Thanksgiving and Disney

With the new Cobb County school calendar, we have the entire week of Thanksgiving off. This year, we decided to head down to Orlando for the week. 

Our first day was spent at Universal Islands of Adventure.  The kids have never been there and we wanted to check out the new Harry Potter area of the park. Now, we are not HP fanatics. We have seen the 1st two movies but have not read any of the books. There were LOTS of hard-core HP fans at the park...the line just to get into the HP area of the park was 90 minutes long (we managed to cut right to the front). 

We also visited Hollywood Studios.  Ryan and Allie were able to participate in the Jedi Training and Sean enjoyed his first ride on Toy Story Mania.

Nana and Papa drove up from Orlando and we had a nice Thanksgiving at the hotel.  Our hotel had a very cool pool with a water slide and a pirate ship!  Allie and Ryan particularly enjoyed the jacuzzi tub!

On Friday, we went to the Magic Kingdom. We were pleasantly surprised that the crowds were lighter than when we have visited in December the last 2 years.



Sean was a trooper all week...being dragged all over Orlando. He napped and nursed just about anywhere and everywhere!  He melted down each evening around 6:30 and did not sleep through the night at all (even though he has been sleeping through the night for months at home). But as you can see, he was in good spirits during the day :).  It was another wonderful visit to Orlando/Disney!
