We had a fun summer but it went way too fast. Every year seems to go faster and faster. The biggest news to share is that Ellie was chosen to go on a trip to Disney World in Florida this September with Magical Mix Kids. She gets to take us with her! So leaving Sunday, Sept. 26th we will head out of town with a group of 14 families who qualified, Magical Mix leaders, one doctor and a nurse to Moline to catch a plane to take us to Disney All-Star Music resort in Florida. I am so excited! Ellie is so excited! This is such a neat opportunity. WE CAN'T WAIT!! We will return Friday, Oct. 1st. We get to enjoy four parks in four days. Sounds busy and tiring. There are a couple pools at the resort to relax by which will be much needed by the end of the day.
Disney World
Epcot
MGM Studios
Animal Kingdom
We are going to have to plan our days carefully, but with the help of a Disney book from friend Jenny and free maps I ordered online highlighting what I think we would enjoy, we should be good to go. I'm picking up tips from those experienced at Disney so if you have any please leave a coment or email me with your tips. I have been a few times when I was a little girl so I have memories but I wasn't in the planning position then. So I want to make the best of the four parks. I'd love to hear tips if you got any.
Disney All-Star Music Resort
This is a picture of the resort! I can't believe how these All-Star Resorts look. They are overstimulating to me just looking at them in the pictures. I'm wierd that way.
This is part of the guitar shaped pool where there is also a baby pool area.
Here is what they say is the quieter pool the grand piano pool.
Thank you Magical Mix Crew for choosing Ellie/our family to go on your trip. We are truely appreciative of this vacation much needed for our family. So... that's all for now. I'll update more about our summer, hangin' with the volleyball players and first days of school. Toodle-oo!
