Disney: Sunday
Posted by: LizzieOk, so the boys had absolutely no idea where we were going. Corey knew we were going somewhere far way and that there was a bag of special snacks to eat on the way. That was about it!
Saturday night, we managed to pack the van almost all the way, with the exception of one or two bags, that way we could just hop in and go. Good in theory! There were several small things to do before we left, but we manage to be on the road by about 10:00 a.m.
Except.
About 20 minutes into the trip, I realized that I had left my license in the printer (I had to make a copy of it for the competition). We turned around to go get it and THEN we were on the way!
The drive was relatively uneventful. We stopped in Savannah for lunch, where there was no changing station, so I had to change Simon in the van. That was the last place we had cell phone service, too. Simon really didn’t appreciate being stuck in the van for so long, and about 15 minutes outside of Disney World, Aiden had to pee. We stopped at a gas station, where he promptly jumped out of the van and peed in the grass right in front of the highway!
So that was nice.
Once we were back on the road, we told Corey to start looking for signs to see if he could guess where we were going. I’ll let these pictures speak for themselves:
Needless to say, they were all excited. Even Simon, who had absolutely no idea what was going on. But the boys were cheering, so he didn’t want to feel left out.
We stayed at the Pop Century Resort. It was pretty cool! Our room was a quick walk from the main building where there was a gigantic quick service food court, arcade, and gift shop. Also included was free bus transportation to any park and back. Sweet!
We didn’t do much of anything when we got there except change Simon’s diaper. We took a bus to Downtown Disney so we could eat dinner at the Fulton Crab House (delicious but EXPENSIVE! (it wasn’t on our dining plan, but we budgeted a few dinners into our spending money so we could enjoy some good food). Simon had pretty much lost it by then and we were all ridiculously tired.
After dinner, we walked around a little and bought Corey a stuffed Mickey that he wouldn’t stop talking about. While in the store, Corey handed Simon a tiny stuffed Mickey that he promplty put in his mouth, so we had to buy that too. It was all good.
We went back to the room and crashed to get ready for the Magic Kingdom.
