disney vacation - Day 1

july 25th - our day started nice and early. craig and i were up by 4:30 to get showered, put the rest of the luggage in the car and get the kids up so we could leave by 5:30ish.

we got some coffee and munchkins and were off... craig dropped me off, we checked our luggage, and he went to park the car. we made it through security easy, and then waited for our flight.



the flight went well. we flew on jet blue and the boys did great with their tv and DS's. we sat in a row with extra leg room and it made such a difference.


we finally made it to disney, and got settled in our room. it was beautiful!!! we stayed at the beach club resort villas. there was plenty of room for our family!!!







we hit epcot first... it is right next to the resort, so an easy walk over. we did all the rides we were interested in doing, and then headed to the Garden Grill for dinner. i wasn't really excited about the food there, and neither were the kids. craig was the only one who liked it actually. the restaurant spun very slowly which was cool, and there were characters too. so the overall experience was good.







after a fun first day, it was time to head back to our room. i got hadley ready for bed, and craig to the boys for a swim. my legs broke out in a heat rash which was odd and looked gross. i have never experienced heat rash before, and it lasted 3 days.

hadley also took this trip as an opportunity to go on a food strike. she just refused most foods, and survived on grapes, wheat thins and cookies. clearly not the diet of champions. she did drink plenty of water, and that was my main concern with the heat.

  1. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That suite looks *almost* exactly like our 1-bdrm at the Boardwalk Villas. The only difference I can see is that the couch/table thing (next to the pull-out couch) was just a round table w/two or three chairs.

    We all actually liked the food at the Garden Grill! And the whole week, Andrew ate chicken nuggets and cookies. Oh, and chocolate milk.
