Day 1

We started the day bright and early - Noah and Ashton were awake looking out the window to see if it was light outside! We were up and ready long before the park opened, so we headed to Target for some supplies (mainly a leash for Dillon and some water - it's terrible there).
We got to the park and headed straight to Adventureland. We got fastpasses for Indiana Jones and then went on the Jungle Cruise. There was no lines - it was great. The kids loved the ride, it was so fun to watch Ashton, he really believed it was all real!
After that we walked to Tarzan's treehouse, this was THE attraction for Ashton.



He LOVED everything about it! Running up all the stairs, reading the stories at different spots, finding the hidden secrets (like, if you touch the gold Tarzans he will show up on the mirror at the age you touched), and then touching everything at the bottom. While Troy and Noah went on Indiana Jones we went on the Jungle Cruise and the treehouse again.




We went to Pirates of the Caribbean - where Ashton got his first "drop" ride. They both liked it, but he wanted to know after this ride if was going to "drop" him. Our next stop was the Haunted Mansion where the boys were terrified. It didn't help that I told Noah that sitting on the outside seat was dangerous and the ghosts might try to steal him. He started crying and then I spent the rest of the ride trying to calm him down. Who knew he would be so sensitive?

Our next stop was to Pooh's ride, Dillon loved this one. Most of the other rides he would bury his face and ask for his 'B' to be put in his mouth. Pooh was out and we ran over to meet him. Little did we know that this was the only character that Dillon was going to be friendly with. He walked right up and gave him a big hug!



We made our way to the teacups where Troy rode with Noah and Ashton while I waited with Dillon. He started his new habit of saying, "me, me, me, me" over and over. While we waited in line for the Nemo ride later in the week, it struck us that he sounded like the pelicans in Finding Nemo that say, "mine, mine, mine"!




Ashton did NOT like spinning and Noah wanted to go as fast as possible. So, since there were no lines we went a second time. I went with Dillon and Ashton (the two scaredy cats) and Troy went with Noah, so they could spin to their hearts content!



We walked over to It's a small world and were a little disappointed. They redid the ride recently and we didn't like it as well. They added some of the Disney characters into the ride and changed it a bit, it just wasn't the same.



It was starting to get a little cold so we headed back to the room and out to dinner.

Oh by the way, we walked 6 miles.
