Disney, Disney, Disney - February 22-23, 2009!

Tanek continued his birthday celebration at Disney on Sunday and Monday. Mom, Meme Anita, and I took him to all 4 parks in two days! We started out at Animal Kingdom where Tanek got to see Minnie, Goofy, and Pluto. He got to see Pluto up close, but we couldn't get pictures because he was leaving for a photo shoot. Tanek didn't really care about the pictures, he was just excited to see him. Pluto is his new favorite character. We did get pictures with Minnie and Goofy, though.

Sunday night we went to the Magic Kingdom for the fireworks and extra magic hours. Tanek decided it was nap time on the bus ride over and then proceeded to sleep through the fireworks. We woke him up to eat dinner and then he was ready for the rest of the night. We rode all of his favorite rides until midnight before calling it a night. Here are pictures of some of the fireworks, although pictures don't do them justice.


We thought the reflection of the castle in the water was really pretty at night.
Here is Tanek at the room before we left for the Magic Kingdom. As you can see, he is all decked out and ready to see Mickey Mouse!
"It's dark in here, I can't see, where'd Tanek go?" "Here I am!" This is Tanek's new game that he thinks is sooo funny!
Tanek sleeping through the fireworks. He had to have been really out to not wake up with all of the noise.
This is the Pop Century Resort where we stayed. We were in the 1970's section which had the huge Mickey Mouse phone, foosball, and Big Wheel. Tanek was especially fond of the big wheel since he has one just like it, only much smaller!

We also introduced Tanek to Mr. and Mrs. Potatohead.
On Monday, we went to Hollywood Studios so Tanek could see Playhouse Disney Live! which is one of his favorite things to do. He loves seeing the characters from his favorite shows! Of course, we also went to see Towie and Mine, too. Then we went to Epcot, rode Spaceship Earth, and ate at the restaurant in Mexico before coming home. All in all, we all had a great time. Having Meme Anita with us made it so much more fun, probably because she gets as excited as Tanek does about anything Disney! Tanek got even more spoiled with all of the toys we bought him. He especially loves his toy disney buses because that is his absolute favorite "ride" at disney - riding the disney bus! Meme Anita had pictures of us taken with Mine and Towie and then bought us a picture frame with Mine and Towie on it as a momento of our trip. Thank you for the memories Meme Anita! We had such a good time and can't wait to go again!

I didn't think I would ever like Disney so much, but we really had a great time. Meme Anita and I are ready to go again and I know a little boy that is always ready to go. He really had a "magic" birthday.
