What would the Tillners do?: Disney Universe!!!

Odometer: 17670
Gas: 2.49 - on Disneyworld campus

OK - we did 10 days at Disneyworld with 8 of them at a park - Missy and I should get an award or something. I like the place better than most 30 something year old guys, at least the straight ones, but by the end, I was willing to pay extra to go home.
That aside, we had an absolutely great time!!
This post is obviously picture heavy - but we had about 600 to pick through!!
This post will mostly be just describing the pictures here.

Zoe absolutely loved meeting with all of the different characters, we had to find Minnie at least once a day.

Dad and Zoe waiting for the roller coaster - al

though she ended up not wanting to ride it when we sat down - she did ride it earlier in the week with Missy.

We are pretty sure Zoe liked the monorail as much as the rides in the park. Here she is with Space mountain in the background.

Gigi was able to come and visit/help for two days. It was so great to have her there and it gave Missy and I to actually sit at the restaurant and eat and see the late fireworks one night.

Zoe made sure he had his stuffed animal from Gigi while he slept.

About 25 yards behind our campsite was the outdoor theatre. Every night at 7:30 cowboy Mark and Chip and Dale had a scripted sing along. Every night we were home at that time, Zoe had to go see Chip and Dale, although she was scared of them the first couple of nights. Me, I'm done with cowboy Mark.

They also showed a disney movie on the screen each night - cute, but thank goodness quiet time started at 10pm and the movie rarely went over that.

While Gigi watched Kes, we had a nice pic with one of the little buggers - Dale. He has the reddish nose, unlike Chips black nose - like a chocolate chip.

Mandatory daily carousel ride - this one with great grandma Gigi.

The pools at the campground - small kiddie pool closest, larger pool with slide behind it. There was also a waterpark for kids under 4 feet tall - Zoe loved it, and it was just on the other side of the theater from our campsite.

Donald's ride in the animal kingdom parade, my personal favorite - he was also towing a boat with it.

Unfortunately the animal kingdom parade was only at 3:45 so this was Zoe passed out during it.

The disney campground is large and amazingly immaculate. The only downside is there is no car parking anywhere except your site - so everyone drives around in golf carts - which disney would be happy to rent to you.

Feeding the ducks at the campsite beach. We made sandcastles but you aren't allowed to swim in the lake??

Climbing the web at the Hollywood studios playground.

Florida=Frogs

Missy left her running shoes out one night and didn't do a frog check before putting them on - she ran the whole time with one under her foot - his poor carcass on her sock is what she noticed when she was done. Zoe was very worried about the frog. :)

Fantasmic show at Hollywood studios and Zoe's new friend from Mississippi - they shared cotton candy until the show started.

Hula hoop action on main street until the afternoon parade started. Zoe pretty much ran up and down the street dancing for everyone lined up - we think she actually thinks they were lined up to watch her.

More cowboy Mark and Chip and Dale.

Zoe's friend from the Hoopdi do review that we bumped into at Epcot a few days later.

Look a little closer Zoe, your penny is down there some where.

Yummy, Disney lollipop and perfomring on the stage in Itlay, Epcot.

She liked the convertable Saab on display at the end of Test Drive ride at Epcot.

The Hoopdy do Review - very similar to the Golden Horseshoe review at Disneyland in the 80s - except now it is a whole lot more expensive, you need reservations days in advance, but you get all you can eat food and bud light. Very entertaining, Kes liked it too - only problem was it was absolutley pooring rain when finished so I got very soaked getting home and driving back to get everyone - then parking illegally in the bus zone to load everyone up.
