Disney!!!

We had a fabulous trip to Disney World and were able to enjoy the Free Disney Dining Plan that they offer! We went from Friday, Sept. 12 thru Sunday, Sept. 21, which turned out to be a great time to go. Disney offered free dining from the last week of Aug. to Sept. 20 and you have to stay on Disney property for at least 3 days with a pkg. deal, but it is so worth it! Turns out it is their slow season which is why they offer it, so the parks were a lot less crowded which was great and then you saved a ton of money by not having to buy your meals!

We stayed at Port Orleans Riverside, which is our favorite place to stay, plus they are one of the few Disney resorts that can fit 5 people in a room (2 adults & 3 kids). Thankfully, the hurricanes stayed away and were not a problem for us at all. Plus, it only rained 2x...once after the fireworks were over at Epcot and the other a misty 5 min. rain with the sun shining at the Animal Kingdom.

We all had so much fun at all the parks and riding tons of rides, as well as getting lots of autographs from tons of characters. Elizabeth was even brave enough to ride Space Mountain, Everest and Tower of Terror! We also attended one of the Halloween Parties at the Magic Kingdom which was a first for us! The kids got to dress up in costumes and trick or treat throughout the park for yummy candies, plus certain rides were open as well as a special Halloween Parade and Fireworks. The park was closed to guests who did not have tickets to the event and was from 7:00 pm - 12:00 am. The Magic Kingdom looked fabulous dressed up in all the lovely Fall colors and decorations! Definitely a sight to see!

We had so much fun that we even signed up for Bounce Back...aka signed up for next year's trip including free dining, too!
