On the way home. We drove a long way today. We made it all the way to Lexington, Kentucky. The same place we stopped at on the way down. We should be home in the afternoon. I am very excited to see you guys.

Jessie, Donald and Mickey all took their spots in the car for the long drive home.

Then they followed along in the map book. They all agree that it's way too long to drive.

When we stopped for the night Mickey unwound with a little TV before bed.

Mickey also checked to make sure that the blogs look good.

Today we did a back stage tour about how they run the Magic Kingdom. I wasn't able to take many pictures, because we were backstage, but I got a few. We got to ride the Jungle Cruise and the Haunted Mansion with a tour guide telling us about how it works. It was lots of fun but lots of walking and Grandma was very tired, so we went back to the hotel after. Since we were back early I called Uncle Dan and Jeremy and they were done working so they came for a visit. They are having a great time learning all about their new job.

Tomorrow I will be heading home, I'm so excited to see you guys!!!

Jedi Mickey and his friends found this cool flag. He thought Sebastian might like to hang it in his room.

On the tour, their was this nice woman. She loves Disney even more then Grandma. Look at her amazing Tattoos.

When we all went for dinner Mickey decided to have fancy water that comes in a glass bottle. Uncle Jeremy was very impressed.

Mickey tried to help Uncle Dan find something Vegan on the menu, there wasn't much so the Chef made him a special dish that he liked very much.

I had this Giant Greek Pastitsio it was great kinda like a lasagna.

Animal Kingdom was todays target. We arrived at the entrance and as we walked in we saw a very cool person named Devine. She is dressed up to look like a vine and she moves very gracefully and slowly. It was very cool to watch. We went and got Fastpasses for the Safari ride and went up to Conservation Station on the train. At the station we got to see a snake and learned some things about saving animals. After we went for Lunch and the Safari. The baby Giraffe was right beside the truck it was neat. Next we went to the Nemo show that I really like and then Grandma did Primevil Whirl (she is very proud of that). Next to see the Lion King show and then it was time for dinner. After dinner we caught the last Safari out and had a very funny driver that liked to tell jokes while driving.

We are doing a special tour about the Magic Kingdom tomorrow and then friday I start driving home to see you. YAY!!!

Devine was very cool to watch. She would slowly creep along like a vine and curl around the trees and poles.

At Conservation Station Mickey tried riding a Rhino. He liked it though. But it wouldn't fit on the train to come back so he let it there.

Can you find the hidden Mickey in this part of the mural?

cool isn't it?

Grandma liked that the baby elephant manged to gain 300lbs in 9 months just by nursing.

I found a beautiful butterfly for Calli

It was so cool to see the giraffe right next to the truck on the safari!

Despite the clouds looking a little dark, we said good luck the Uncle Dan and Jeremy and headed over the Epcot. The boys couldn't come with us because today was their first day at work. When we first arrived I ran over to get fastpasses for Soaring and then to get in line for Test Track. While we were standing in line it broke down and we had to leave, oh well. We went into innoventions and tried out a few of the things there. Get mommy to check email, because we sent you a game. As we came out of innoventions to go get some lunch it started to rain. Man did it ever rain!!! We got soaked, but we didn't let it bother us. We walked around the World showcase and looked in some of the stores from around the world. We went on the Oh Canada movie, then back to Soaring, and The Seas with Nemo and Friends. We went to a really good dinner at Le Cellier. After Dinner we hopped on the Monorail and saw Spectromagic (which is a cool parade with lots of lights) and Wishes my favorite fireworks show. It was a busy wet day, but we had fun.

Since he didn't get to ride the real thing, he sat on a car and pretended.

Mickey found a pig to ride at one of the innoventions shows about saving money.

Everyone gets wet when it rains this hard. It kept it cool though.

Mickey had a talk to Mommy's arch nemesis.......The Troll of Norway!!!! He says he's sorry and wants to be friends with mommy

Mickey found something familiar in Florida. Can you guess what country he might be in?

Here is a picture of the real Mickey in Spectromagic. It's a very cool parade with everything all lit up. It looks way better in real life.

and Cinderella was in the parade too.

This is just one of the fireworks pictures I took. I will show you more when I get home.

Today was Hollywood studios, and we added some friends along the way who are looking forward to coming home with me. We went to a new Greek Restuarant for breakfast and we liked it so much that we are going back for dinner on thursday. At the Studios we went on The Great Movie Ride, American Idol Eperience, Star Tours (Grandma and Uncle Dan), Back Stage Tour, Rockin Roller Coaster (only Uncle Dan), Indiana Jones Stunt Show, and finally Toy Story Midway Mania ( and I got the highest score!!). For dinner we went to a new place at the Animal Kingdom Lodge called Sanaa and it was very good. We all loved it.

I hope you like the pictures, I'll post some new ones tomorrow.

We had yummy breakfast at Kouzzina (which means kitchen in Greek)

After Breakfast, Mickey met an old friend who said he would like to come home and play with Xavier!

Grandma was having a fun time at the Studios.

Mickey and Donald tried to take the speeder for a drive but seemed to have trouble reaching the pedals!

Uncle Dan is all ready to try to beat me on Toy Story Midway Mania, but what he doesn't realize is.......

I have Jedi Mickey helping me and the power of the force!! We had the top score by a long shot!

On the way back to the hotel after dinner there was someone special looking for a friend. Is there anyone that would like to be her special friend?

Today we finally got to Disney World! It is very hot down here and it's pretty busy. We had to wait in quite a few lines. We went to Magic Kingdom. The rides we did were first, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Hall if Presidents, The Haunted Mansion, Buzz Lightyear Spaceranger Spin, Carousel of Progress, and Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor. Then we had dinner of the California Grill which is at the top of the Contemporary resort. Tomorrow we are going to the Hollywood Studios.

I miss you very much,

Love,

Daddy

Got to start off the day with a coffee!

mmm.. bagels for breakfast!

This is what we could see from the balcony of our room at the Gaylord Palms, cool huh.

They even had Alligators in the lobby!

Yay, we're here!

Cinderella's castle is still beautiful to see when you first walk into Magic Kingdom

It is very hot, Uncle Jeremy and Mickey stopped for a lemonade slushy.

Mickwy tried to see if he could become ruler of England but alas the sword wouldn't come out of the stone.

Mickey loved the view from the top of the Contemporary Resort. You can see all of the Magic Kingdom from up there!

Good Morning! We made it to Florida, Yay! We had a very long drive today and now we are here. We are staying in a hotel called the Gaylord Palms. It's very pretty but, it's very late at night and too dark to take pictures. I'll take some in the morning to show to you. Tomorrow we will be going to Disney World!

I love you guys very much, and I will talk to you in the morning.

Love Daddy

Uncle Dan and Mickey enjoy some breakfast together.

The drive is very long, so Mickey takes a quick nap.

Yay, the Florida welcome centre. Too bad it's late and already closed. No orange juice for us.

Yay, Palm trees.

Mickey helped us figure out the way to the Gaylord Palms resort.

Calli, there are beautiful dragonflies everywhere, you would like this hotel.

Mickey had a nice beer after a long drive. Yay we made it.

Another pretty decoration in our room that I thought Callie would like.
