Epcot at Night





Nobody does fireworks like Disney!!!

Spaceship Earth



Aaron's favorite ride at Epcot Center was "Spaceship Earth"!

Meet and Greet with Mickey and Pluto

When he met Pluto, Aaron held out his hand to be sniffed, just like you would do with a real dog! It was so cute!
Pluto signing Aaron's autograph book.
A very special hug from Mickey!

Before our trip, a friend told us to get a Disney Visa card because it has perks such as discounts on merchandise at certain stores. Another perk of the card was a exclusive meet and greet with Mickey and Pluto! What a great perk!

A Visit to "Mexico"


While at Epcot we ate lunch in "Mexico".














Aaron really enjoyed the atmosphere. It is like you are sitting outside at night and there is a volcano in the distance. He even bought himself a sombrero and a sucker with his spending money!

Eaten By a Shark!


Epcot Center

Aaron and his friend, Gavin




One of our favorite parts of our trip was the time we spent at Epcot Center. Unfortunately, the first time we visited, James had a migraine and Aaron was cranky. So, we left early. But, after some medicine and a nice long nap, the boys both felt better and we headed back to the park for a fun night of chinese food followed by fireworks! This was also our 13th wedding anniversary. What a way to celebrate!

More Time at the Magic Kingdom


Aaron really wanted a balloon from Disney! We carried it home in the trunk and it is still floating in his room a week later!

Even Daddy got a little silly in the Magic Kingdom!

What's a trip to Disney without a little mouse shaped ice cream?

Yo Ho, Mommy!


Yo Ho! Yo Ho! A Pirate's Life for Me!

Aaron loves all things "pirate". So, of course we had to ride "The Pirates of the Caribbean" when we went to Disney!

Mickey's Toontown Fair


The Haunted Mansion


Aaron's favorite ride at the Magic Kingdom was the Haunted Mansion. He wanted to ride it over and over again! We had to work hard to convince him that there were other things to see and do.

The Magic of the Magic Kingdom!

Our first view of Cinderella's Castle!
With Chip and Dale...

Twas' the Night Before Disney...


Twas' the night before Disney and up in our room...the excitement was growing and starting to bloom! We ate lots of dinner, then early to bed, while visions of Mickey danced in our heads!

The Garrises Go to Disney!

We stopped to learn a little bit of military history at the "Mighty 8th Air Force Museum" in Savannah, Georgia.
No trip is complete without a stop at "South of the Border" which may be the tackiest place on earth!
Aaron and "Cub" snuggled up in the backseat to get ready for the long drive to Florida!
We left for our trip to Disney at 4:37 am. This was totally James' idea, not mine!
