We could not have had more fun (or done more) during our week long vacation to Disney World. My parents, the seasoned Disney veterans came up with a genius plan last time they were there: water parks during the day theme parks at night. 90 degree weather, blistering sun, long, long lines and a huge group of people has been a disaster in years past. This time we got a four day Disney World water/theme park pass, took one day at the hotel pool/outlet shopping/nice dinner and hit Universal on the final day. The week was perfect.
Rob, Brooklyn and myself boarded a plane bound for Denver Saturday morning, picked up Brielle, Sawyer and Drew and then flew together to Orlando. There we met my whole family: Mom, dad, Lisa, Jack, Michael and Matthew. With twelve people and two mini vans at moments I kind of felt like we were on the Griswold's family vacation to Walley World. We were able to go to both water parks- Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon and three of the four Disney parks; Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and finally Universal Studios.
I am so thankful to my amazing parents for putting together AND paying for this family vacation. Their generosity is overwhelming sometimes. I am still having withdrawals from Disney and my family. I will be back in Orlando next month for a work trip and I am already trying to figure out a way I can sneak in a trip to the park!
