All right...DW '11. Thinking this years travels couldn't be any worse than last year...might have been wishful thinking. I suppose it wasn't AS bad, but it wasn't great. B&K actually took the 7am flight and got off with no problems and enjoyed a day of beautiful weather. We had the 10am flight and didn't leave until almost 3. Apparently there were "mechanical" issues...they were just going to give us a bigger/different plane, but then they thought maybe it would be a good idea to string along a bunch of parents with toddlers during nap time. Way to go Delta. Thanks for the $6 food voucher and $50 flight credit, I feel sooooo much better! Anyway, Juliette seemed just fine....oh to be 2...
I'll take you through the trip in pictures and try to tell some stories along the way :-)
quick story...left J's suitcase at home... "luckily" it was her stuff, she is the easiest to buy for...i can't imagine Joey having to wear Mickey shirts and pants for the week :-)

blowing bubbles

This year we stayed at the Beach Club Villas. I want to be here everytime!! LOVE it. The pool area is super cool (they have a lazy river and a pool with sand) and you can walk to Epcot in 5 minutes and watch their fireworks everynight (we could even see them from our room!)
applying sunscreen
pooltime
adorable
fun with daddy!
Meeting Belle in Epcot
The Nemo ride was a popular one :-)
chillin
this place is fun guys!
High-five Unkie B! Let's do this again next year!!
So the trip was fun...Juliette did have a cough and we had to bring her to the doctor down there, but the poor little girl just had the hardest time sleeping (making it tought for EVERYONE). She always catches something when we go down there. But somehow it just becomes a little footnote because of all the fun :-) I realize that we did not get a group shot this year, so I am missing that....guess we'll have to go back!
