Florida/Disney 2011

Walt Disney World!!!!

=) We had some plane tickets to use up, so why not? =)

We stayed at French Quarter Port Orleans Resort on Disney property. It was so convenient to everything! Boat rides to Downtown Disney. Buses every 20 minutes to everywhere else.

Downtown Disney...

Nora had to have her picture taken with every character wether a statue or 'real'

Magic Kingdom....DUMBO!!

the view of the castle while on Dumbo

She even wanted her picture taken with the painted construction walls

(ToonTown is gone and Fantasyland is going to be huge! Each of the major princesses are getting somewhere to 'live.' Including another CASTLE for Belle and the Beast!)

Mad Hatter's Tea Party

The White Rabbit

Winnie the Pooh Ride

Nora definitely liked 'waiting' in this line the best. There are tons of activities for the kids to play with while the parents are waiting which were mainly garden themed.

We had to go back to the line after the ride so she could play some more!

The castle!

Back at the hotel

After Disney, we went to visit Bryan's mom for a few days. We went down to Tarpon Springs and took a boat to a Anchote State Park to go shelling. Nora saw dolphins on the way and is still talking about them.

Grandma signed Nora (and Daddy) up for a biplane Lowes craft.

The safety goggles crack us up!

We spent time a the park near Grandma's too

We went blueberry picking also. The pie was awesome

Nora did good picking only the blue blueberries.

But then....

She decided dumping them was more fun =)

Another park near Grandma's..

Nora had to say Goodbye one more time at the airport to Mickey and friends.
