Getting Around Disney

For our first adventure out of the hotel, Audra gets some help.

A geyser in our hotel lobby.

A Florida Rainstorm Greeted Us
Taking in my first Disney World Experience

On the Bus to catch the Tram with Gramps and Grams

Chip and Dale joined Audra on the ride

Audra kept dry via Daddie's built in poncho.

Rain + Sun = Rainbow
To get around Disney it is best to leave the car at home. You can take a Bus...

Sometimes we took boats...

...little ferry boats or large Paddle Boats.

Other times we turned back the clock and road the Steam Train.

Whatever the transportation, Mommy makes for the best travel buddy.

On Our Way to Disney World


The Bags are packed and we made it to airport!
Bags Checked, and Security Checked, now we await our Plane, Check!

The kids did well (minus the waiting to board the plane) on the plane. Fruit Snacks and Kindles helped
Not that we fly often, but Southwest was solid!

Orlando Aiport Look Out Grady has Arrived

On the tram from the Terminal to the Bus Area
We also recommend using the Magical Bag Service. We left our bags with the Milwaukee check in agent and then they were in our hotel room later that day! Very convenient!

So far, a car ride to Milwaukee, followed by the plane to Orlando and then  a Tram Ride to our Bus. Next Stop Disney!

The kids are all ready to meet the natives!

Thank You Margie

June 8th was the last day of school for Hillary and it also meant the last of daycare/school with Margie. Sadly for us Margie has decided to retire and the kids will be headed to a new provider in late August.

We will truly miss Marge! But Congrats on your retirement and Best Wishes. Thank You!
