Disney World

Well we had an amazing first family vacation! Mommy and Daddy had not visited Disney World in over 15 years and chose a Disney vacation over a beach one for our very busy and curious baby. We checked into the Contemporary and were given our room key/ticket/charge card for the week.

Crawford's first monorail ride to Epcot.










About to follow the touring plan via iPhone app to make sure we got to see all the Epcot attractions.













We got to take a ride in an oyster shell on Nemo's adventure





















After a long day of rides and 3D movie adventures Crawford was spent. He did so great at Epcot and loved the rides, sights, and sounds










AT the monorail transfer station








walking around the resort and Brad saw Mickey icecream ears and just had to indulge his inner child-like instinct











Crawford just had to try a bite!








Brad and I had a babysitter come to the room so we could enjoy a night out a the Food and Wine Fesitval at Epcot.










We could have spent a whole day just exploring the different countries of Epcot. We did enjoy walking around and having a nice dinner and watching the Imagination show.








Brad had to make a stop in the taqueleria where people were getting crazy!








This was inside the restaurant for dinner. It was called San Angel and was a delicious Mexcian restaurant.









Day 2--Hollywood Studios









Out on the balcony getting C ready for his second day at the parks (I was up every day at 6 and everyone was up and out of the room by 7:30)








First character meal was at Hollywood and Vine (how can you not love the Mickey waffles?) This was the beginning of Crawford eating anything and everything in sight. We started feeding him what we were eating on this day and he has never turned back.










Crawford meeting Osso








Crawford checking out Hanny Manny







exploring Hollywood Studios






stopping for a lunch break








At Toy Story Mania (our favorite attraction of the day)






Dinner at Chef Mickeys






Crawford in awe fo Minnie







Pluto kept making Crawford laugh








Chef Mickey stopped by to say hi!





He loved all the characters dressed up it was so cute to watch!





firework show at Magic Kingdom (we watched from our balcony ) -we loved our view!










Magic Kingdom Day--First stop Dumbo!!








All Crawford wanted to do was pull the level that makes Dumbo go up or down






So glad that Aunt Ellen and Uncle Bob could join f us for the day! She is a walking tour guide of the parks and helped us have a very fun and busy day!== Oh and It's a
Small World had to be Crawford's favorite ride!





Crawford just loved spending time with his New Orleans blood line--they were just great with him!





Crawford loving the Winnie the Pooh ride





We just loved the Magic Kingdom





I don't think Crawford has ever fallen asleep this hard even when he was a newborn. He was so exhausted that he literally fell asleep sitting in my lap so I carried around dead weight for 30 minutes.


















came home and rested up and then headed back to Magic Kingdom for some night fun--Crawford was mesmerized by all the light up toys that all the kids have --so of course we had to buy him one too!







Crawford picked out his favorite stuffed disney character and when we gave him a few to choose from he reached out for Mickey and stuffed his nose into his mouth and would not let him go. He has been sleeping with him ever since!






Day 3 --Animal Kingdom






First trip for all of us to the Animal Kingdom we had a great time








We booked Tusker House for Breakfast -Donald's Safari Breakfast. You looooved Donald . He even chased after you becasue he didn't want you to leave!








All Donald's buddies stopped by to say hi at breakfast and Crawford just loved them all again!







Giving Mickey kisses!






Crawford just had a crush on Daisy!
