Disney World was everything I imagined and more. Twenty-five years old and my first time at Disney--I may have pushed a few people out of line to get my picture with the characters and an autograph of course! Craig and I are so blessed to have been able to partake in such a wonderful vacation.
Our week started off with a day at Sea World! Shamu's show was the highlight of our Monday. I'm still not sure how they train those large beasts--but wow! They are amazing! We were able to ride a neat roller coaster; pretending we were Sting Rays. Seeing flamingos, petting sting rays, rides, shows, and many aquariums--we LOVED Sea World!
Tuesday we spent the day at the resort's water park. This consisted of lounging in the lazy river, staying cool, and preparing for our big day at Magic Kingdom! We went to Magic Kingdom on Wednesday! WOW! I was in awe when I walked through the gates. It really is a magical place! We had lunch with the characters, rode all of the classic rides, saw wonderful shows, and saw an AMAZING 4th of July firework show! Yes, I got my pictures with the characters and had an autograph book--it's part of the first time experience I hear! We had such a great time despite the 75,000 people and the mono-rail breaking! It definitely makes for some Magical Memories!

On Thursday, we went to Animal Kingdom! After 14 hours at Magic Kingdom and it being extremely hot--everyone was exhausted! Needless to say--we didn't stay all day but we did see some amazing animals and the Parade! We had breakfast with the characters and went on the Animal Kingdom Safari which is amazing--we were up close and personal with the animals--especially the giraffes! They had an amazing Lion King show and lots of really neat animals to see! Once again, Disney did a great job--we had a BLAST!

We ended the week with Craig's family from Jacksonville! We spent our time with them by going to the Sea World Water Park, spending time at the pool, Downtown Disney, and playing cards! It was really relaxing and we had a blast with them!
We had a wonderful vacation and have been playing catch-up this week! I could blog forever about our vacation but it was nice to get home and get back into the swing of things! We keep asking each other "What are we doing this weekend?"--I still don't know and I am excited for a week without any plans and without waiting in any long lines!
Disney was full of Magical Memories and really made our Dreams Come True!
