M.I.C.--K.E.Y M.O.U.S.E

Wednesday night, April 8th, we flew down to Sanford/Orlando from Greensboro. We got there around 9:30 rented a car and drove to Orlando (about 30 minutes) where my family was waiting for us. They went down earlier that day and went to Sea World. We got there and then David headed to the store to get some things. We all got ready for bed. Thursday morning we all got up pretty slow and got ready to go to Magic Kingdom! We were all really excited only to find out when we got there that they had already shut down the park.. It was filled to capacity. What now? We had already purchased our tickets online, little chance they were going to give us our money back so we headed to Hollywood Studios. And actually it was great. We had fun, the weather was perfect, it was crowded, but not unbearable. We got to ride the Star Wars ride and the Tower of Terror. The other rides were way to long. Austin had a BLAST on the rides, we just wish he could have ridden more. He loves scary things. He was so stinkin cute on the Tower of terror.. David made sure to tell him to not scream like a girl although he (and D) "watched" the bags and Ty of course. ;) We watched The Little Mermaid which was cute and Madi LOVED! She kept saying.."my ariel!". Priceless. The boys went and watched Indiana Jones. Then we met up and watched Beauty and the Beast which was so cute. Ty and Madi both crashed and Nana to Austin to "Honey I shrunk the kids" land cause he wasn't too interested in Belle! ;) We had a great lunch (1/2 price at that because Magic Kingdom gave us some coupons), enjoyed being together, and just soaked it all in. We decided to head out of the park and get a nice dinner somewhere. We ended up at Red Lobster right by our hotel... Bad move we didn't get our food till 10:00, we were all full by then because we scarfed down the garlic cheese biscuits and our drinks. Needless to say, we wasted a lot of food and time that night. Although it really wasn't wasted because it was nice outside so we just let the kids play and we enjoyed resting on the benches. Then home for baths and bed! We got some really cute pictures throughout the whole day...
