Disney's Hollywood Studios

Disney's Hollywood Studios was our favorite park!

This was one of our favorite rides! There's nothing like a 13 story drop to get your adrenaline going!!!

Rock 'n' Roller Coaster was another favorite. It took several tries for Maddie to ride, but once she did she was hooked! This coaster goes from 0 to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds! Pop rode it once and was done for the rest of the trip!

Since there wasn't any sun shining, I had to buy a blanket and wrap up on the sidewalk to get warm. Corey says I look like a homeless model:)

Another family picture in 3D glasses

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids!

Maddie, the Magician

The Osborne Family: Spectacle of Dancing Lights was awesome!

We had lunch at Play n' Dine at Hollywood and Vine.

The Spirit of Aloha

The Spirit of Aloha was a Luau at the Polynesian Resort. The show was entertaining and the food was amazingly delicious!

The kids' drinks were served in coconut shells.

As with most shows at theme parks, the actors asked for volunteers to come up on stage to help out. Only these actors were big muscled Polynesian men who needed volunteers to come up on stage to hula dance with them. I definitely did NOT volunteer myself; however, my ever-so-loving family volunteered me, and I was chosen!!!! I know I had to shake it up on that stage, but everything else is all a blur. I just wanted it to be over.

Please don't look closely at my rear end-I was wearing several layers underneath my jeans because as usual I was cold!

The Magic of Magic Kingdom

"The Castle" in all its glory

The castle was even more spectacular all lit up!

This is one of the only pictures of the whole group. Too bad we are wearing 3D glasses and Maddie has her gang sign going on:)

If I was ever not with the group, all anyone had to do to find me was look for where the sun was shining. I was the only one cold, so whenever I had the chance I was looking for some warmth!

One of the Wicked Stepsisters asked Jackson to marry her. Carter's face is priceless!!!

Gathering together for a picture in the Swiss Family Tree house.

We're about to get on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad for the first time.

Maddie & Gram were just as anxious as the boys!

Main Street Electrical Parade

I crack up every time I look at this picture of Maddie & I. It looks like my head is on backwards!

Wild About Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom's Christmas Tree

At the entrance to Animal Kingdom, the kids got to try out their bone identification skills.


The Tree of Life was incredible!

Look in the bottom left corner of the picture and you can see a baby orangutan.

There are 5 orangutans in this picture!!!

Adventures at Epcot

Epcot's Christmas Tree

The "Crew" with Daffy Duck

This is Duffy, Mickey Mouse's teddy bear.

We ate at The Garden Grill Restaurant, which spins very slowly, one evening. While we were eating we got to meet some very special characters.

After dinner, we attended

the Candlelight Christmas Processional. If you look very closely, you will see that Trace Adkins was the narrator of the Christmas Story. He was the perfect narrator for such a perfect story!
