We're Baaaack!

What a trip. We had a truly incredible time at Disney World. They really do everything top-notch there. I took about 200 pictures over the week, and they are up in the Photos section of the site. Enjoy. Here's a few hilites of the trip.
We went to 5 seperate parks in all: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney/MGM Studios, Animal Kingdom, and Typhoon Lagoon, in that order. Every park has activities for all ages, even Liam! He had a blast! The Tower of Terror at MGM ruled, but what really stole the show was the Mission: Space ride at Epcot. It's a realistic space launch and Mars landing simulator. Barfbag not included.
We met a guy named Tony who was there with his daughter. They are from Liverpool, England. Very nice folks. Tony was actually born on the same day, in the same hospital room as Julian Lennon! Wow. John Lennon bought his dad a drink on that day.
Poor Zoe was afraid of almost everything. She totally freaked out in the Haunted Mansion at Magic Kingdom, and at the very mention of the Tower of Terror. She also got scared at the Fantasmic show at MGM. At the end, she bawled for Mickey because he "saved the day and she loves him!" It was heartbreaking. It's important to note that she had an absolutely great time though. Liam only cried about getting off the Dumbo ride.The wave pool at the Typhoon Lagoon water park was just awesome. The little ones even had a water slide that was their size.
Phoenix at age 10 is FEARLESS. She went on everything, Tower of Terror, Mission: Space, Dinosaur!, Test Track, Space Mountain... you name it, she experienced it. I was impressed. She also made some new friends too.
All in all, it was an expensive trip (we once paid $150 for lunch at an authentic Italian restaurant in Epcot), but worth every penny, because of the way Disney pulls out all the stops. We'll be doing it again next year for sure.
