Trip to Disney World and Disney Cruise Dec.2011

People often say our family travels a whole lot.. I make no excuses.  Our family trips are so much fun!  and we had to go back to Disney for the 7th or 8th time.. I've lost track of many times we've gone now.  For some reason I could care less to go to Disneyland, been there and done that twice..I had fun, but never felt the magic.  Disney world is the place, where I feel the magic, where I can close my eyes and hear my children's laughter, see their happy facial expressions and feel their emotions as they walk around the parks with glee. I remember just about every detail for every trip I've planned to FL, how I loved dressing Jake and Alex alike, how I always had an itinerary that even included the hrs we should get up everyday, and how I enforced these hours to be on time for everything I had planned.  How we eat at very expensive restaurants with $50.00 of coupons, or how we found round trip tickets from Boise for $100.00  
We'll it's not surprise that we had to visit Disney in 2011.  I needed this trip.  It was after Eryka got married and Dahlia was born.  All the stress of planning a wedding caught up with me and this time we planned a Disney Cruise with Kallie, Shawn and Monica.  The boys couldn't come due to schooling, but I had purchased a ticket and had to cancel a month before sailing away.
Our cruise Disney Dream Cruise took us to the Bahamas, where we had an amazing time visiting "Atlantis" and Disney's own Cast away island.  The Disney cruise was AMAZING!  We had a grand time.  Then after the cruise was over we did Universal and Disney World.. Here is a few pictures:
