3 Peanuts: Flashback Friday~Disney

We are leaving in 2 weeks for Disney World and we are getting really excited! So, the last time we were there was exactly 5 years ago (Will was 8 and Harry was 4 and 3/4) . We had the BEST time. Dave and I kind of had low expectations. We knew the kids would have fun but we had no idea how much fun we would have right along with them. To me, there is nothing like seeing your child's eyes light up at Disney World. It is like a week's worth of Christmas mornings!

A friend made us a GREAT video but I cannot upload it here so I thought I would share a few photos from our last trip....

We took the overnight train to Disney from Richmond VA. It was really neat. We boarded about dinner time on a Saturday evening. We checked into our state rooms (TINY) and went to have dinner in the dining car. Then, the boys got in ther PJ's watched a little movie and slept in their beds. The next morning we had breakfast and pulled into the station. In all honesty, the train ride was HUGE fun for the boys. They liked it almost as much as Disney. For Dave and I, it was tolerable.

At the Hoop-di-do Revue. It was so cold in there, the waiter brought out warm clean napkins for my boys to "wear."

Last time, the boys were all about getting autographs but this time, I think they will want to trade pins.

Will LOVES Goofy. LOVES him!

And Goofy could tell because he gave Will some extra attention.

As you can see I was not into photography and we had an Olympus point and shoot. I hope to get better photos on this trip:) Since we did not have the blog back then, I will probably post one or two more Flashback Disney posts just so we have the photos and memories here. Hope I don't bore anyone.

I didn't read the post apparently, because as I was scanning through the pics and reading the captions I kept thinking, "Gosh, that little boy looks just like Harry" (assuming he was a cousin or other relative) and "Gosh, Harry is beginning to look just like Will." Ahhh, it's gonna be one of those days I think! Great pics!

Looks like your children had so much fun!! I was also going to say that your photography is great, and then after reading your last sentence can't wait to see what you bring home with your new camera! Have fun!

have a blast!!! you do know @ breakfast in the castle right? All of the princess stop by the table. I've gotten last minute reservations before. Just call Disney dining. It is awesome and worth every penny!!! I don't think its too badly priced either.
If the wait is close to an hour for meeting the fairies...take it!! It's hard to find a shorter time.

Have fun!!! We live @ 2.5 hours away and LOVE disney :)

Great pictures. Disney just keeps getting better when your kids are older, so my parents say. You are going to have a great trip.

Such fun! My guess is that Disney will be a bit different with a little girl in tow :-)
Can't wait for the pics!

I've never commented before either, but I love reading your blog as well. I get so excited when I hear about families planning trips to Disney because that's where I work! If you get a chance- stop by Epcot Guest Relations and say hi! Enjoy your trip!!
