Disney World with the Girls

We took a girls weekend to go and see my friend, Cheryl, perform in Cirque De Solei.  It was so much fun and my first trip away from my kids.  Ever.  Did I say MUCH NEEDED?  Adam was a champ and took care of the kids at home by himself. He was a rockstar and that's why I felt so comfortable leaving them at home with him.  He's an amazing Daddy and a loving husband.  So blessed to have the opportunity!  My mom deserves major props too for her generosity and planning of the trip.  Becky was unable to go, but Anna met us down in Orlando.

After Mom and I arrived to our Port Orleans hotel at Disney World, we took the water taxi to Downtown Disney.  Nothing like dinner at Wolfgang Puck before seeing Cirque De Solei! 

The fabulous, Cheryl Sanders!  A good friend from high school who is now living her dream by performing as "The Cleaning Lady" in La Nouba in Downtown Disney.  Such a cool job!  She's wonderful! 

Cheryl, you should've told me we were doing "night time" make up!  ;)

The next day we headed to Animal Kingdom first.  After a brief bout of morning sickness we were off and running to get fast passes for rides.  I love this tree at Animal Kingdom!  So cool.

Here is a pic from Legoland in Downtown Disney.  Had to make Graham think his Mommy was cool.

Sweating it out!  I must say...the Mickey ice cream is SO GOOOD! Thanks for hanging out with us Cheryl!!!

Um...dinner was AMAZING at the Animal Kingdom Lodge.  Maybe the best meal I've ever had bc of all the different foods we got to try?!  Boma- Flavors of Africa- HIGHLY recommend it!

Magic Kingdom at night is beautiful!

We saw glimpses of the light parade in Magic Kingdom as we wound our way out of crazy land!

Do you think we could be Disney princesses?  Maybe sweaty, tired princesses...

Another perk of Disney...Mickey waffles. So. Good.

Anna and I had to make Mom eat breakfast at our hotel before we left for Hollywood Studios.  No repeat morning sickness without eating!  Silly times...

Anna and my mom rode on the Hollywood Tower of Terror (I was jealous) while I went to the Beauty and the Beast show. Actually, I think I got the better deal!  Such a good show and I got to browse around Hollywood Studios by myself for an hour.  One of my favorite parts of the trip...alone time!


A marshmallow turkey leg?  YES PLEASE!  Everything at Disney really is tastier than anywhere else...

We ended our day at Epcot.  It was a whirlwind trip but so worth it. 

My legs and feet were about to fall off by bedtime but it was a good exhaustion.  I can't wait to take my whole family there with me someday.  I'm thinking when most kids are potty trained?!  =)
