What are we going to do??

Okay! So now you know when you are going, where you are staying and so what are we going to do!??! I found myself asking this question over and over again! I mean Madyson was turning 3 during our trip and Aubrie was 16 months old...She couldn't enjoy Disney..Could she?? I mean what was she going to do?!?! Simple, EVERYTHING!!!

Disney is an amazing place, like I said on the Where to Say post, they think about all families. Aubrie Kate rode every ride we did. Now keep in mind I am not a thrill seeker and all though I have ridden all the roller coasters Disney has to offer (SEVERAL TIMES!) I knew this trip was going to be "KID BASED!"

But we did ride ALOT of Rides...Here are a few...

Peter Pan Ride

Winnie The Pooh Ride

Dumbo

Teacups

Haunted Mansion

Aladdin's Flying Carpets

Pirates of the Caribbean

Cinderella's Golden Carousel

Its a Small World

Toy Story Mania

The Seas with Nemo and Friends

The Great Movie Ride

Honey I shrunk the kids movie set (not really a ride, but still..)

WDW Railroad

Studio Backlot Tour

Kilimanjaro Safaris

Triceratop Spin
Wildlife Express

(On the teacups!!)

Plus we saw shows like the Lion King, Playhouse Disney Life on Stage, The Magic of Disney Animation, Hall of Presidents

We toured Pooh's Playful Spot, Minnie & Mickey's Houses, and Donald's Boat!

The only ride she did not go on with us was Goofy's Barnyard Storm..a Preschool age roller coaster! "So what did you do with her while you rode?" Great Question! We used the Rider Swap tool! "What's that?" Well...I rode with Madyson the first go around. Todd had Aubrie and he and a cast member waited at the unloading station. When my turn was over, I took Aubrie and Todd jumped right in...NO WAIT! it was fabulous!


And whoooooo can forget the obsessive amount of Characters we saw! We made a "mission" for madyson. We gave her a 100 page autograph book and her mission was to fill it up! She did..well all but 5 pages! It was so much fun! Oh and alot of people skip out on Animal Kingdom..if you have a child who LOVES the characters...DON'T! We never waited in line there to see them and we saw them all! Safari Mickey, Minnie, Daisy, Donald, Goofy, Lilo, Stitch, Jimney Cricket, Rafiki, Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger, Terk, Flick, Ballou, King Louie..etc. etc. At Animal Kingdom they have Character Spots down little paths and its like a scavenger hunt but in our case...nobody apparently did their research and knew about this so we had all the time we wanted with some of our furry friends! The only characters we waited in line to see were the fairies of Pixie Hollow, But that was an amazing experiance for our girls, and they both still love their pixie dust covered frame tink & the gang signed for them! Another great spot for characters is the Character Spot at Epcot! We started our trip off there and saw all the fab 5 (mickey, minnie, goofy, donald, pluto) it was a great start to a great vacation...did i mention it was indoors?!?!

"But uhhhhh all that baby stuff..." Here is how we did it. We went to the parks first thing in the morning. We took a backpack with Aubrie & Madyson a change of clothes, their snacks, water, 4 diapers (1 each hour) wipes, and ponchos. We would stay at the parks until around noon, when weather was either WAYYY to Hot or about to rain. We then would hop on the bus head over to the hotel, grab some lunch, take a nap, go for a swim, take another nap, get up around 5:30 (when other people are going to dinner) and head back to the parks with a new refilled backpack.

Aubrie only drinks chocolate milk and apple juice...no problem. We froze a few of her juice boxes in our little room fridge then we would take them with us. YES DISNEY LETS YOU BRING IN YOUR SNACKS!! When she was tired and ready for milk, almost every counter service place had chocolate milk for under $3.00 bucks.

We also took a trip to Downtown Disney, ate at the McDonald's there, went to the Lego store, and to the LARGEST Disney Store, We played Miniature golf (if you stay on grounds you will get a coupon for 1 free game of mini golf!) We went and played at different resorts, we swam and swam and swam!

There is so much you can do when traveling with Toddlers! This post is just a first glance and the best parts of traveling with the wee-wee tots! Come back tomorrow to find out about baby stations, parades, fireworks, and food!
