We just returned from our latest trip to Walt Disney World! We had so much fun this time around. We stayed at the Polynesian, which is one of my favorites anyway. We got to upgrade a bit thanks to my wonderful mother-in-law, and had the Magic Kingdom view plus concierge service! Talk about being spoiled! We had breakfast every morning, snacks and beverages throughout the day, appetizers and wine in the evening, and mini desserts and cocktails at night. Such a treat! 
We left last Friday evening (which was the last day of school) and drove through the night. It was surprisingly easy, especially since all the kids were fast asleep by about 10 pm and slept through the night. I slept off and on while Mike drove, and then took over the driving through southern Georgia and northern Florida. We arrived in Orlando at about 8:30 am - it took under 14 hours to drive the entire way! I was surprised to learn that we were upgraded to the club level when we arrived, although Mike knew ahead of time.
Our first stop was to get a bite to eat at the Kona Cafe! They have this amazing dish called Tonga Toast! Basically, it's this ginormous french toast stuffed with bananas and covered with cinnamon and sugar. Oh my! It's wonderful! Matthew and I shared a piece because there was no way that either one of us could finish it all!
Soon after eating, Mike's mom arrived and we checked in. We decided to hold off going to the parks right away because we knew the kids were going to be exhausted, so instead, we went to the pool. The kids played in the pool for awhile and then we went back to the room for much needed naps. When everyone woke up it was raining, but we decided to not let it stop us, and hit the Magic Kingdom. We really just took in all the sights, but then headed over to Buzz Lightyear. Caileigh loved this, especially since she is really into the Toy Story movies. The kids then wanted to ride the race cars at the Speedway. We then called it an early night because we were beat from the long drive and the lack of sleep!
