Family Vacation 2013!
Getting there and Downtown Disney.

Well, the day finally came after waiting for what seemed like forever! Chris, Nick, Dad and I were headed out to the airport to take our quick flight to

Orlando. The plane ride there is always great because you’re so excited to be going to DISNEY!

This one started off with a lot of turbulence and the possibility of a delayed flight due to storms. However, we made it there with no problems, picked up our luggage and rental car and were on our way to meet up with the crew that drove.

We all arrived at the condo within and hour or so of each other and decided to get some grub before heading to Walmart for supplies.

We headed to Sonny’s BBQ, which is the best place you can eat while down in the Orlando/Disney area that is not Disney themed. I would highly recommend them to anyone who enjoys a good BBQ joint.

The next morning was a little weird for me because we are totally used to going to the parks pretty much every day we are there. This time we decided Saturday was going to be a swimming, relaxing, and Downtown Disney day, and it was WONDERFUL!

I don’t know, call it getting older, but I enjoyed this day almost as much as some of the park days. It was nice to just wake up whenever, and swim around with the family. Of course it was totally awesome to get to see some great friends at Downtown Disney that night and do a little window shopping.

As the day came to an end though, I found myself acting like a little kid at Christmas. This was because I knew when I woke up the next morning, it would be time for The Magic Kingdom!!!!! I could barely sleep because of the excitement.
Check back with us next Friday to hear my take on our great day at The Magic Kingdom.

Have a magical weekend!
