Disney All-Stars

We have just returned from our long-awaited family trip to Walt Disney World.  We took this trip with my parents and with the Murray family. While we stayed together for much of the trip, we did do some things separately depending on the interests of the different parties.  (If you like to read about Disney, be sure to check out Hannah's blog as she will be posting about the trip as well.)  I feel that we accomplished a lot in our time at Disney, and I have tons of pictures- so get ready to be bombarded with Disney posts.
 We decided to try a new hotel this time, so we booked a room at the All-Star Movies Resort.  It reminded me a lot of the other value resorts that we've stayed at in the past.  The resort was well-themed with movie paraphernalia.  There was even a little movie screen and chairs in the lobby that the kids could sit in while the adults went through the check-in process.  I thought that was neat.  
Our room was in the 101 Dalmations section close to the Fantasia pool.  Olivia and Owen took advantage of the close swimming opportunities.  On two separate afternoons, the kids went down to the pool to cool off and to participate in the fun pool-side games (where they won three- count them- three whoopie cushions).


 We also enjoyed some time in the hotel arcade.

 Although we liked the hotel a lot, it was pretty much just a place to lay our heads- we were in the parks for the major part of each day.  This was by no means a relaxing vacation- it was pretty much go, go, go.  Now that we're home, I feel that we need a vacation to recover from our vacation.  It was fun, though, so totally worth it.
