapped a picture of the picture... Mom and Lisa stayed with Anna - sadly my head is blocking Benjy but he is between Buppa and TJ.
We ended the night with some awesome fireworks and a projectile puke from Anna in Frontierland - but still managed to beat the crowds to the monorail to head home for the night.
So much fun!!!
