The Bench's Have Conquered Disney World

Getting ready to leave
The Castle
Pooh and the kids

The slide

Our Hotel...The Wilderness Lodge


We are home friends! I wish I could walk you through each of our days but I am just plumb to tired. I need a beach...somewhere alone...with a stiff drink!


~I will post a few pictures and my flickr link to the side will have the complete 3oo and something photos! I will also post as I remember things this week!


~They kids were beyond surprised! It took about 10 minutes for things to really settle in. But, by the time we pulled out for the airport they were so excited to meet Mickey!


~First our hotel rocked..it was like staying in a real life lincoln log cabin. Jake loved it. And they got to sleep in bunk beds!


~First day....we stayed at the pool they had a fun slide and we just hung out and went to bed early!


~Next day we were up and ready to attack Magic Kingdom! Mickey here we come. We had a blast and rode it all. Jake even rode Splash Mountain and Thunder Mountain but would not ride them again! He then started whining at the beginning of every ride..."Is it dark...is there a tunnel...will I get wet?" That pattern would follow on EVERY ride at EVERY park the rest of the trip. I literally just yanked him on things. I hope I didn't scar him for life! Tate was her daredevil self. Fav things at Magic Kingdom...Tate: Haunted Mansion and Splash Mountain...Jake: It's a Small World....Daddy: Thunder Mountain Mommy: watching them experience it all (even the whining) though by the next day I was ready to sell him!

~We had lunch that day with The Hundred Acre Wood Gang. The kids LOVED this and Jakey loved eating honey with pooh. Jakes fav foods are honey and diet coke (not kidding). We ended the day going to bed pretty early.

**Weather HOT! Lines not that bad...we never waited more than 20 minutes (especially with the fastpass but it was pretty crowded. Not near what it will be in two weeks though!


**Savers: The fastpass for sure and the strollers.
*I will post a little more each day! We sure missed our wee puppy though!
