Floridian Christmas part 1

Well, flying with 3 kids under 4years of age...it was about as awesome as you'd expect. But we arrived at the resort about 1:30 am. So the next day we chose to just hang out, and have fun at the pool. We played bingo, had snow cones, and just got to catch up with each other. Did I mention they had a chick-fil-a just down the street from our resort? Yeah, that was awesome. 

 Day 2 we did Epcot center. Such a great place, the least crowded of all Disney parks, mainly because there aren't the most rides, mainly pavilions and gift shops. We had so much fun though, ate the amazing German food at the Biergartens, and took advantage of "rider switch" passes. Having 3 small kids was so awesome for this, we had a big group of 16 people, 12 of which can do most all the rides. So if you take a small kid to the entrance of the ride, they give you a "rider switch" pass. That admits 3 people into the fast lane. So I would go up with Greta, get a pass, Braden took Graham (with just enough time I between so they weren't suspicious of us being the same group) and one of my brothers would take Eve. So one person stayed with the babies, while the others would get to go on the ride together and skip the line. Perfect system. Possibly brushing on a moral grey area, but hey, it's Disney World during Christmas holidays, all bets are off. 

There were a few things for smaller children to do, but looking back, I'm not sure it was he funniest of days for them, they are just too young to really be interested in the different cultures presented at the different pavilions. But we did our best, and tried to keep the kids having a good time. We would play games and bubbles while waiting for others, and ate lots of treats. 

This picture....well, this says so much. See the photo bomber? Yeah, that's my little brother. See the obvious tourists in the background who were oblivious to the fact that we were staging a photo? Yeah, those are my parents. I love my crazy family. 

But the absolute highlight of the day...Meeting Mulan. Eve loves Mulan, she wants to watch it all the time on netflix, and she goes around karate chopping and ninja kicking around the house pretending to be Mulan. She's right up there with Tinkerbell. Anyways, we bought most the characters were done for the day, as it was getting dark. But I heard this shriek "mom! Mulan is here!" And just like that, a little girl's dream came true.
