The "I Work so I can go on Vacations" Mom (Part 1)

Posted by The Lovebugs at 8:32 AM
Because of last year's awful tragedy, we were able to make most of the money we spent on our vacation back thanks to our travel insurance.  So, we started looking into someplace "new" to spend our annual summer vacation.  The problem was, that all the places we looked into weren't exactly kid friendly for children under 4 (even all-inclusive resorts.)  The closest we came to booking was a resort just outside of Canun, Mexico.  We had everything planned, but we never booked and instead watched the price climb higher and higher!!!  So, naturally we ended up BACK AT DISNEY!!!  We stayed for 5 days on Disney property and then rented a car and drove 3 hours (in the worst thunderstorm imaginable) to visit Big Daddy Lovebug's aunt and uncle in Marco Island, where we stayed a full week.  Because there are so many photos, I am posting the pictures from Disney World on this entry and the ones from Marco Island in the next one.
