Disney....getting there...

I have gotten numerous emails wondering where the Disney posts are....sorry for the wait...didn't know we had such a following (shout out to ynose in Japan!)  


For those of you who do not know, we drove.  After all, what is a minivan for?  We left at 5:30 am and our goal was to make it to Georgia before 10:00 pm.  We did it easily, getting there before sunset.  We really motored.  All day we only stopped three times.  Once in the morning for gas and bathroom breaks, once for a long lunch to really get out of the car, and once more for a quick break and more gas.  The kids were great, they really were...they spent a lot of the time like this... 






At one of our stops, waving to the trucks going by...and getting a lot of horn honks in return. 



Trapped in McDonalds waiting for the rain to stop its torrential downpour so we can back on the road.




After so many hours in the car the first day we only had about 5 or 6 the next in order to get to Orlando.  We arrived mid afternoon at a leisurely pace.  We stayed at the Caribe Royale Orlando resort. Thanks to my brother Pete who had stayed there previously and recommended it.  What a great place.  

Our bedroom in the room...



the living area...



Eating area...



Kitchen



Bathtub in our room...



The twins' room.  They were great on these big beds.  We were so afraid they would fall off or something, but they were so tired every night that they barely moved in their sleep.



A view from our balcony...a screened in porch!  So nice and worry free with kids up so high.



Once we had unpacked we went to Walmart to buy some groceries.  Liliana picked up this headband...think someone is happy to be in Disney?  








We have lots to post...check back regularly....we have a lot to share.
