DAY 1 Flying and the Grand Floridian Hotel was its own sensory experience! It was just simply beautiful to look at and well maintained for how old it is. It always smelled like roses! All the employees were hard at work keeping us comfortable and relaxed. We stayed in the Conch Key Suites #1703 and 1704 right next to the ferry boat dock that takes us to magic Kingdom in 10 minutes!
We watched Magic Kingdom's from our suite every night!
The Grand Floridian Resort is really GRAND!
DAY 2- Breakfast at Ohana Restaurant.
Got to meet Lilo and Stitch (one of very favorites!) along with Mickey, Goofy, and Pluto.
Animal Kingdom!
Tusker House Restaurant--yummy food and meeting characters for dinner!
Fantasmic! in the Evening!
Day 3 and 4-Magic Kingdom!
Love the Electrical Parade and the Nighttime Spectacular!
Sam still really wanted to meet some princesses but she didn't want to wait too long for them so we found a short line for Rapunzel and Cinderella.
However, Sam's favorite princess has always been Belle and she got to be the armoir lady in "Enchanted Tales with Belle".
And of course the DUMBO ride....
I love how they made 2 of them now and a cool play area for kids while your waiting!
DAY 5 was taking it easy and relaxing at the 3 different pools at the Grand Floridian and then a
LUAU at Polynesian Resort!
Downtown Disney!
Frozen Fever in 90 degrees!
Tower of Terror!
Star Tours
My brother and his wife Josh and Jenna who live in Miami, Florida for school met us in the afternoon at Hollywood Studios and stayed over night with us for two nights! We had room because we had two adjoining suites! So happy they were able to come up!
Day 7-Fun at EPCOT!
Day 8 & 9- Universal Studios!

Ryan loved the wands and the chocolate frogs at Honeydukes.....
Samantha loved the owls and got herself a Hedwig. And we loved exploring the whole place and eating dinner at the yummy Leaky Cauldron restaurant!
Escape from Gringotts was such a fun intense ride!
The whole reason we even came to Universal Studios was for the Harry Potter stuff but here's a few pics of what else we saw and did...
