MGC Disney Trip


Disclaimer---MCG stands for Mean Girls Club.  That nickname was given to us years ago and it stuck.  We don't care...we like it, we own it, deal with it.

This Disney trip has been in the making for a while.  It has been planned for a while and seemed like it would never get here. This was the Locke Family's first visit and we were so glad we were there to watch their kids get excited and enjoy this place as much as we do.  Lynn and Jason had always said if they go, they wanted us to take them so that we could show them around and such.  I hope we didn't disappoint.   We had so much fun.  Three families...four days...tons of craziness.

Nothing like a 1:30am wake up call.  Don't they look tired? 

Again, isn't this the most beautiful thing you have ever seen?  Best. Marriage. Ever.

First ride of the day! We had to send it to Auntie Noelle.  Toy Story Manier!

PARTY OF 15!!!!!!!!  Right after we all met up for the first time.  So exciting!!! 

Second ride together!!  (The first one was Goofy's Sky School and the only memory I took away from that was Lynn's mom Diana screaming at the top of her lungs the entire time and me laughing hysterically trying to watch her since they were behind us.)   

Diana and Kirsten!  So darling.  Diana was a trooper!  She just got back from a trip to Paris and she just went with the flow.  It was so great to have her on the trip.

Matt's first ride on California Screaming!  Jason too.  I cannot ride this ride anymore.  I don't know who I am kidding when I think I can ride this.  Every time I get off I say that I am never going do ride it again, and then I cave to peer pressure and not wanting to look like a wimp in front of my nine year old. 

View from our room...this never gets old.

First night in the park.  It's Halloween Time!!!  And it's time to test out my new phone's camera night settings.

Halloween Time!

 
Practicing the panoramic!  Work in progress, people.

Late night driving on Autopia! 

My driving partners.  Me, Colson and Ryan.  Love these two!

Night ride to the Haunter Mansion. 

The Haunted Mansion at Halloween makes the Haunted Mansion non-Halloween look like a joke.

Let me tell you how much the Locke's and Guido's were troopers that first day.  The Sunday that we got there was the only day the park was open late until midnight and we told them to pace themselves and rest well because we were shutting the place down.  It was the only night they would be able to see fireworks and Fantasmic.  


I'm not going to lie...kind of became obsessed with taking pictures at night.
 
 
New Starbucks on Main Street. 




The next day we started out early.  With the park only being open until 8:00pm, we had to make good use of our time.

Before we got on Radiator Springs.
 
The Three Amigos!

Freaks!  (Cute freaks)

I love this picture...Colson trying to make Vinnie smile.

Anthony and I swapping pics.


Bumper cars with Dad.
 
This is just funny.  She is just funny.

Mrs. Locke leading a game of Simon Says while we wait for our ride back.  A cast member asked if we were family and we answered no.  She said, I can tell because they are all getting along.

The kids....and Kelly.

Jedi training.  Dillon was picked and loved it, but unfortunately Camden and Colson were not.  Oh well, this is excuse enough for them to have to come back.

Getting better...
 
Dinner at the House of Blues on our last night. 

BFF's

Cars Land at night.



Alright, last one.  I think it turned out pretty good. 

This is my absolute favorite picture of the trip.  How do you not love this little love bug who is laying in his stroller periodically sticking out his tongue to lick his ice cream cone, while being pushed around.  This friends...is the life.
 
Last morning.  Nothing like being in line at 6:55am!!  Someone needs to break Rich's alarm clock.

Solo Screaming!  He went from being terrified to going on it to wanting to ride it alone...since neither Rich or I would go on it.

The boys and Leah on RS for the last time.


Last ride of the trip.  They all still love each other.

Five minutes after we got in the car to head home.  To be completely honest, I was out cold after taking this. 
 
So, there it is.  Hopefully the first of many MGC trips to the Mouse's House!  When we get back all of the group pics that we ordered, I will share those too.
