A fun night away!

This past week-end we went away for a night and had a fun little family get-away. It was Carver's birthday, plus Father's day week-end, and we just felt like having an adventure. We decided to stay at the Disney Allstar Movie Resort. It is very affordable, and though it is one of Disney's "economy" hotels...IT IS SO FUN FOR THE KIDS. We stayed at Pop Century a couple of years ago and loved it, so we figured this would be a hit with the kids. Carver was so excited to do something so fun for his birthday. We just stayed one night, but we got there in the afternoon, played late into the night, and then stayed for most of the next day. The hotel is themed with a bunch of the Disney movies. Our room was close to the "Toy Story" section of the hotel. A giant "Woody", and "Buzz" greeted us as we came out our door. The kids loved playing on all the huge Toy Story "Stuff". Cooper just went crazy and thought it was all about the coolest thing ever. He would just run from one huge "toy" to another and shout words in his unintelligible language. Kennedy and Carver in front of the HUGE "Buzz".
Cooper loved Buzz's shoes. A favorite climbing spot for him.
Look at these fun Giant building blocks. We put the kids up there...they couldn't get down by themselves...so John and I went and had a nice little evening by ourselves. Okay, we didn't really...but we were tempted. Kinsey hanging on the giant Toy Story door. We figure this is the way all doors look to Cooper.

You've gotta love the "Love bug".

Super fun pool. We swam into the night and the hotel even played the movie "Enchanted" on a big screen as we swam. Talk about having the best of both worlds.

We brought Carver's birthday cake to the hotel, and he also received a special birthday button with his name on it from Disney. He loved being "the birthday boy" (A term he has tried to use every day since).

We sure loved our whole experience at this Disney hotel. It was fun to get away with the family, even if it is just 40 minutes away. I love the warm balmy Florida nights and I will keep such fun memories of my kids swimming, laughing and playing late into the night at this hotel. Only at a Disney hotel do you still find young families going strong in the pool at midnight. Love it!
