Our Disney Trip

Our family just returned home from Disney World. What a trip! We conquered the parks and then jumped on board the Disney Dream for a four night cruise to the Bahamas. It was packed with fun and lots of memories. We all had such a great time. I am going to try to write about out vacation one day at a time and in order.

Thursday, November 20: Rapps depart Houston and head for Florida! Collins was so excited about the trip, the airplane, the Mickey Mouse boat and especially about her new pink suitcase. She told the porter at least four times that the pink suitcase as hers. She pulled it all by herself as we walked through the terminal.
Both Collins and Holden did great on the flight to Orlando. Taking off his shoes kept Holden entertained for at least ten minutes.
We arrived in Orlando and boarded the Disney Magical Express for the ride to the airport. We stayed at the Art of Animation resort; specifically in the Cars section. It was so fun to see all the Cars characters around the resort grounds.
Once we were checked in, we headed to Downtown Disney for some dinner and exploring. This was our first picture with Mickey and Minnie. Collins did not want to be photographed at this particular time.
Of course we stopped at the Lego Store and Colton used some of his spending money to purchase a new Lego set. This giant Hulk statue made from Legos was pretty impressive.
Back at the resort, we had visitors. Taylor and Lauryn Allen came to see us since they live in Orlando. It was fun to catch up and the kids ran around in the hotel lobby while we talked. Here Holden was taking a break with Colton.
Collins was full of energy and she ran and ran in her new Disney Princess nightgown.
Then it was time for bed so that we would be ready to go the next morning!
