Our first family vacation and we decided to go to DisneyWorld. Taking my two kids out in public is always a wild card so I tried to prepare myself...I brought reinforcements - Meme and Paw Paw Jim!
The airport
This was the first flight ever for Cameron, Jack and my mom. We made it through security just fine, and then immediately regretted being early for our flight. Having an hour and a half to kill in an airport with two toddlers wasn't an ideal situation. We walked up and down the terminal while Jack weaved in an out of the crowds trying to trip innocent passengers. Both kids ended up laying down in the middle of the walkway as if to protest - or prepare us - for this trip. Nothing is more humbling than bringing two toddlers into an airport. You can see passengers tense up and then breathe a sigh of relief when they realize those two won't be disrupting their flight. It's your lucky day Orlando passengers. Can the TSA revoke your tickets for having wild kids? All that being said, they were awesome. Loved the flight and traveled really well.
Epcot
We spent a half day at Epcot. Finding Nemo was the favorite ride, and we rode it twice. Cameron was tall enough to ride Test Track with my dad and Brian. I asked why they didn't get the picture Test Track takes of you. Brian's response...Once the car took off, Cameron lost all head control and ended up horizontal in my dad's lap. He wasn't even visible in the picture. Jack found a playground to buy time while they were on the ride. It was the flower and garden festival in Epcot while we there. Jack was leaning over to look at flowers and ended up face-first in Disney's prize-winning flower garden. A few flowers did not survive the fall. We also met some characters at Epcot - Chip and Dale, Mickey, Minnie and Goofy. Minnie was Cameron's favorite. He kept it professional and offered a hand shake to the characters instead of the traditional hug. Jack decided to kiss Chip and Dale, but his love for characters would be limited.
