    Default We're back!

    Well we made it back Friday night(after an hour flight delay), and all in all had a great time This was my 3 yo, and 8 month olds first Disney experience, plus my parents hadn't been there in 20 years. Needless to say we needed way more time there, at least an extra day. The kids were fanatastic, naps during the day definately helped, plus we got to relax. The crowds were far and few between. Last Monday night when we were leave MK the guy on the boat back to the WL said 7K only in the MK last Monday--so I knew it was going to be a good week--crowd wise. AK was the biggest crowd last Thursday morning, and it was warm---but OMG Everest was the greatest ride we went on by far. The FP features were really, nice to use. Epcot was the only place we did do much at, we tried to ride Test Track it broke down 3 times while I was in line w/my 3 yo--that wasn't fun. We did Mission Space, that was great, and ate at 7 dragons, caught a glimpse of the Illuminations and hit the road back to WL. Going there was the hardest part transportation wise for us--other than that transportation was good except the ME--that took forever going, and leaving.
    Our favorite parts were the kids at the character breakfasts, they really loved 'em. Even our 8 month old, ate Mickey's nose--it was cute! The best though was our 3 year old was Conductor on the MK railroad It was so great to watch how excited he was(he loves trains more than anything), he received a card saying he was the Conductor, from an Engineer. When our 3rd roundtrip ride with him as Conductor was over, he got off and hugged the actual Conductor(I'm writing a letter about what a great guy the Conductor was), he got to announce all aboard at every stop--it was priceless in our eyes, plus ds was amazed. I never knew they did this stuff, so we were so pleased. We decided to do this trip every other year at least with the entire family(we have 8 adults, and so far 2 little ones)
    Ds can't wait to go back, that's all he keeps saying is he wants to go to Disney World I can't wait to go back.

    What a great time. It's so great your 3 year old got to be the conductor. That's the stuff that memories are made of. (I would worry that my kids might never get off.)

    Thanks for letting us enjoy a piece of your vacation.

    You sure have some good memories to hold! I noticed you said your kids were fantastic - isn't it nice how they're so wrapped up in the Disney atmosphere they forget to misbehave?
    My 2-yr-old was so good on her first trip; I hope she's the same way on our upcoming one, too. Thanks for sharing your special time!
