After our graduation celebration lunch, we hit the road. The girls assumed we were heading back home, but a few minutes into the ride we let them in on a secret. We were heading to Disney World! Needless to say, their screams let us know how excited they were! We had an easy though long ride down and arrived around 9PM. The girls were pretty tired, and took advantage of a nearly empty lobby at the Lowe's Pacific Hotel at Universal while we checked in.
On Saturday morning, we all felt refreshed and we headed over to Islands of Adventure. We all enjoy Suessland and wanted to experience "A Merry Grinchmas." It was a gorgeous day!
They can't resist trying on fun hats.
We enjoyed lots of fun rides while we were there. Here's The Cat in the Hat and Caro-seussal, but we also enjoyed the One Fish, Two Fish flying ride and the Suess Trolly Train Ride in the Sky.
Decorations around Suessland are so cool!
After lunch and a dessert treat (cat's hat cookie for Lily and the biggest caramel apple I've ever seen for Mia), we headed over to watch a live performance of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It was great! The actors did a wonderful job, and they even had a cute little Max. This was lots of fun!
After that show, we caught the end of a Suess performance and then met some favorite characters.
Around mid-afternoon, we decided to head on over to Disney, so we left Islands of Adventure and checked into the Grand Floridian. Our room wasn't ready, so we left our bags and headed to Hollywood Studios.
Jake! Still one we enjoy.
We were all excited to have a fast pass to Toy Story Mania; this is my favorite ride at Disney. We all had a great time shooting the lasers at the different targets. In the end, Ryan won by shooting the most targets.
The whole reason we ended up at Disney was because we wanted to see the Osborne Family's Spectacle of Dancing Lights. This is their final year at Hollywood Studios, so we planned a trip to see them. It was incredibly crowded, but so cool. Everything was lit up; it was pretty awesome to see!
What a great way to start our trip!
