Heartland had a show booked in Palm Bay, FL, so we got a chance to go to FL again. Would we pass that up? Heck no. We figured while we are down there ;) well go to Epcot and Animal Kingdom. Thanks to our Cousin Patty we got in for free. It was me, Kelson, Jason, Rodney, Lucy, Cousin Patty, and Theana. Cousin Patty is a sweet friend thats a huge Heartland fan, so she hooks it up for us ;) Anyways, I will admit that I was not looking forward to the FL heat so I wasn't gun hoe on going, but when we got there it was overcast and not too crowded. YEA!!! This was Rodney's first time at Disney- poor guy- he has never been at all. We wanted to go to Magic Kingdom, but the free passes were only good for these two parks. Hey- you can't complain about free stuff. So anyways, we had a blast. Went on Soarin' and Kelson got a good nap in. We went to ride the Nemo ride. Kelson got pics with the fish. She liked those. Jason and Rodney wanted to ride the Mission to Mars ride (I have rode it before and almost vomited so I passed), so they went to get in line for that. While they did Kelson, Theana, Patty, and Lucy all went to stand in line to see the Disney characters. I wasn't sure how Kelson would do or how she would react. Well this was the BEST part of the whole trip. Kelson had a freaking blast. She got to see Mickey Mouse, Pluto (by far her favorite), Minnie Mouse, Chip n Dale, and Goofy. I think Pluto reminded her of Eers. She was so cute playing with him and he even got on the floor with her and danced- it was sooo cute. She cried when we had to leave him to go to the next character. As we were standing in line- Pluto came over to her again and started dancing and Kelson went nuts- it was the cutest site EVER. People that didn't even know us was taking pics of her. Pluto was showing her lots of attention and she loved that. I couldn't quit smiling! Sadly Jason missed it cause he was on a ride :( but good thing we got pics and video.
We went to see the Finding Nemo musical. Kelson was screaming- because she was excited and loved it, but then there was a part in the musical where there was a HUGE boom and she freaked out, so her Memere (lucy) took her out while we watched the rest. Next we went to get ice cream, and head to Animal Kingdom.
On the tram ride there they had some shiny gold poles for people to hang on to and I jokingly called Kelson my little pole dancer and so I had her hang on the poles- she was laughing while she was dancing on the poles- haha! Kidding of course, but it was funny to see her facial expressions.
By this time it was getting pretty hot. But still not nearly as bad as it could have been. We went and saw the birds, tree of life, and to ride the Mt Everest ride. This one is super cool. We went and rode the dinosaur ride- that is pretty cool too. The picture that the park took of us- me, theana, rodney, and Jason was hilarious. Theana had her head between her legs and I had my hand over my eyes- haha! Almost bought it but the prices are ridiculous. We had talked about going to see the fireworks, but after 12 hrs of park we were all pretty done. Kelson was GREAT and didn't fuss at all. What a girl! Just like her daddy at Disney :) I wanted to hit the safari, but we ran out of time :(
Overall we had a great time!!! The hotel/condo we stayed at was just ok- all the beds squeaked so that was annoying and they were very small. Oh well- the time at the park was fun.
