We woke up early on the morning of Tuesday the 9th to head to Disney World! We had been counting down for months, so we were pretty excited.
Isaac had the comfiest spot on the plane.
Zev and I started to get really excited on the bus!
When we got to our hotel, Zev went to take a nap. I took Tahl out to explore the hotel. We stayed at the Art of Animation which had a Little Mermaid, Nemo, Cars, and LION KING section. Tahl was so excited to be playing in the elephant graveyard from the Lion King.
Tahl was taking Nala around and hiding from the hyenas.
There were giant figures of Timon, Pumba, and Simba right in front of the door where we walked in.
He wouldn't take a picture in front of the giant Ursula because she was too scary.
He did go to check out Ariel though.
The Cars section was really cool.
It was so fun to see the cars and even the hotel looked like the hotel in the movie. It was really cute.
Tahl wanted to take all of his pictures with Nala.
Mater even tried to take a bite of her.
There was a fun little playground with slides in the Nemo section.
Later that day, we decided that Isaac had an eye infection. Ari took both boys back out to play while I took Isaac to the doctor. Here they are under Simba.
A running theme of the vacation is Zev insisting that he needs a picture of himself alone. Here he is alone under Pumba.
... and in front of Doc...
Karen got into town that night, and I took Isaac from the doctor met everyone at Downtown Disney. We ate yummy sandwiches at the Earl of Sandwich. That night Zev woke up at 2:30 and Tahl at 5:30, and neither of them went back to sleep. We were really worried for our first day at the parks, but somehow they managed to do really well.
We did our first day at the parks at Hollywood Studios. The first ride we went on was Toy Story Mania. Everyone loved it.
So we got right back on it again.
We also went to meet Woody and Buzz. Tahl loved the aliens in the line.
Zev looks a little scared of that toy head.
Everyone needed a picture with Zurg.
It was finally our turn.
Here Buzz noticed that Isaac was asleep and he was telling the other boys to be quiet...
He even gave fist bumps.
Zev needed his own picture with Woody.
... and Buzz too...
Zev REALLY wanted to meet Baymax from Big Hero 6. We waited in the longest line of the day to meet him. Here he is with a picture of Go Go from the movie.
Tahl wanted his picture with Fred too.
This picture of Honey Lemon was cool because here purse was 3D.
Isaac really enjoyed this line too...
It was finally our turn to meet Baymax, and Tahl couldn't resist giving him a little poke with his elbow.
Zev was really excited. He even gave him a fist bump.
We went to lunch at Hollywood and Vine with the Disney Junior characters.
Tahl was too hungry at the beginning to be excited about getting up from the table for pictures...
Zev, on the other hand, didn't mind at all.
Tahl got a little nervous around his favorite, Sofia the first.
He did give her a big hug though.
Not his best smile.
Zev's selfie
Here are the guys with doc.
Notice that Tahl had finally finished his lunch and dessert at this point. He was much happier to meet the characters.
Later the boys got to play on the "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" play ground. I love it because I remember playing there when I was a kid.
Here is Tahl climbing on the giant ant.
Later that afternoon Karen and Ari took Tahl and Isaac to see the Frozen show. Zev was tired of Frozen so I took him back to ride Star Tours again and to meet Mike and Sully.
Zev give some serious hugs to the characters.
After we met Sully and Mike, Tahl fell asleep in the stroller. Ari and I used that time to take Zev on the Tower of Terror ride. He was a little nervous, but I think I was more nervous than he was. He really liked it, and he asked if we could go again. Instead we took the boys to see Fantasmic which they really enjoyed.
