Disney World trip 2014

The last time we went to Disney World was in 2010! Our boys were young, they were 15 months, and 4 years old! This time they were 5 and 8!
Both trips were fun and easy! Strollers saved our life! Yes even this time! No shame in our game! Brandon and I could get where we needed to go fast!
This was us in the car on the way down!
BC didn't want his picture taken at all!
I love to see the crosses on the way down! We are a praying family, everyday we pray! But God hears from me triple the amount of time when we are in the car! (Thanks to working EMS) for ten years! You never forget the bad wrecks you work!
I saw on pinterest to wrap gifts from the dollar tree to help pass the time in the car! I did that and it helped alot! We were at the Florida welcome center here and the present they just opened was those pop-it's! They loved stretching and doing this for a few mins, plus we got free OJ there too!
You can barely see this sign but it says Titusville! Our new baby cousin Titus was born on our way down, so I had to take a picture when we came upon this sign!
Our exit! Thank you God, we made it!!!!!
The boys were excellent in the car, but after two days of driving we were sure glad to see the exit to Kissimmee! 
We decided on this trip, we will fly from now on! It's worth every penny and not much money difference!
Our rugrats in the pool! We had so much fun! Our resort had 14 pools! We visited two of the 14 while we were there!
Who doesn't love this sign? I honestly can't remember where we ate the first night, I'm thinking Golden Corral, it always sounds good but for the money I don't think it's worth it!
The second night we headed to downtown Disney!
We ate at Rainforest Cafe!
Dad day and the boys made a car and got to race it at the Disney Lego store!
So much fun for sure!
We are stuff like this every night! It was vacation and our EE had a bday while we were there, so double reason to celebrate and eat cake!
He was tired of the staff singing Happy Birthday to him by the end of the week!
This was Cocoa Beach! Very nice place! It was an hr drive from the resort but worth it!
That's the hubs as EE, I tell them both they go too far out for my comfort but in the ocean he is the fun one and I'm the fuddy dud ;(
I had to have a lil surprise in the room for the bday boy! So I woke up at 2am and blew up balloons and laid everything out except cake and cupcakes!
Let me just say I had no air at 2am! Like none, it about killed me to blow up 4, I really wanted to blow up all 10, but it wasn't happening. 
Don't tell the dentist what we bought!
I bought all of his favorite snack food! It's hard to surprise them with something because they were with me the whole time!
Atleast we had a great checkup at the dentist before we left for vacation and no cavities for either boy!!!
I was thankful for this boy! I like a cold cold beer on a hot day! 
This day was the actual Bday! So the birthday boy picked Logan's! He loves their steaks!
We had lots of fun! We are at Orlando Ale House, Cici's Pizza, Olive Garden and Apple Bee's too! We stayed the night on the way down and on the way home to make it an easy trip!
The boys loved the pool more then anything!
The resort also had a movie theater and I thought to myself that's a nice amenity, but who watches movies on vacation? That would be our family! Ha! It rained three nights around bedtime, so the kids took showers, got in their PJ's and we popped popcorn and headed to the theater!
We had to drive because it was too far to walk but so much fun! BC climbed in my lap and fell asleep like a baby, and even though he is 50 pounds exactly, I loved every minute of it! They don't do that often anymore!
We did see a cruise ship on the way to Cocoa Beach!
Pretty cool!!
Gifts for the ride home!
It was so worth it to do this, that the hubs stopped me at the dollar tree to buy tape an wrapping paper! We had brought scissors for Popsicles! 
I will say to put thought into the gifts! I had nicer gifts on the way down then the way home! 
We also took the boys to the arcade room one night and ate ice cream, at the resort too!

We are normally a Myrtle Beach family! The boys loved going to Florida this year so we shall see what happens for next year!

We liked Disney World, but the boys hated the long lines, but both loved the roller coasters! Next time we will check into the fast pass option for sure!

We did get to see Goody and Donald at Pete's big top circus!
We also got to ride the new seven dwarfs ride!


We always have a blast on our vacations!

Downtown Atlanta! Yay! That means we are almost half way home. We drive a lil further and stayed the night!
We had 30 mins left for pool time at the hotel so we ran into our room and thru on our bathing suits and swim trunks quick!
Before turning in for the night we ate at Chili's and got balloon swords for the boys and couldn't pass up on the chocolate molten cake! YUM!!!
We also saw this flying over our van heading to land at the Atlanta airport!
Thankful for a safe trip home! There really is no place like home! ;-)
Thankful the hubs drives 99.9% of the way and never complains and puts up with my paranoia! God love his heart!
In my defense I asked for some "keep me calm meds" and the doctor said everything would make me sleepy and I wouldn't be able to help drive if I needed to, so I opted not to take anything!

Thanks B for working hard for our family and for your Ot days to make our trip happen!
