Yes, its taken us a month to recover from our trip to Disney World. (Actually, it only took us a week but we couldn't find the power cord to charge up our camera so we couldn't download the pictures). Simply put - we had a BLAST on our trip to Orlando. The entire Toskovich clan was in attendance (except for Kevin who was having just as much fun in the MTC I'm sure).
In short, this was our itinerary: for New Year's Eve we hit Disney's Hollywood Studios - probably the best place in Florida to ring in the New Year. We were at the park until 3 a.m., spending most of our time scaring other riders on the Tower of Terror; New Year's Day we slept in and took it easy the whole day; on Friday we went to the Magic Kingdom - we hit all the great rides without much waiting by using our trusty Un-official Guide to Disney (highly recommended); on Saturday we took a brief break from Disney and visited Adam and Renee Garrett in Lakewood, FL - we had a great time reminiscing about Suriname (Adam was my greenie) and took the kids out for a spirited boat ride on the lake; Next the boys and girls split up and had separate "character breakfasts" - the girls dined with the Disney Princesses and the boys hooked up with Minnie & Mickey; On Monday we got our growl on at the Animal Kingdom (Simba 1, Simba 1 - poachers ahead!!!). We then topped off our trip with an amazing private dinner at Epcot which concluded with the IllumiNations fireworks show.
If you can wade through the entire slideshow you'll see what a great time everyone had. Grandpa and Oma sure do know how to throw together AMAZING vacations. From start to finish the entire week was Magical - good ol' Walt would have been so proud.
