We thought this day would never come, well John and I didn't. The kids didn't know until only a few long days before we left, and let me tell you it was a hard secret to keep. Thursday night we told them we were leaving on vacation Saturday morning, we just didn't tell them where we were going. It wasn't until we got to the airport they found out we were headed to Florida. There were so many surprises we thought it would be fun to stagger them out.
I was really nervous about the plane ride, here are a few pictures to show how it went.
yeah for the sleeping!
Juice and Animals, great way to pass the time.
We landed in Florida, the rainbow at the end of our plane ride, Grandpa Payne came in to help with the troops. The kids were so excited to see him and more so to find out Grandma Payne and Aunt Ashley weren't too far away.
So really I'm not sure who was more excited for Disneyworld, me or well everyone else. I was just giddy about the whole experience. I mean what's not to love, Disney, family, fun....

| We've finally arrived! | | |  |
I couldn't get enough of the picture taking, proof that we were really there but had to stop long enough to ride It's a Small World and have a mini family reunion with our Long Lost City Cousins from Pennsylvania. We hadn't seen them in way too many years but you'd never know from watching the kids. They took to each other like pb and jam.
There's a few new attractions at DW one being Belle's house. While you wait in line we got to see the inside of her house. It was pretty neat.
 |
| Apparently McKenna is the same size as Belle at her age. |
 |
| Tyler and Gigi |
 |
| They do a small play that involves the group and John was chosen to be a knight, Tate as the Beast and Gigi and Madeline as sparkling silverware. Tate Surprised us all with his great roaring. |
 |
| Tate kept trying to sit down with everyone else but this lil beast finally decided to give Belle her dance and hug first. |
 |
| Sir John Wesley |
 |
| Tate got a kiss from Belle after he played the Beast in a lil play at one of the new attractions. |
  |
| We love the fastpass that got us in to see one of our Favorite Princesses. |
 |
| Snow White's not too shabby! |
  |
| Not sure what he's doing but these two became pretty good friends. This was in the Lobby of Belle's Castle/Cafe |
 |
| The Payne's At the Beasts Castle for Lunch |
Then off for our 2nd round of Princesses:
Cinderella & Aurora
  |
| Prince Charming's Carousel Ride |
 |
| Cooper still loves his Grandma |
  |
| Apparently none of us are King Arthur, we couldn't get Excalibur out |
