Our son has been to Hong Kong Disneyland and Disneyland in Anaheim, CA. But he has never been to Disneyworld in Florida. So for our big trip this year is to take him to Disneyworld and short cruise to the Bahamas on the new Disney ship – Dream.
My son is getting better being on a plane. Our flight from SFO to MCO (Orlando) is pretty long because of a connecting flight from Kansas City. Since he has been pretty good sitting on a plane for hours, we can start taking international trips again.
Nathan all ready to head to Disneyworld!
In Kansas City waiting for our connecting flight to Orlando
Finally made it to Orlando!
Putting on the MagicBand which is a beta test phase. The MagicBand is something new Disney is working on. The band will work as your room key, is good to make purchases, is good to reserve fastpasses, etc. For now, only selected guests get to use the MagicBand.
On the Disney Express bus to take us from the airport to our first hotel – Animal Kingdom Lodge
Instead of staying at one hotel at the Walt Disneyworld Resort, we decided to stay at two hotels: Animal Kingdom Lodge and Beach Club.
At the Animal Kingdom Lodge:
We had a view of the safari:
Nathan loved going on the slide and swimming at the Animal Kingdom Lodge pool:
At the Beach Club:
I think the pool at the Beach Club is better than the pool at the Animal Kingdom Lodge:
Some pics with the Disney characters:
Nathan is tall enough to get on bigger rides!

We were at Disneyworld from Aug 31 – Sept 8. From Sept 8 – 12, we went on Disney Dream to the Bahamas!
Disney Dream took us to Nassau and Castaway Cay. At Nassau, we just walked around and I did some shopping.
At Castaway Cay, we did a lot of swimming.
I love the last pic of your guys. A happy family! Nathan looks a lot like you.
