2010 Family Trip to Disney World

We had a fabulous time in Florida - couldn't have asked for anything more than better weather (it was rather cold in Florida)! Everyone had such a great time! Hundreds of wonderful memories and good times were had by all. Each day was filled with something new and exciting.
You forget how everything in Orlando revolves around Mickey and the gang. Grandpa took us grocery shopping the first night and look what we found at the supermarket.
On day 2 it was up early, to go meet Trevor and the rest of the family at Give the Kids the World Village. There were some special people who were going to be at breakfast. The village was so neat (it looks like a life size candy land and everything is geared towards children). Look who we got to meet before breakfast.Lexi and Trevor with Mickey & Minnie (poor Trystin was sick and VERY scared of the characters)The Trevor Gang: his parents and sister, all of his grandparents, a few aunts, an uncle, and a cousin
And since we spent some much time meeting Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, & Belle we missed our breakfast by 5 minutes. So we ended up at the ice cream shop for a quick continental breakfast and of course, ice cream. It wouldn't be vacation without ice cream for breakfast at 10 am on the first day. It was then off to the "Happiest Place on Earth"!Trystin, Trevor, & Lexi in front of Walt, Mickey, & Cinderella's Castle (the 3 famous icons of the park).
The first four days of the trip Grandma Cindy, Papa Tom, Auntie Paige, Auntie Whitney, & Grandpa Larry were in Florida so we spent time with them at the park, T-Rex Cafe, and the village where Trevor stayed (the Village had an event/activity every night for all the kids - events like the town mayor's birthday party, Santa Claus & parade). Staying at the Village is like staying at a miniature Disney World. If anyone knows Trevor they know he loves dinosaurs so we all went out to eat at the T-Rex Cafe in Downtown Disney and he even got to Build-A-Dinosaur! Trevor and Lexi were buddies for the whole trip because it was only the last couple days Trystin began to feel better and was able to hang with us.
The last part of the trip Uncle Russ & Auntie Robin came from New York to see their little goddaughter in all her glory with the Disney characters. We took Lexi to breakfast with the Princesses for her Valentine's day present and she loved it. I really think that this Disney trip was all about the characters for her. She would light up every time one of them came anywhere near her. She enjoyed the rides in Fantasyland. Her favorites were the Pooh Hunnypots, Dumbo, Tea Cups, & the carousel. We attended a Disney Playhouse show and she danced the whole time. She also, got to see her first 3D shows and it was so fun to watch her try and touch the objects in the air. We got to see the fireworks & Tinkerbell a couple times, as well as, the famous night-time light parade.
Words can't really describe how much fun we had so why don't you view this slide show we put together with all of our memories!
