Disney World

For our fall break we decided to go to Disney World! The first time for the kids (and Matt), so we were all very excited when the magic bands arrived in the mail!



We arrived on a Saturday afternoon and checked into the Polynesian hotel. We went to the luau dinner and then hung out by the pool with the Baggetts and watched fireworks from the hotel beach.

Day 3: Typhoon Lagoon: 

We were able to spend the day with the Baggetts at Typhoon Lagoon! I only took one photo because I couldn't carry my phone around. It was a really fun day, but it rained and got pretty cold for while, which was hilarious.
