The Reynolds Rap: February 2015

January 2015

Kipton 3 & Kaden 2 1/2 Months

When Marmie and Poppy said they were taking us to Disney World for our Christmas present, I don't know who was more excited me or Kipton. (probably me because Kipton didn't have a clue what he was in for) It was so much fun! We had a great time and can't wait to go back again. Both Kipton and Kaden were troopers the whole time. Kaden went with the flow and had a pretty easy schedule of eating and sleeping. Kipton napped in the stroller when needed and enjoyed every ride we went on.

Kipton's favorite rides:

Of course you can't just pick one thing at Disney World, so I've divided it into parks.

Magic Kingdom: toss up between Dumbo and the Barnstormer rollercoaster. Dumbo had a lever that you could control to make it go up and down so that was a major plus. For the rollercoaster, we were a little worried that it would scare you, but you screamed the whole time (a good scream) and asked to ride it multiple times.

Animal Kingdom: The Safari ride and your favorite show was probably Lion King.

Epcot: Crush Talk. Definitely. That was a parental favorite too.

Hollywood Studios: Toy Story Mania and being able to shoot a gun.
Best Overall Experience: The parade and meeting Mickey Mouse of course.

People say don't take kids because they won't remember it . . . . I say your missing out on the joy of seeing the magic in your kids eyes. (as cheesy as that sounds)

Kiptons first plane ride. Marmie bought Kip a suitcase just for him that he looked so cute toteing around the airport.

First trip on an Airplane for both Kipton and Kaden. They did awesome! I'm almost scared to do it again for fear of jinxing the experience.

First night at the Hotel. We stayed at Disney's Art of Animation in a Lion King room

Uncle Matthew was very good at reading stories every night. He does a very good Captain Hook impression. ;)

Day One: Magic Kingdom

Bus ride to Magic Kingdom

First stop, Magic Kingdom on the awesome stroller

Daddy has his Mickey Coffee mug ready to conquer the day

Cinderella's Carousel

Riding Peter Pan. This was one of Kipton's favorites and Kaden even got to partake in the flying, pirate ship festivities

First ride was the Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

Just being silly with daddy

"Hey there's no line for It's a Small World, let's go ride that one"

There is a reason there wasn't a line and Matt's face says it all

Recommendation: skip IASMW unless you are a foreigner and just want to do it for the experience. Kaden was NOT a fan of the flutes and horns throughout the entire ride.

Even Kipton seems a little unsure . . .

First character sighting in the parade

"I see Mickey!"

These were his binoculars he kept looking through to see everyone

Another favorite of the parade was the dragon from Sleeping Beauty

Even Kaden was awake for the Parade

It was starting to rain during the parade so a lot of people left. Of course we didn't so we waited it out and then got to ride on Dumbo numerous times without waiting in line.

Even Daddy was enjoying himself!
