3 Year Anniversary- Disney Style!!

Rusty and I celebrated our three year wedding anniversary in Disney! We had a great romantic night in Epcot- walking around the world showcases is always a good time!
We had dinner at La Hacienda de San Angel (Mexican restaurant) which was super yummy. The food was delicious and it offered a good viewing of illuminations.
My only complaint was our seat.... when we booked our reservation we informed them that it was going to be our anniversary and we would like a window seat since we had a 8pm reservation (just enough time to watch the 9pm illumination show). We also called when we arrived to Disney to state the above and informed them at the hostess station when we checked in. We were disappointed when we were sat in a table with NO view of the windows/fireworks at ALL! I was very upset, so my wonderful hubby went to the manager to request another table. We were not able to get another table right away, but the manager did clear a table for us to sit at just for the fireworks.... not totally the same thing but it worked! Once the show was over we headed back to our table just in time for our food to be done :)
Overall, it was a wonderful experience with some really good food (but we might be partial, we love Mexican food) and it was a great anniversary! I look forward to many, many more years to come with wonderful Disney Vacations!!!

Happy 40th Anniversary MK!

Rusty and I were lucky enough to experience Magic Kingdom's 40th anniversary celebration. It is hard to believe that the most magical place has been open for 40 years!!!
We were not able to celebrate at the Magic Kingdom in the morning due to other plans but we were able to enjoy the evening at the park!
We had dinner at Tony's Town square around 7pm and were finished just in time to enjoy the fireworks! It was sooooo crowded, like 4th of July crowded but the fireworks were amazing!!
After the fireworks we enjoyed the main street electrical parade and then spent the rest of the night enjoying some of our favorite MK rides!!!
Enjoy the pictures :)


Look at all of those people!


Every where you turned, there were five more people!


Castle, so pretty at night!


Fireworks


Again, I got lucky catching this one!


I could watch these fireworks every night!


So Pretty


Parade time.... I don't have too many pictures, but it was great!

It was awesome to experience the 40th anniversary celebration, something I am sure we will remember for many years to come. I hope I will be able to celebrate the 80th celebration in another 40 years.... that will make me 66! I am sure I will love Disney just as much then as I do now :)

Disney's Old Key West Resort!

I have been a total slacker since I came home from Disney.... I really need to start blogging about our amazing trip!
So, here it goes :)

We stayed at the Old Key West- it was amazing! It is one of the Disney Vacation Club resorts, actually it is the very first vacation club resort they opened. It is based on the Florida Keys and truly makes you feel like you are on a tropical vacation! It is considered one of the downtown Disney resorts and provides a nice boat ride over to downtown Disney.

Our room was located right off the hospitality house and less than a 30 second walk to bus stop, which was wonderful. Nothing beats closer to the bus stop after a long day at the parks!

We had a two bedroom villa that we shared with another couple. There were two bedrooms- one master with a king size bed and another room with two queen beds. There were two bathroom, the master had a stand up shower and Jacuzzi tub. There was also a large living room area with a dining room and kitchen. You could also sleep more people in the living room if needed. The room also had a balcony with a outside table, ceiling fan, and beautiful view of the golf course.

There were several pools on the property, the main pools and quiet pools. We were close by to the main pool which had an awesome water slide along with a play area for children, huge sand area, tennis courts, and a fire pit.

The resort has a sit down restaurant, Olivia's, which services breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We didn't try it out, but it always smelled good. There are two counter services available which we did try, they have your basic Disney counter services (think burgers, salads, and sandwiches). There is also the Generals Store which was stocked with food, drinks, and everything you would need at Disney!

Here are some pictures that we took of the resort and inside our room!

I loved all the palm trees!!

Overall, we LOVED Old Key West and will definitely be staying there again. The rooms were very spacious and well decorated. Our only complaint was the multiple bus stops, we were the first bus stop to be picked up and it took about 15 mins to ride around the resort. Not the end of the world, but not always fun!!

Back to Reality....

Well all good things must come to an end, and that means our Disney vacation too! I can't believe 9 days and 8 nights went by that quickly!!
We had such a good time...... I will be sure to do more posts about our trip over the next couple of weeks.
I will leave you with a couple of pictures from our trip, we had so much fun.... we are already planning our next trip- ha!~
