Disney World

We went to Disney World in Florida!!  It was amazing--and something we have been looking forward to for a long time!  We went with all of our Ming family--everyone was there.  

One of the most festive things we participated in was "Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party."  We all dressed up in costumes and had a Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom.  The parade was such spooky fun and we got lots of candy from trick-or-treating.

We also went to Hollywood Studios.  Brett was part of "The American Idol Experience" and performed on stage.  It was a great memory.  There was also a rain storm in the early evening which was kind of scary for us all, but mostly for Ace because thunderstorms are his greatest fear.  But once Pop purchased Mickey ponchos--they were not afraid any more!

This was Ace's favorite ride--Toy Story Mania

More costumes for the Halloween Party

Epcot!  We loved Epcot!  There certainly was not enough time to see everything that Epcot has to offer.  We will have to go back and explore every nook and cranny of each country.  We did eat empanadas and that made us happy.

Maisy dressed like Mulan and was very happy when she actually met and had a picture with Mulan!

We stayed at Saratoga Springs Resort in the Treehouse Villas.  It was beautiful.  We had a truly magical time and many many magical memories were made.  Everyone was so much fun on the trip and so helpful and patient.   Thank you to Grammy and Pop who made this trip possible!  We LOVE our family!

Some of our favorite memories were Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party!  Jaron and Amber's awesome costumes, and people thinking Jaron and Amber were "cast members" and wanting their picture taken with them :)  Also, Olive's face on the big screen when she was "Boo" during Monster's Inc.  And, don't forget the time Brett retrieved the wrong stroller--he strapped Doodle into and everything.  And of course--the barfing!!  After we saw Channa in the airport holding a bag of puke, Maisy was so paranoid she was going to throw up that she rode on the plane with a barf bag over her mouth the whole trip home.  People would walk by her and look very worried--then they would look at me and I would just shrug my shoulders.  Luckily she did not throw up.And many many more fun memories.  Wilson got emotional when he had to say good-bye to the Cali Ming's.  That is saying a lot for him :)
