Florida & WDW

Right before Parker's 3rd birthday we took a trip to Florida to see Parker's and Eden's great grandparents and to go to Walt Disney World. We had a great time! 



At Disney we decided to go to Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom leaving a couple of down days for pool time and exploring. That meant not seeing any of the "Cars" characters at Hollywood Studios. To make up for it we went to the Art of Animation hotel which they have decked out as Radiator Springs.

Our first park day was at Animal Kingdom. Highlights:
* Parker went on the safari 3 times. He loved the trucks.
* We met Daisy Duck. Par gave her the biggest hug and later said that she was pretty.
* There's a "Wildlife Express Train" which we of course rode. A couple of times. A sweet Disney lady noticed after we got off for the last time that Parker was completely fascinated and wanted to sit and watch the trains arrive/leave the station. She talked to the conductor who let Parker sit in the engine and blow the whistle. Don't let the picture fool you- he was thrilled!

"Mommy, don't take my picture!!!"

Day Two at Magic Kingdom Highlights:
* Parker and Eden met Mickey! Just like with Daisy Duck, Parker gave Mickey the biggest hug. They also bounced together. It was hilarious.
* Parker rode his first roller coaster, Goofy's Barnstormer. He was so excited but during the ride his facial expression changed to pure panic. Again, hilarious. He was brave though and rode it twice- once with Keith and once with me!
* We lucked out and had a great spot for the afternoon parade. Parker LOVED it. Eden slept through it. Just like she did every other time we were somewhere super loud.
