Walt Disney World...Where dreams come true....

Walt DisneyWorld...Where dreams come true....
Since starting the adoption process, we hadn't been back to Disney in 2 years. For those of you who know us, we are a Disney family and try to go atleast once a year. In September, we were all getting the itch to go back, but wondered how we would manage with a 14 month old. We decided to Just Do It and treat ourselves to our first vacation as a family of four! We went for four nights, stayed at the Contemporary, had Park Hopper passes and the dining plan...all of these elements made the difference while going with a 14 month old and it gave us so much flexibility. The Contemporary being only one monorail stop away from the Magic Kingdom, was perfect. Brady and Julia had an absolute wonderful time at Disney as brother and sister. Brady went on as many rides as he could and loved the characters. We booked four character meals and he loved everyone of them. We also bought tickets to Mickey's Not So Scarey Halloween party at the Magic Kingdom one night. Julia was able to trick or treat with the characters and ride as many rides as she could!










We were also selected the Family of the Day at the Contemporary Resort! When we arrived, there was a resort executive waiting for us to see us in. There was all of this music playing, balloons, pictures, our picture and name displayed throughout the lobby that day and they upgraded our room to a wonderful view of the water. What a way to start our trip - we were so excited!!!


We viewed this trip as a way to welcome Brady into our family. We are truely blessed to have him in our lives as he continues to develop into this adorable little boy everyday! The journey was long....but so worth it in the end. To see his smile during this entire trip brought tears to our eyes!!

"By choice, we have become a family, first in our hearts, and finally in breath and being. Great expectations are good; great experiences are better"
