Disney 2009

Last week we took our annual Disney trip with MomMom and Stu. This year we decided to switch things up a bit and try some different theme parks, and I think we all enjoyed trying new things. Our theme park visits included Blizzard Beach water park, Magic Kingdom, Disney Quest, Universal Studios, and Islands of Adventure. It was a big year for Angela and Madison because they were both brave enough to try new things. Angela braved and enjoyed a few big roller coasters and rides at Islands of Adventure and Universal such as Dueling Dragons, The Adventures of Spiderman, and the Slusher Gusher at Blizzard Beach. Another highlight for her was seeing Johnny Depp in the Pirates ride. Madison was finally tall enough to ride most of the rides and water slides as well. For the most part she enjoyed all of them, and said that Thunder Mountain at Magic Kingdom was her favorite. Although most of the rides were fun and exciting, there were a few crying incidents that took place too. One ride, Poseidon's Fury, was a little too intense for her...Hudson too for that matter. At one point Brian was holding Madison crying, I was holding Hudson crying, and all Madison would say is, "Where's Pooh Bear? Get me out of here...I just want Pooh...he'll make me feel better!" It was priceless! At Blizzard Beach we all enjoyed the slides...even Hudson. When we got off every ride at The Magic Kingdom Hudson said, "Again, again!" This kid has no fear when it comes to height, fast speeds and water. I think Hudson enjoyed the water park and our afternoons at the pool the best, along with seeing Barney and Spiderman live. He spent a good amount of time jumping off the edge of the pool (with swimmies on) and then popping up out of the water. He was entertainment for all those around us at the pool. It was pretty funny! On our last morning when we were all pooped out from walking around, we ate a wonderful breakfast buffet, accompanied by Minnie Mouse, Goofy, and Donald Duck. It was a great way to end a fun week at Disney.

Thanks MomMom and Stu for the many magical memories!
