The Rick Family's First Disneyworld Vacation 2011!

_AN_9312.jpg

We spent a wonderful 7 days in Disney this September of 2011. Dan was able to plan everything in advance including making sure that Michele got onto Star Tours (a Star Wars ride) first thing when getting to Disney. Michele ended up getting on the ride a total of 12 times during the trip. Our last night at Disneyworld, we actually closed the ride.

When we got to our hotel, (we stayed at the All Star Music Resort) we didn't have to wait to check in. We where chosen as the Family of the Day and were escorted to our room with balloons, flowers, pins and they even took our picture. I guess someone told them it was Andrew and Morgan's first visit.

Morgan was able to get all dolled up at the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique in Cinderella's Castle then Morgan and Mommy attended the Perfect Princess Tea with Rose Petal and Princess Aurora. Most of the girls wore a princess costume but Morgan wore the dress Faith used for Vince and Meredith's Rennaisance Wedding. Everyone at the Magic Kingdom and the Grand Floridian were very impressed with how pretty Morgan was in her heals, dress and pink diva hairdo.

While Mommy and Morgan were at the Perfect Princess Tea, Andrew and Daddy were busy at the Pirates League where Andrew was made up like a pirate with a skull face. You couldn't even recognize that it was Andrew under all that makeup.

The other favorite ride everyone enjoyed was Soarin'. We got on that ride several times also but the wait was always too long. Mommy beat Daddy at the Buzz Lightyear ride and we also loved the Toy Story ride.

The dinning plan was a great idea. Dan planned several dinners for us that included the characters. Le Cellier and 1900 Park Fare was out of this world. The character dinner at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in Norway was another great dinner. Andrew got kissed by all of the Princesses who left many a lipstick mark on his cheek. Morgan also got many autographs by her favorite characters. Dan was able to get a picture with Donald and Andrew decided that Goofy was his favorite character and will be Goofy for Halloween.

Andrew was also able to take part in the Star Wars Padawan Training Academy. There he learned to use a lightsaber and actually fought Darth Vader! The force was strong with him.

One special note: Andrew is the same age (7) that Michele was when she first drove down to Disney with her parents.

We had a great time and we hope you enjoy our pictures!
