Disney weekend

We spent a wonderful weekend in Orlando. We went down Friday late afternoon and checked into the hotel. Then we went out for something to eat and to Downtown Disney and walked around. It was a lot of fun. The LEGO store alone is worth the visit. It is really amazing what they have built with Legos. There are some REALLY cool toy stores there too, where the kids can play with some of the toys. Angel enjoyed making a Mister Potato Head at one of the stores.


Saturday was spent at Magic Kingdom. We got there around 9:30 and started riding rides and seeing shows. We were able to get into most attractions in about 10 minutes, which was great. Our friends, Peter and Susan, and their kids and additional family, showed up at Magic Kingdom for a show so we spent some time with them. We stayed pretty much the whole day, not getting back to the room until 9:30 that night. Angel is a die hard Mickey fan now. She was so cute at the parade, waving like crazy to Mickey. She kept asking (before she saw him) is we were going to see the "moving" Mickey.

























Sunday we slept in a bit and checked out of our hotel. We went to the Gaylord Palms to see ICE. If you haven't heard of this, it is spectacular. It is about 3 million pounds of ice carved into various winter/Christmas scenes by 30 residents of China. This is truly worth the visit. The hotel itself is also beautifully decorated for Christmas - we spent some time looking around at all of the beautiful decorations and taking pictures.
