We decided to sleep on late this morning. Were up at 7:23. Had a good breakfast and drove to animal kingdom. We are just hanging out for a while.

Do you get to park free when you stay at a Disney hotel? I hate the price the parks charge for parking. With the price of the tickets you’d think they could throw the parking in!
Carmen says
Holy moly, 7:23 is sleeping late!? LOL! Guess everything’s different at Disney. At least you get to ride first thing before the crowds.
ANGELA says
7:30 is definately sleeping in for us to! We are always up enjoying our coffee before our children get up!! It looks like you guys are having a blast!
Jen says
Can’t wait to see what you prefer – the bus or driving. As long as the parking lots aren’t crazy, and parking is inlucded for Disney guests, seems like it is the way to go. I hate folding up those strollers on the bus.
natalie says
7:23 is sleeping in?? I guess at Disney it is. Those morning hours are precious!
Carrie says
We slept in (albeit, much later than you), the last time we went for multiple days. I’ll admit that I felt like we were wasting time, but the kids and my husband definitely needed it. That was when HS was Disney/MGM Studios and we had planned on going there that morning. Turned out it poured for a while, so we didn’t really miss out on anything. Now my kids are 12 and 15 and can’t wait for our next trip so they can see HS, and the shop I used to work in :)
Michelle says
Your daughters smile is so cute and contagious in that picture. You can tell from her smile she is having a blast.
Chris says
Amanda, yes, you do get free parking at the parks and water parks if you are staying at a Disney resort. It’s another great perk :)
Chris says
It looks like everyone is having such a great time!! The memories you have from this trip will stay with you forever!
Clare C. says
Taking such a long Disney vacation must be nice. You probably don’t feel so rushed and can even take a day to “sleep in.”
leah says
Sleeping in is a must-do…even on vacation! :) Love it!
Amber says
I love that ride, goes up and down….better than the coaster across the way!
Melody S says
Looks like everyone is having fun! You are park hoppin fools. . . lol
Amanda @ A Few Short Cuts says
Ok…do tell…do you get free parking since you are staying at a Disney Hotel?? If you do….I may think about driving to the park next time too! I can avoid a crazy bus ride with 3 kids…and a hubby! :)
HeidiR says
I wish I was an early bird like you. Must be nice. I am a night owl.
Ryhan says
i was getting ready for work at 730! Rather be at Disney!
Heather says
LOL! I dont get out of bed before 730 on a normal day. Everyone looks like they are having fun. The pic of your daughter is so cute! Have a fun relaxing day.
Jess says
Glad you got some extra sleep ;-) Enjoy your day!
Becky says
Hey you need a little extra rest ONE day, right?? Enjoy – Love AK! Make sure you hit their awesome safari!
Teri says
My son was a night owl so we always slept in and did the extra hours at night (It was a lot cooler that way too). We we went on Easter one year, MK was open until like 2 in the morning and I think we had the only 3 year old that was riding rides LOL.
Lisa Gray says
Who can sleep late when you at Disney? I know I was up every morning before 6am. Straight over to get some coffee each morning. Have a great time at Animal Kingdom.
Kelly says
Sleeping in is 723 to you guys? I admire you early bird morning people lol
Christine says
Looks like you guys are having a great time . Do your kids know you are a celebrity? Many people are following your trip that must be so neat for you . Are you going to try any of the water parks , if so Typhoon Lagoon is more kid friendly. My favorite water park in Orlando is Aquatic ,but that is @ Seaworld It is a really neat water park. Fort Wilderness has a neat set up there and they also do a campfire and movie every night with a sing a long and smores .really cool. We love it and we are old. HAHA . Have a great time and let me know if you make it to Fort Wilderness . My favorite place to camp.
Michelle C. says
I envy you!
Amy says
Have a great time in Animal Kingdom !! Looks like everyone is happy and relaxed.
ashley says
I love it, 7:23 is considered sleeping in! We leave to Disneyland in a little over 2 weeks. Your posts are making me even more excited. My 3 year old loves checking out all your pictures. Thanks for all your posts from the most magical place on earth!
Lindy says
Looks like you guys are having so much fun! I still cant get out disney trip out of my head now. Thanks so much for all the excitment! Have a blast!!!!
Jenn Z. says
Your little one is precious!!
Tami says
Oh my! 7:30 is your idea of sleeping in? I’d hate to know what your idea of an early morning was!
Jeananne says
It is always good to take a couple of days and rest. It helps with the grumpy’s!
Sara says
Haven’t been to Animal Kingdom yet…looks like a good time! We live only a few hrs away from the Happiest Place on Earth, but haven’t had a chance to do more then Magical Kingdom in 1 day…can’t wait till we can spend a few days up there and really get to relax and enjoy Disney!
Amy P says
You need to take time to just absorb all that Disney Magic! I love reading about your adventure … Have fun at DAK! If you havent planned it, and have time .. be sure to visit DAK lodge and see the animals there too :)
CJ says
I look at sleeping in a bit different but to each their own. It looks like you are having so much fun. And all smiles that early is great.
Marisa says
That isn’t sleeping in! :)
Glenda says
Lazy mornings can’t be beat! We go STRONG at Disney too but always “schedule” in a day or two that we can take easy. After all it is a vacation. LOL.
Enjoy your day at Animal Kingdom!
Glenda
M.A. says
Animal Kingdom is our family favorite!
Jessica O says
I like that your idea of “late” is 7:20.
Becca Filley says
Look like sleeping in made everyone really happy!! Except no picture of Jacob…is he happy today too?
Amanda Johnston says
LOL at “sleeping in” being before 7:30! For us it’d be 9:30!!! Love those lazy days at Disney :).
Karen says
I love lazy mornings while at Disney. Sometimes it gets to busy and you need some down time.
erika says
That is sleeping in for us too when we are at disney! lol great pics!
Sarina Jackson says
Your daughter looks very happy!
Alecia @ Savings & Stewardship says
You daughter is so adorable!! I love this picture of her. I also love that “sleeping in” means being up before 7:30am :).
