The album is called "Disney Trip 2007". You can view them as a slideshow. As a warning - there are 200 pictures, so get comfortable!
We left Houston Wednesday morning on a 7:00am flight. We got to Orlando around 11:00. By 1:00pm we were in the Magic Kingdom hitting all of our favorite rides. Since it's summer and more crowded, we didn't get to do everything we wanted, but we hit the highlights. We rode Splash Mountain (see hilarious picture at the end of the slideshow) which was Lindsay's favorite once again.
Wednesday night we swam in our hotel pool at All Star Movies Resort. We stayed in the Toy Story building like we did in 2004.
Thursday morning we got up and took the Disney Cruise Line bus to Port Canavaral. Disney has built it's own port complete with a mouse-ears shaped entry to the gangway. We were randomly chosen as the "Dream Family" of the day and were the 1st people to board the ship at 11:30am!!! How exciting! We immediately hit the lunch buffet on the ship and swam in Mickey's Pool the rest of the afternoon. We attended a Bon Voyage Party and watched the ship set sail. That night we dressed for dinner and ate Triton's restaurant on the ship.
Friday morning we woke up in Nassau, Bahamas. We took a shore excursion to Paradise Island and the Atlantis resort. We swam in the ocean, floated around in the lagoon and then toured the aquarium. Back on the ship that night, the kids went to the Oceaneers' Club (kids' club) on the ship and Mommy and Daddy spent some alone time at one of the bars and ate dinner at Animator's Palate. Animator's Palate is the coolest restaurant and if you don't know about it, check out Disney's description because I can't do it justice.
Friday night was also the Pirates IN the Carribean party. Brandon dressed as a pirate, Lindsay dressed as Ariel and we watched fireworks off the back of the ship. Disney Cruise Line is the ONLY cruise line that has permission to shoot fireworks in the ocean. Very cool.
Saturday morning we woke up at Castaway Cay, Bahamas. This is a private island that Disney owns and only Disney Cruise ships can dock there. It was so beautiful and secluded. See more pictures and a description here:
That night Lindsay came down with a fever, so she and I stayed in the room while Brandon and Daddy went to see Dreams - a Broadway style show in the Walt Disney Theater. They also went to dinner and brought food back for Linz and me.
Sunday morning we returned back to reality and a TON of dirty laundry!
It was a wonderful trip and we had a fantastic time.
