The Most Magical {fricken expensive} Place on Earth.

For MONTHS we have been bribing promising to take B&K to Disney World on our trip to Florida. To say they were excited would be an understatement.  But I can now say I survived Disney World with two 3 yr olds. Woo-hoo!  Considering the trip for the 4 of us to get in the door cost more than my wedding gown (uh, $84 / ticket for a THREE YEAR OLD!?!?), it was worth it to see how excited B&K were to be there.  So let me set the stage:  It was 90+ degrees. At 10am.  And I don't need to remind loyal readers that I hate people.  Some tidbits:

 - We did a 3 day stroller rental from a company called Orlando Stroller Rentals.     WONDERFUL experience with them!  Great customer service, super convenient (they delivered to & picked up the stroller from the house we were renting) and they carry my dream stroller (a City Mini Double).  Let's just say I was a bit more excited about the stroller than I was about the actual Disney visit. 



{Tim is wearing his prized "Drinking Made Easy" Pleepleus shirt.  Tim is the cool dude walking sorta near me.  This was just after I was saying the "f" word under my breath to people who would stop right in front of our pimp stroller to take stupid pictures of nothing.  Grrrr!}

 - Kendyll was totally decked out for her visit to Disney.  I made her shirt (rather last minute), but my friend & fellow twin mama Joanne made the bow and had a hook-up on the Minnie skirt.  Joanne rocks!  Please check out her site here: 



 - Because of the crowds (and heat) we didn't really get to see many characters.  For example, B&K are obsessed with the movie "Tangled" (so much so that they call Rapunzel Tangled. Cute).  Well, Tangled & Flynn Rider were set up for pictures and autographs, but the wait to see them was 2.5 - 3 hrs long.  Uh, not coolio to a 3yr old {in 90+ degree heat}.  But we were able to see Buzz Lightyear.  And we saw most of the other major characters at an afternoon parade.  Funny story . . . some of the Disney "cast members" came through to ask the families to stay on the sidewalk.  We kept reminding B&K of this and this is how they stood waiting for the parade to start (they did this on their own . . . one toe on the sidewalk).



 - I mentioned in yesterday's post that B&K used their savings to buy something on our trip.  Here is their new prized possessions (and the sad part is the $11 each didn't even cover these!). 





And if you are reeeeaaaaaallllllyyyy bored, here is our entire Disney visit in pictures.  B&K are still talking about it (which I imagine they will be for a L-O-N-G time).  It is cute to hear them tell other people about it.  For example, on Tuesday - when Ashley came back - B&K were all "remember when we saw Winnie the Pooh" and "Remember when we wrote the tea cups".  I tried to explain to them that Ashley wasn't there so she couldn't "remember when", but they still start out every statement like this.  Cute.
