Ely Family: March 2010

February 22, March 1, 2010

Here is our wonderful trip to Orlando. These photos are a bit out of order. This was at the Magic Kingdom on the Jungle Cruise

. The kids loved this ride. The guides were so funny.

In Tomorrow land and at Cinderella's Castle

These days were so much fun and COLD! There really is a magic here.

At yet another park

This was in Animal Kingdom. The kids were SO excited to meet Lilo and Stitch

This was in Hollywood Studios at the Movie Ride. It was actually nice to get inside to get warm. This was such a fun ride. It was quite nostalgic. It made us want to cuddle up with a warm blanket and popcorn.

This was in the Animal Kingdom Park for the Safari. It was fun to see so many animals Disney style.

At the Tree of Life in the Animal Kingdom. This tree was incredible. There were so many carvings of animals all over the tree.

This was at the Enchanted Tiki Room. We have been to Disney many times but this was our first time seeing this show.

Derek and I (Hannah took the photo) in Hollywood Studios going on the new Toy Story ride. It was VERY popular, and very fun

This is one of my favorite movies so I was so glad to see the characters and to get a picture with them.

This is another of my all time favorite movies. It took FOREVER to get through the line to get this photo...the Disney magic helped to keep us smiling

In Hollywood Studios with a backdrop of a San Francisco hill with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background

We had so many hugs during this trip. It was great to get hugs from eachother and from a couple of funny monsters, which is also another of my favorite shows.

More of Hollywood Studios, I believe that is the Chrystler building or the Empire State building behind us. :)

Derek and I again in Andy's room at the beginning of the Toy Story ride in Hollywood Studios (the REALLY popular one)

Aunt Liz started this tradition for us when we went to New York City with her last April. Hannah has grapes in her mouth and is doing a Planet of the Apes immitation. We did this in Central Park with Aunt Liz for our first time

Night time in front of the BEAUTIFUL EPCOT ball. What a beautiful night.

Ok, so now we can say we've been to an "England" phone booth. In Epcot's World Showcase. This area of Disney World was fantastic. The details they went to were amazing. The next time we go I would really like to spend more time in the country area. Most days it was raining, this was one of those days. The rain was actually our friend as it discouraged people from coming to the park.

At the American showcase

This is Mulan with Goldie. This is one of Hannah's all time favorite shows. We were so incedibly happy to get a photo with her!

Hannah's nick name is Panda so this photo was a must :)

The kids have a special love for China so this was a wonderful spot. This is definately a spot we are going to go back to the next time we go.

I have Scandinavian blood in me so the kids and I had a great time with this area. This was Norway. The ride there is tons of fun too. I love this photo of us, pure fun!

Derek and I saw Chip and Dale when we were running through this building during a rain storm

This photo is a tradition of ours. We have photos of us in front of fire engines in many different states. We started in Chicago, then San Francisco, Seattle, and New York City, and now Orlando. We are excited for the tradition to continue and wonder where the next one will be.
