Orlando Day 1 & 2

Anton had a conference in Orlando, so we decided to make a family trip out of it! We were super excited to go somewhere we hadn't taken the girls before, and were looking forward to having a little time away. The girls were really excited...not just for Disney World, but for everything! 

I always have a blast with my little family, and love the time spent and the memories made on family vacations. With that being said, I can say I prefer DisneyLand over DisneyWorld. It wasn't all I hoped for, but I am still glad we went. We made memories I will never forget, and for that, all the chaos and money spent was well worth it! The first few days we stayed at a really nice hotel that had a great swimming pool for the kids, and free shuttle to the parks. Then we moved hotels to a less nice hotel, but we actually preferred because of its location. Funny how that plays such a big role in making or breaking a vacation! 

We got to Orlando on late Saturday night, so the trip didn't really begin until Sunday. Sunday was a pretty mellow day and we let the girls swim for a while, and then later that afternoon and evening we went to Downtown Disney and it was INSANE. I was shocked at how busy it was. But, we came to realize that there are a ton of hotels around, but not a lot of restaurants and things except for in Downtown Disney. So, that explained a lot of the crowds. Still, it was a fun night! The next morning, while Anton went to meetings, the girls and I went to the Animal Kingdom. Disney always makes things so amazing. The girls absolutely loved Animal Kingdom. They loved taking pictures of all the animals, and there was a really fun ride that Lilly loved. There were only a couple or three rides, one of which Claire couldn't go on which was a disappointment, but it was a fun day. And, Claire got to see a Cheetah on our Safari which was the most exciting thing for her...I loved seeing her so excited!!
