This past week, Matt and I took Carter to Disney World!  We have been planning the trip since April so it was very exciting to finally be able to go.  We decided to not take the girls because we wanted Carter to really enjoy it and not be "slowed" down by our little ladies.  We will probably go back in a few years when they are older and can enjoy it they way Carter did.

We woke him up super early on Monday to tell him about the trip and head to the airport. He was very excited!

We had a wonderful time and I think it was very good for Carter to have Mommy & Daddy time.

**WARNING...LOTS OF PICTURES**

 

 

 

 

 We had a layover in Houston on the way there but didn't change planes. While we were waiting, Carter was able to go into the cockpit and the pilot showed him everything. He loved it.

 

We arrive around 2:00 on Monday afternoon.

 

Unfortunately as soon as we landed it started to rain and didn't stop until about 9:00 that night.

 

 

We didn't let the rain slow us down.  Monday night we headed to Magic Kingdom.

 

 

  Tuesday morning we went to Epcot. It was still raining, so I didn't get many pictures from Epcot.

 

 

 

 

Tuesday night was "Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party". It was so much fun. All the kids dressed up in costumes and trick-or-treated around the park. They had a Halloween themed fireworks and parade. We met up with our friends the Thompson's who were there the same week and ate dinner and the kids trick-or-treated. They had a blast!

 

 

 

On Wednesday, we started the day with breakfast with Mickey. Carter had a great time.

We then headed to Animal Kingdom. The weather finally cleared up and it was a great day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On Thursday we went to Hollywood Studios.  The sun finally came out so it was hot, but I will take that over rain any day.

 

Mickey waffles for breakfast.

 

 

We had lunch with the Disney Jr. characters. 

  

 

We ended the trip on Friday at Magic Kingdom.  We had breakfast with the Pooh characters and spend the day enjoying MK.

 

 

 

 

 

When we walked out of breakfast, we got a great surprise!  Peter Pan and Wendy were there, so Carter go to meet them. He was so excited!!

 

 

 

 

 

We got to meet Captain Hook as well.

 

Carter rode a roller coaster.  I was so proud of him. He is a very timid little boy so this was a big deal.

 

 

We ended the day at Downtown Disney. We ate the TRex Cafe which is basically like The Rainforest Cafe but with dinosaurs. They came to life every 30 minutes or so which was very neat. We were exhausted so we didn't spend as much time there as I would have liked. 

 

 

Overall it was an amazing trip. I am so glad we will always have this memory with our little guy.  It was very special and I hope it is something he will always cherish.
