Day 2 and 3 of the family Disney vacation. We visited Magic Kingdom and Epcot. We rode Tron, Tiana’s and Guardians among others. The girls actually rode Tron 3 times, if you have been to Disney you know that ride can be 2-3 hour waits at times. It was under an hour that day. We had dinner at Garden Grill that goes around in a circle while you eat. Like dinner on a slow carousel. Khloe got to see her favorite character Ariel. We also took a picture in each of the countries represented in Epcot. Oh yeah and had more desserts! Love those Mickey bars.

Family vacation to Disney World day 1. We drove down to Florida with a plan to stay in Georgia but made such good time we drove all the way. We stayed at French Quarter for the majority of the trip but since we got there early and there was no room at the Inn we stayed at All Star Movies Hotel the first night. The first full day Kalleigh and I went to Blizzard Beach water park and had the bath tub desert, three flavors of Dole Whip (Orange, Watermelon and Pineapple), wow was it amazing! Lynn and Khloe went shopping while we were at the water park. Later that night we had our traditional Beignets at French Quarter. It was an amazing first night and day! More to come…
