Nine of us flew down to Punta Gorda Florida, then drove over to Orlando to spend 5 full days at DisneyWorld! All 5 grands, Kevin and Mindy, Alison and myself made up the group. Ethan and Hannah were ready to roll in this picture taken on the Allegiant Air jet.
Here is the youngest set with Manny. It is really really difficult to get all five looking the same direction plus having pleasant looks on their faces all at the same time.
At the gates of Animal Kingdom.
One night we ate at the TRex restaurant.
For dessert - a volcano of course!
On our way into one of the parks. It was described as "trying to herd cats" to get everybody in the same place at the same time.
Poor Carter was too little to go on some of the rides, so somebody would have to stay with him. Here he is trying to watch for the rest of the group coming down Splash Mountain.
Heading in to Epcot - see what I mean about getting them all to look the same direction?
With Minni and Goofy.
At least they are all in the same space.
Of course it had to rain a bit, so out came the rain coats.
We had to read the plaque to realize that this isn't Walt but his brother Roy.
Playing on the iphones, ipads of course back in the room. We stayed at the All-Star Music Resort and had connecting rooms.
Carter checking the map to see where we should go next.
CARS!!! - another memorable photo session.
Hannah in one of her many poses during the trip and Alex trying to join in.
Pushing the crew along. They had all the energy, so tell me again why they got to ride???
Carter in the gift shop while the others got to ride Splash Mountain, again.
Love the bushes in the background.
Many of the attractions had 3-D effects, so you had to wear their special glasses.
Beating the drums - hope she wasn't calling for reinforcements!
Finding Nemo
These were the cool fountains that go from one spot to another - chasing fountains if you will. The kids were having a great time.
You could get wet and run from fountain to fountain - until the Disney workers came and yelled at them.
Carter finally got to meet his favorite - Mickey Mouse!
Then Alladin and Jasmine - Hannah was excited!
Jasmine kissed Carter on the cheek! Then he acted all embarrassed and wiped the cheek! But he was smiling the whole time.
Grandma with the grands!
In the airport waiting for the plane to take us home. All in all, it was a good trip and we made lots of memories!
