Here's a quick recap of

our trip to Disney...

I'm not sure what spurred this trip on...

Craig worked out all the details 

and I just enjoyed it all - lol.

 And yes.

We took #LottieScotty along...

 These photos are random...

and in random order...

We had dinner at Animal Kingdom Lodge 
[Jiko, and gotta say, we're not a fan...
 I know. I KNOW. Everyone loves it....]
and it was so fun to see the animals out the windows...

 MGM. Oops. Hollywood Studios.

The Storm Troopers are taking over!

 As many times as we've been...

I've never seen the dino opened for service...

And decorated for Christmas, no less!

Tip: We learned to use the pre-order for counter-service meals - 

SUCH A GREAT IDEA.

 Animal Kingdom - 

Pandora was beautiful

AND delicious!!

 Animal Kingdom at night is a whole different park. 
VERY cool.

 And fun to share with friends!
Although, we were all a little tired on this bus ride back to camp - 

 Y'all know I love Timon.

So the Lion King show is ways a must-see!

 Seeing the tree come alive at.night was sooooo neat too!!
Next time I'll need to plan to get a video of it.
Loved it.

 Pandora at night is just enchanting! 

I could hang out there for a while...

and might have done just that - lol

 We always take a little time away from the parks 
so we enjoyed a quick dip in the pool at the campground... 
it was refreshing since the temps were in the 90s the entire week!

 We found a new place to view the fireworks!!

Also REALLY enjoyed our meal at The Wave.

-- Probably the best food we've had at Disney in a while! 

Although... The Mexican place at Disney Springs was mighty good too!

 [So fun walking under monorails...

--- I know. I'm weird.]

 We saw  fireworks here... at the boat docks, 

outside the Coronado Resort [all three parks!] 

and of course the Christmas fireworks at the 

Very Merry Christmas Party.... 

those were SO BEAUTIFUL.

 But we took time to enjoy some quiet moments too...

The full moon was gorgeous over the lagoon.

 Loved the water parade and it will always remind us 
of how it woke us up the first time we camped 
[We were exhausted with a five and eight year old.] 
And also makes us think of seeing it with MK too!

 We ate our.way around the world at Epcot's food and wine festival... 

Had mighty good shrimp and crab cakes...

Omgoodness... 

we've enjoyed Disney with these friends for over twenty years!

Lottie made the trip down just fine... 

we did scrape her bumper a bit at one point... but she's good.

We had people follow us 

as we were going into the campground, 

just to ask questions...

It was a great trip.
I enjoy being at Disney - 
It's the happiest place on earth, after all...

But.

 I'm pretty sure he loves Disney a little 

[A LOT]

more than me...

And that's okay.

I love our adventures together!
