Our Pea Pod: Disney World Vacation: Magic Kingdom

We did it! We got through an entire week at Disney World with three 21-month olds (plus our good friends' baby girl, 15-month old Addison)! We had amazing weather the entire time in the 80's and no rain! We arrived on Sunday via plane and left the following Sunday. We pay into a vacation club so we stayed at the Blue Heron Resort, right outside of the Magic Kingdom's entrance and everyone else was scattered around at various other hotels. My parents stayed farely close in their own hotel room, Jen and Kara stayed in a timeshare right down the street and our "Army friends", the Brumfields, flew in from Washington state and stayed in a hotel about 10 miles down the road.

Overall, it was a great trip. It was nice since the kids got into everything free (2 and under) and Joe and I got military discounts on everything. The first thing we had to do when we arrived was of course baby proof our suite. We were afraid as to how the kids would react to the pack 'n plays since they're now in toddler beds and sure enough they climbed right out! So we took everything out of their room and had to "lock" them in their room at night just in case they climbed out! Luckily, we though to bring our video monitor so we could also keep an eye on them. We didn't really have issues until the mornings since they were so tired at night they would crash! I guess we'll be selling our pack 'n plays after this trip!

The first night we had to use a chair to barricade them in

The rest of the week we "locked" them in with rope by tying their door handle to the bathroom!

The first day we chose to go to Magic Kingdom. Little did we know that West Point's spring break would be the same time as all of the public schools in Florida!

Once we paid the $14 to park...CRAZY! We unloaded the kids only to have to break everything back down in order to get on the tram! Note: get there early enough so you can park close and don't have to take the tram! Luckily, Chelsea and Eric met us there and were able to help us but it was quite humorous for others to watch I'm sure! Once we got into the park we began "mapping" out what rides we wanted to tackle before the lines got long.
