Bonnet Creek and Disney with the Schmitts!

The best part of our trip was having the Schmitts all together at Wyndham Bonnet Creek which is on Disney property.  Carrie, Nate, Molly, Anna and Nate's parents Willy and Lisa flew in on Saturday.  We went to Mass and then a spectacular grocery shopping trip at Walmart--wouldn't go there again.  It was way too crowded.  The food worked out great with Carrie's preplanning of all the meals and her shopping lists.  Sunday was just getting settled in and enjoying activities at the resort.  There was a bouncy house on the lawn for the girls Sunday morning.  The daily ice cream sundaes were always a treat!  The girls loved feeding the fish at the resort!  Having two sets of grandparents there was such a help with the girls.  It was really a pleasure having everyone together!

Monday the younger Schmitts took off for the Magic Kingdom with their fast passes all ordered way ahead and planned out.  Tuesday all of us went to Epcot and enjoyed a great day.  The girls loved the fountains, Soar'in, Nemo, the Lands, and
street entertainment.  The Frozen ride was not operational so Nate and Carrie were able to get 7 fast passes to come back another day.  Wednesday was a needed day of relaxation at the pool with games, lazy river and the hot tub. 








We were all at the Magic Kingdom on Thursday.  It was the most crowded but with Carrie's Disney app, fast passes, picnics we took, we were able to see so much and went home tired!  Friday was Animal Kingdom and we all really enjoyed that.  The Safari, Lion King show, Birds of Prey, Bugs life and the street performers were our favorites!





Saturday was 80 degrees and so much fun at the resort--swimming most of the day and then to Disney Springs at around 5pm after church.  Sandwiches at Earl of Sandwich was perfect.  The girls loved the Disney store and spent quite a bit of time how to spend Anna's $6 of allowance she has saved up.  She was so sweet and wanted to buy something Molly liked.  Of course nothing there is six dollars so Nate and Carrie chipped in some and the girls with thrilled with their "Tangled" figures.

Ghirardelli chocolate store free samples and hot chocolate are always a must stop for us.  At 7 pm the audience participation hula hoop and dance contest starts.  We all loved watching this especially after Anna and Carrie entered the dance contest which featured 20 different dances.  Anna was in heaven!  It was a perfect evening!



Monday night at Bonnet Creek resort there was a great comedy magic show.  We all enjoyed it.  This is a picture of the magician pulling a bunch of cards out of his mouth.  Anna was entranced!


The ten days went by so quickly and a good time was had by all!  It was just perfect!  Can't wait to do it again!
