We are back from an amazing first WDW family trip! Follow us while we look back on a trip full of new adventures, awesome meals, lots and lots of character meets, magic and some pixie dust, and large crowds... although we didn’t let that prevent us from having fun!

Before we begin, a quick summary of the basics:
The characters:
Me, 34 year old mom of two amazing kids, Disney lover since childhood and recently converted Disney addict!
Favorite park: MK, followed closely by Epcot
Favorite ride: Soarin
Favorite characters: Minnie Mouse and Rapunzel
DH, 35 year old dad, has been to WDW once as a child but is developing a growing love for Disney (for which I live him even more!)
Favorite park: Animal Kingdom
Favorite ride: Frozen
Favorite character: Grumpy
DS5, 5 year old boy, lover of all things Disney but especially the Toy Story franchise. He is a sweet boy and a great big brother, so he happily followed along with all the princess M&G (even tough he preferred meeting « the boys »!)
Favorite park: animal kingdom
Favorite ride: Frozen and Soarin, and the Safari
Favorite character: Peter Pan
DD2, 2 1/2 years old - soon to be 3 -, she is our sparkly, happy girl, she is excited about everything but mostly about meeting characters!
Favorite park: MK
Favorite ride: the parade (yes, I know it’s not a « ride »)
Favorite character: Minnie Mouse and Tinkerbell
We were joined by two other family members for the first part of the trip:
GM or grandma, my mother, who was as excited as I was to experience WDW with us!
GP or grandpa, my dad, who was initially coming along with my mom but who enjoyed it a lot more than he thought!
When: February 22-28, 2020
Where: split stay; Pop Century 22-25, Boardwalk Villas Studio 25-28
Why: we wanted to get a trip while DD2 is still free, and while our kids are young enough to believe in the Disney Magic! And we definitely got our money’s worth of magic!
