Disney Vacation - Monday, February 3rd – Hollywood Studios

The only downside to the trip was that Luke caught a bug on the airplane on the way there.  He had a snotty nose.  Despite being sick, he is did exceptionally well.  He goes with the flow. 

Today was the day Liam has been looking forward to all year.  He has been dreaming of going to Galaxy’s Edge for a long time.  Thanks to Lilly’s disability pass, we were able to get a FastPass to the Millennium Falcon ride.  Liam and Rem were the pilots of our mission.  Lilly and I worked the guns and Dave was in the back. I’m not sure what his job was supposed to be, but he video-taped the experience.  Liam was really excited!  Liam also got to make his own light saber, which was a whole experience.

We all took turns riding Slinky Dog Dash, which was as fun as always.  We also all went on Toy Story Mania.

Luke napped in his stroller again today.  He’s such an easy going kid!

We had an early dinner at Mama Melrose.  The food was excellent!  All the kids enjoyed their Italian cuisine.  Our dinner tickets got us into the Fantsamic Show.  Lilly saw the show for the first time.  Last time we saw Fantasmic, she fell asleep on Dave’s lap and missed the entire show.

You can tell by Liam's face how excited he was to be in Galaxy's Edge!

Luke loves Pluto!  He gave him hugs and kisses.  It was so sweet!

Disney Vacation - Sunday, February 2nd – Magic Kingdom

Today was a full day at the Magic Kingdom.  Lilly is finally tall enough to ride all the rides and she planned on doing just that.  She rode Space Mountain, Liam’s favorite ride.  We were fortunate that we were able to take turns watching Luke so that the rest of the family could ride rides.  Luke was content in his stroller.  There was plenty for him to see and experience.  We found a great quick service restaurant that we had never eaten at before.  It served sea food and rice, which was a big hit.  We rode our favorite rides… Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Big Thunder Mountain.

Before our trip we watched some Vlogs about the best snacks at the different parks.  The experts know which snacks are the best value.  The Cheshire Cat Tail was a win!  We got two which was plenty to share.  We also got ice cream at the ice cream parlor on Main Street.  There was so much in each serving and super delicious.  We also discovered this trip that you can buy a popcorn container at any of the parks and refill them for very little money.

Luke napped in his stroller after the afternoon parade.  We awoke refreshed and ready to see more! 

For dinner, we at the Crystal Palace and met Winnie the Pooh and his friends.  After supper, we stayed and watched the fireworks.  Luke was amazed by the show.  It was so great to experience the fireworks as a family, all together.  We waited so long to be able to enjoy moments like this.  It is a memory we will cherish forever!

Disney Vacation - Saturday, February 1st – Travel Day

Today we drove to the Detroit Airport and headed to Orlando.  All the kids traveled very well.  Liam and Lilly are experienced travelers.  Luke napped for about an hour of the trip.  We were prepared with activities and snacks, but did not need most of them. 

Once we arrived in Orlando we took Disney’s Magical Express to our resort.  This time we stayed at Saratoga Springs Resort.  We stayed at the resort and got dinner.  Saratoga is a nice resort, but very big and spread out.  It is like a village by itself.

A beautiful sunset welcomed us at our resort
