2008 Walt Disney World Vacation Pics - Finally!

I never did get around to writing about our trip to WDW this year. It was wonderful! We had so much fun and tried several new things. This year we stayed for 15 days at the Caribbean Beach Resort (Martinique Bldg. #26) and it was lovely! Our building had just finished it's refurb and everything was fresh and clean and looked so nice. Also, a few days after we got there they finished the full pool remodel (complete with the kiddie splash pool with the slides, dump bucket, etc.), all themed like a pirate's ship. It's great! And, it's so much fun to watch the evening fireworks from the pool!

While there, we went to the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. It was a blast! Alyssa had her dress that I made her and we brought with us. And, we had already been to Bibbity Bobbity Boutique and had her hair and such done, so we had the long, curls and all that I redid for the party. We had original had her hair and such done for her to wear at the Cinderella Dinner at 1900 Parke Faire, and couldn't pass up the chance to dress up again. Alyssa and I went to afternoon tea at the Grand Floridian again this year, and as usual, it was elegant and she was such the little lady, LOL. We all had so much fun!

Stuart loved the thrill rides and decided that next year he wants to go on several of the tours. So, we'll have to schedule all that in. He's still excited about going every year and couldn't believe when a couple of his friends didn't think it would be any fun. While we were there he commented a couple of times, "what? and this isn't fun?" It was funny, but after I thought about it, I was so proud that he's almost 15 and still thinks for himself and doesn't readily follow the crowd. His idea of following a crowd is having to wait around for everyone else to decide what to do and then wait for them to do it, so he says he's just going to decide what to do for himself. I love that boy!

We had great fun at all of the rides. Tried restaurants at the parks and several of the resorts and in general, just had a wonderful family vacation again. So, we've already reserved next years, LOL. Oh, well...if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Now, if only we didn't have to wait 10 more months for our next vacation, ;o).
