The first day we flew from NOLA to Orlando. We had an early flight so we had to be up by about 5 and be at the airport by 7. We were able to grab a quick bite of breakfast at the airport. Colby was really excited to ride on a plane. This would be his second time flying on a trip. The last time he was 2. He did really well in the plane. We arrived in Orlando about 11. We hopped on a Disney bus and they brought us to our hotel. We got checked in but our room wasn't ready. We quickly grabbed lunch b/c we were all starving by that point. We stayed at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. This was our first time staying there but we loved it! After lunch we set out to explore the hotel. It was neat seeing the giraffes and zebras up so close! We even found a shady playground spot for Colby to burn some energy. We walked around a little more and by this time we could tell Colby was in NEED of a nap. We went back to check on our room one more time and thankfully it was ready! We went to the room and got settled in. We knew he needed to lay down and rest or he would never make the rest of the evening. He never fell asleep though in the bed. We gave up around 3:30 and got on a bus to go to Downtown Disney. Ofcourse he conked out like the minute the bus started to roll! I was glad he atleast got a short nap! We got to Downtown Disney and met up quickly with some old friends. Colby and Blake were nursery friends. They ended up reuniting and playing really well together. It was so nice to catch up with Andrea and Beau as well. We have known them since before we were married. After visiting we ate dinner at the House of Blues. After dinner we wanted to do a little shopping. All the stores were CRAZY so we got in and out. Colby picked out a couple things we then ate icecream which again was nuts! We did a little more shopping then got back on the bus to the hotel! By that poing we were all exhausted! It had been a busy, but fun day!
Our second day was another busy, long day. We woke up early again b/c we had breakfast reservations at the Grand Floridian. In order to get there we had to take a bus to the Magic Kingdom then get on a monorail to get to the resort. It took like an hour! Breakfast was nice but also took a long time! When we finally got the transportation back to the hotel we were running late for our cruise bus! We were scared we would miss it. They were literally lining up and walking to the bus! So glad we made it! In hindsight we should have just stayed around the hotel but we were trying to make the most of 24 hours in disney world! I think Colby loved all the transportation we rode on! After about an hour long bus ride we got to the cruise terminal. We got checked in and onto the boat about 1. We immediately went to grab a light lunch. We were all so tired again! Once our room was ready we went there to take a nap. Colby crashed! After a nice nap we had to get ready for the required safety drill. We then went to check out the sailing away party. Colby wasn't as crazy about the party as I had thought/hoped...he was ready to move on. We walked around then got ready for dinner that evening. That night we ate at the Enchanted Garden. The food was really yummy. I think we all 3 enjoyed it! After dinner we brought Colby to the kid's club. We figured he needed some time to run around and be with other kids while we went to the show. We had checked out the area earlier in the day so he was excited! We didn't stay for the entire show b/c we figured it would be late. The show was really good we had seen it on our other cruise but it was slightly different. We picked Colby up and he seemed really happy. We then went back to the room for baths and to unwind. Colby slept on a bed that came down from the ceiling...it was like a bunk bed. He loved that! I think we all slept good after 2 straight busy days!
