Our 2013 Trip to Disneyworld, Part I

February 6, 2013 By Katy 10 Comments

I’m baaaaaaccccccckkkk.

Yes, folks, we survived and thrived during our 2013 trip to Disney World. A good time was had by all and no ducklings were ripped to shreds in front of our eyes by a giant hawk.

(Seriously, there is NO WAY that the Pool of Death story from last year can ever be topped. Let’s just make that clear.)

But going to Disneyworld is like going to a wedding. It’s a big, dramatic event where everyone’s pumped up and inevitably something goes wrong.

Like picture taking.

Consider the pictures below.

In 2009, I took a picture of my two-year-old daughter with Winnie the Pooh.

Sounds sweet, right?

Wrong!

Or there’s 2011, the year daughter was in love with Rapunzel. I waited in line for 90 minutes for her chance to meet Rapunzel. And, because my son was only 7 at the time, there was no way I was letting him wonder aimlessly through the park while Dad and I took pictures of his sister with Rapunzel.

So he had to meet Rapunzel and Flynn, too.

He was thrilled. Obviously.

Then there was this year.

We tried Fantasia mini golf for the first time.

We wanted a picture to commemorate the occasion.

Who knew that it was just a little TOO sunny for a successful picture?

Not me.

But NOW I know I should have looked for some shade.

Oh, well, lesson learned!

I’ve got Part II of our 2013 Trip to Disneyworld coming up in a few days. See you real soon!

    Welcome back!!! Love the pics! Classic. I feel your pain. Now I have two, it is way more difficult to get everyone looking at the camera + smiling + staying still all at the same time. Mission Impossible.

      We finally had a family portrait done this fall. Out of 1,000 shots, about 3 were decent of all 4 of us.

    My daughters are 15 and if any mascot or character of any kind came near them, they’d freak just like your daughter did….as a toddler.

    It’s so nice to have a tradition so fabulous!!!

    Great photos Katy! I can very much relate to the family portrait fun… we don’t update our photos down the hall often for a reason. Glad you are back safe and sound and hope you get a change to rest from all that vacationing! Or is it just me who comes home from them more tired than when we left?
