We took an extra special trip to Disney World the week before Thanksgiving with Nana! It was a total surprise to the kids :) We loaded up in the car Tuesday afternoon after Ella Kate got out of school and told the kids we were going out to dinner. They were a little suspicious as Ella Kate said "Hey why does the car look like we are going to the beach?" We let them think we were driving to a restaurant for an hour or so and then let the secret out :) I loved the surprised look on Ella Kate and John's face as Nana passed out special Disney bags with fun prizes for both of them (i.e. new Disney movies, stickers, games for the car ride, etc.). We had originally planned to drive half way to Valdosta, GA Tuesday night but everyone was so excited about the trip and the kids were being so good that we ended up driving to Gainesville, FL. We stayed near the campus of the University of Florida which was cool for the kids to see. The next morning we ate breakfast at the University of Florida student center and John announced that he was not a Gator fan :) HaHa. We arrived at Disney World around noon on Wednesday afternoon and the excitement began. We stayed at the Contemporary Resort right next to the Magic Kingdom.

Excited about our meal at T-rex.
We meet a huge T-rex when we walked in.

The details inside the restaurant were amazing.
Fun night after dinner walking around and exploring downtown Disney.
She is a Daddy's Girl for sure :)
She loves her Daddy and Disney World. Me too Ella Kate!
Posing with Daisy and Donald. John wanted to do a mad face like Donald. Dave insisted on buying jidbits for our magic bands. He does not want to admit it but he loves Disney World as much as I do :)
This dragon was in a real lake and made entirely out of legos in Downtown Disney. Pretty impressive!
