Animal Kingdom & Fantasmic

On this day, Mommy and Aunt Emily weren't feeling too hot. Mommy's morning sickness had turned into an all day and all night event and I decided to just take a breather and stay home.

But you.....you were up and at 'em at 7:30 sharp!

So, on this day, you went to Animal Kingdom with the group....minus Mommy and Aunt Em.

And by the looks of the pictures that Daddy took, you LOVED it!!

What a sight to see!

Then, later that night, we all met up to see Fantasmic
Photo Sharing - Video Sharing - Photo Printing.....and it was Fantastic!!! It's a 30 minute water and light show about Mickey Mouse and his crazy dream of good prevailing over evil. A little scary at times,
Photo Sharing - Video Sharing - Photo Printing it was definitely a sight to see!

Photo Sharing - Video Sharing - Photo PrintingI won't name names, but someone who's name begins with an E and a K made us late for the show. All because a certain someone needed to take pictures like this:
Photo Sharing - Video Sharing - Photo Printing We were supposed to meet the group (my son included) at a certain time and didn't
Photo Sharing - Video Sharing - Photo Printing.....the meanies at Hollywood Studios said we would have to wait for the next show which didn't start for another 2 hours!!!! They didn't realize that our family already had seats and were waiting for us! Well, Mommy turned on the water works and started hyperventilating because she couldn't get to you and someone called security and we finally made our way to you! So, the day ended with a very happy, emotional Mommy!

It's Called The Happiest Place On Earth......

...for a reason!
