We just returned from the happiest place on Earth! It truly was so much fun! We stayed 7 nights and we still didn't make to all the places we wanted to visit! There is so much to do from early morning till late night! Being honest, we are more Night people than early morning people! Our first night in Orlando, we went to the Magic Kingdom and attended the 'Pirate and Princess' Party! There were only a set number of people in the park, which meant there were fewer people in line. We waited NO time to get on all the rides. The girls rode Big Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain, and various other rides over and over again! The girls were also given a bag to travel throughout the park to gather 'loot' or beaded necklaces. They also were able to meet several of the Disney princesses. Hallie rode Space Mountain three times! She didn't love it, but she endured it! I was so proud of her. The girls loved getting dad on the spinning TeaCups!
Our second night was my favorite night because we rented a car and drove to Universal Studios to eat at Margaritaville Cafe! Our friend, John Frinzi was playing! It was awesome seeing and hearing him play with our family! The girls loved it, because a balloon artist walked through the restaurant on stilts and created amazing balloons. Each girl received a cool balloon. Hallie choose a sword, Carly a cute '
cherry' hat and Lauren wasn't sure. The artist decided to create one for her as a surprise. It was perfect!!!! She wore a lovely tiera and a HUGE star surrounding it.....as a SuperStar Princess. I loved the whole idea of eating out on a beautiful patio listening to a GREAT musician, drinking Landshark Beer! We even bought some new Margaritaville Hot sauce for my Sausage Shimp Gumbo recipe. I can't wait to try it!

Everything looked as though it were ice or snow. It was 95 degrees and looked frosty! The girls had a blast running, sliding, and swimming in the winter wonderland! We spent two days at Hollywood Studios! Our absolutely favorite ride was Aerosmith's Rockin' Roller Coaster! You blast from 0 to 60 mph in 3 seconds. Immediately you are flipped upside down and shot into several corkscrews, Amazing... absolutely amazing. The girls LOVED it! Hallie was too short for the coaster but she did face the Tower of Terror! She hated it, but at least she rode it once! We loved the new ride in Hollywood Studios, it was the Toy Story, Media Mania ride. It was kinda mix of an arcade game and a ride. It was also 3-D. Awesome!
Animal Kingdom is home of the Yeti! Everest Expedition is the coaster ride that screams up a huge mountain to find the Yeti has torn the tracks, you then fly backwards in the coaster only to face the Yeti!!! Once again you return forward on the track. We rode this ride several times! I even think it stole my cell phone.! I am not sure where I missed placed the phone, but it came up missing at Animal Kingdom. Maybe the Yeti did take it!
,,,,, oops gotta run, we have three softball games tonight. I will add more later!!
