Every year we try to take 2 or 3 really good vacations. We are owners with the Hilton Grand Vacations Club, and booking a reservation must be done about 9 months ahead to get the largest suite. Over the last couple of years It has seem to slipped my mind to plan these vacations WAY ahead. So back in June my husband asked if I had booked anyting yet, and I said no....He said "I'm not going to Disney AGAIN." We have gone to Disney 4 times in the last 6 years. He wanted something new this winter, but everything was booked but Disney. You see, secretly this is my FAVORITE place to go. I feel like a child when I am there. I'm Just so giddy about all the rides and attractions. My husband always says that I love it more than the kids do. Anyway...I talked him into going again. We arrived the Monday after Christmas and stayed for a week.
Yes...I do it everytime. I take a picture as we drive in. Just like every tourist! The sign never changes, but I still take a picture! This year Trinity was the most excited. She loves Mickey and Minnie, so one of the first things we did was stand in line to see them when we were at Epcot. Lilah was tall enough (and brave enough) this year to ride the big rollercoasters, so she decided to do that with her daddy instead of standing in line to see Mickey and Minnie.
The last time we went to Epcot we watched this beautiful candlelight chior. It was so great that we couldn't miss it this time.
Every week they have a different celebrity read the story of Jesus's birth out of the Bible, and the choir sings along. This year Marlee Matlin was the speaker. She is deaf so all of it was in sign language. It was just beautiful.
Animal Kingdom was great. The safari ride is always my favorite there. We saw a baby elephant and giraffe that were only 4 months old. They were so cute! And yes, that tall giraffe is just a baby!
Lilah wanted me to ride the rollercoaster with her. I tried to talk my way out of it, but I ended up getting on with her. I'm glad I did because it was so much fun. My husband got a picture of us going down the first drop.

This year we finally made it through the 3D show "It's tough to be a bug" for the first time. All the other attempts ended in screaming and a quick exit out the side door.
The morning we went to Magic Kingdom my husband played golf, so the girls and I headed out early to have some fun!
visited Minnie's house...
rode the teacups...
rode some horses...
and rode my favorite...It's a small world!
On new years eve day we went to Hollywood Sudios, and the girls were so excited to see playhouse Disney...
We also finally rode the new Toy Story ride. It is always a 3 hour wait everytime we have tried to get on, but this year we had a family fast pass to ride. It was sooo much fun! One of my favorites!
I didn't take any pictures of the rest of our day...or night. I'm not sure why, maybe we were having so much fun! But we were all so exhausted at the end of our trip...
On the way home my husband kept talking about how much fun he had this year. It was probably the best time at Disney we have had!

We haven't done the whole Disney thing yet. We keep sayin' we are going to wait until the babies get older. Maybe next year will be our year. It looks like y'all had the best time! Great pics!!
We went to Disney for the first time this past July and we had lots of fun.
Looks like Disney was not crowded.
Where did you stayed?
