We were lucky enough to go to Disney world twice in 2012! We loved ever minute of it, too.
Nana and Poppa's anniversary is New Year's Eve; 2012 marked 35 years for them! To celebrate, they took us to Disney!
We got there on the 30th of December. We stayed in the Pop Century Resort this time and always like exploring the resort.
Garyn was making up all kinds of games on this keyboard
I didn't get any good pictures of that parade but being that it was Dec. 30th, it was still Christmas themed. We were glad to experience their Christmas events some. After this, we went to some of our favorite rides: Buzz Lightyear, Dumbo, People Mover and many others. We stayed pretty late that night and watched the lighted parade. We made sure we had a good spot for that!
The next day, we got up early to eat with the Disney Jr. crew at Hollywood Studios. Garyn has been watching Jake and the Neverland Pirates a lot so we opted to do this character breakfast.
I was so proud of Garyn. He was timid but not scared to stand alone with the characters this year.
Ansley on the other hand wouldn't go without Momma. This is Oso by the way.
June from Little Einsteins, this show happens to be one of Ansley's favorites now.
And Handy Manny.
I loved her little cheesy grin in front of another favorite, Mickey and Minnie.
We were able to ride Toy Story Mania even with Ansley. She scared me, though, because she was tiny enough to get out from under the bar that was pushed across us. When the ride was still, she would jump up. A few times, I wouldn't get her back down quick enough before the ride would jerk forward or sideways. We survived though!

We also rode the Star Wars Tours for the first time. Garyn rode with both me and Tyler two separate times and loved it. I was feeling a little motion sick from it. However, I didn't feel like I was going to blow. Unfortunately, the guy behind us did. I noticed the horrible smell and turned to see the horrible mess. I couldn't get Garyn and I out of there fast enough because I - 1) didn't want to brush up against him in the crowd and 2) I wanted Tyler to check my back to make sure it was clean!

We did the Stunt Show again, the Muppet's show and the Disney Jr. show. The kids enjoy these shows and we all laugh so much. Some of the best moments are just watching their faces not caring whether the laundry is overflowing or whether its time to start making dinner. We laughed so hard at the Muppet's when they talk about having a special guest named Mickey Mouse for it only to be a rat dressed as him. Garyn has repeated that several times and cracked us up.

Ansley called these guys all "pal" for the longest. We never knew exactly why but figured it was because Mickey would always say pal. So everywhere we went she would point them out yelling "PAL!" She has since started saying "Mick Mouse." I'll never forget her first name for him though!
On the Dumbo ride!
She loves sticking that tongue out!
Winnie the Pooh ride is always a good one. too.
We also went to Downtown Disney one night and the Lego store was a big hit!
We feel so blessed to have enjoyed family time making great memories!
