We were scheduled for breakfast at 9:15 so we went to Hollywood Studios for the opening at 9. We dined with Little Einsteins and JoJo. We saw the Little Mermaid show, Playhouse Disney and Muppets in 3D. We went on Toy Story and our brave 5 year old went on the Tower of Terror. WeContinue reading “Disney Day 7”

Getting close to the end – today we maximized our day at Magic Kingdom being there shortly after opening until closing (10:00) with a brief nap break when it was really busy anyway.

We hit Hollywood Studios just as it was opening at 9am, and we got to get into the park early because Becky volunteered me to be a contestant onContinue reading “Disney Day 2”

I’m back to add a little more detail to the entries: We flew down on Allegiant Airlines – the first time we’d experienced them.  The flight was very no-frills, but that was okay.  The plane left a little late, so we didn’t get there until 5 or so.  We rented a car (Kia Amanti) andContinue reading “Disney Day 1”
