Wonderful trip report! You are an awesome mom to take on a long drive like that with two young children, and you organize and plan everything so well. Your children are such good travelers! I definitely see how driving is worth it though with how high airline fares can get; and it also allows you to pack all the stuff you want.
I can't believe how big your son has gotten! He is such a big boy now with his Kindle, flirtatious moves and all! Your daughter is growing up to be such a beautiful young lady. I love that she still wants to do BBB and enjoy that experience while she can as childhood is so fleeting these days. The outfit you picked out for her BBB makeover is beautiful. I love those tutu skirts your DD wore throughout the trip. I also think it is so nice how you got to take your time and explore the World Showcase side of Epcot. That is something we haven't done a great deal of. My crew is very ride oriented so we end up spending most of our time at the Future World side of Epcot and only briefly visit a couple countries in the World Showcase. On our trip this past May we only got to explore China (my kids wanted to see the acrobatic performers) and Mexico (we all wanted to do the Donald Duck boat ride). On our 2011 trip we did one of our two Epcot days on our arrival afternoon and just briefly explored Canada, the UK, and France that evening before finding a spot to watch Illuminations. I also love your pics of the Jammin Jungle Parade at AK. We had the chance to experience this parade for the first time on our recent trip and it was so much fun! I am happy that the weather was better on your trip this year after what you experienced last year with tropical storm Debby. Glad you had a magical trip!
