Florida 2011

Well we got in on Saturday and our first stop was Shades Of Green for tickets and an autograph book for Matty. Then we decided that we were all hungry so we went to one of our favorite restaurants Bob Evans, YUM!!! Once we made it to the resort we unpacked and got settled in for the week ahead. 

Sunday we got up early and went to Epcot. When we road Nemo the ride stopped right at the point where you meet Crush and bubbles speed around you and make you feel dizzy. We were all greatfull when it started moving again, so were our stomachs. For lunch we ate down in the Land and had some really good sandwiches. Before we started walking around world showcase we went up in the big ball. Matty loved this ride! We went on it twice and he was asking to go on it again the next day. Once we started going around world showcase we saw Donald in Mexico, Matty calls him Duck, LOL! We stopped to get his autograph and pictures then we moved on to China for some egg rolls. Matty needed some food that was a little more familiar so we rushed past a few of the countries and headed for America so he could have chicken nuggets. Matt went back to Germany while Matty ate and got a brat and beer for his dinner then it was time to head to France for the BEST desert. I had a crescent roll and a strawberry tart, once again YUM!!! After we were all full we went and stood in line to meet characters. We saw and got autographs from Mickey, Minny, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto. Matty was so serious about meeting the characters and getting their autographs that he didn't smile in the pictures, little stinker LOL! We ended the night with one more trip through the big ball and then headed back to the resort for the night.

 Monday was a little more relaxing we got up and went to the Grand Floridian  for a late breakfast with Mary Poppins, Alice, Mad Hatter, Tigger, and Pooh. Then we road the monorail around because Matty LOVES it. We returned back to the resort and went swimming down at the water Park for a bit then got ready to go to City Walk. Mom and Dad dropped me and Matt off at City Walk and we went to Bubba Gumps for dinner before we headed to Blue Man Group. The show was AWESOME!!! Matt and I both really want to go back.

Tuesday we went to MGM. The first place we went was to see Disney Playhouse Live, Matty got really excited watching Mickey and when the bubbles came down from the ceiling. After the show Matt an I road Tower of Terror twice in a row, FUN!!! For lunch we went to one of my favorite places, The 50's Prime Time Cafe. The food there is really good and I LOVE the deserts! ( Wow can anyone tell how much I like food LOL!) I also tried out for their American Idol Experience but didn't make it. The Lady said she really liked my voice and wanted to here me sing more but I lacked confidence needed to perform in front of others, I agree. When we were finished with rides we waited in line to see Buzz and Woody. Once again Matty was so serious about meeting them and getting their autographs that he didn't smile. : (

Today was another easy going day due to the rain. We had a late breakfast at Bob Evans and then ran to the store before heading to Down Town Disney. We found a few items and we got Matty a Mr Potato Head with a bunch of Disney parts. Once we were done putting a hole in our pocket we came back to the resort and I made pork chops for dinner then Matty went out and played in the sand for a bit.

So far we are having an AWESOME time, just wish it wasn't going by so fast.
