The next day we arrived at Ft Wilderness which is the campground for Disney World. This is probably one of the nicest RV campgrounds in the country. The cost is not cheap, but it is considerably less than a hotel suite. We also were able to save some money by cooking most of our meals at "home" while we were there.
The first day, I took the older kids to Magic Kingdom while Mom and Dad took the little boys. WE first went to Space Mountain before the lines got too long, but after waiting an hour and about 5 minutes from our turn, the fire alarm went off and the entire building was evactuated.
After a few more rides, the temperature was climbing and the crowds growing pretty thick, we went back to the trailer for lunch and a nap. Later that evening we all went back to the park to see a few more rides. This time we had a "fastness" for Space Mountain so we didn't have to wait long at all. I've never ridden a roller coaster that I couldn't see the track before, it was a lot of fun.
We got a picture of the whole family in front of Cinderella's Castle before the little guys went back to the campsite with Grandma and Grandpa.
At the end of the night we enjoyed the fireworks show and headed back for a well earned rest.
The next day we lounged around through the morning before heading to Epcot around noon. Laura, Clint and I were scheduled to scuba dive at the aquarium. It was a great experience scuba diving in front of an audience. My parents brought the younger boys so they could see us through the window.
Thursday was Patricks 9th Birthday. The little boys were pretty over done with the theme parks, so I took the older kids to Disney Hollywood Studios. We enjoyed the rides and shows, I even broke my "no gift shop stuff" rule for Patrick since it was his birthday. Grandma bought a cake for Patrick and we celebrated his birthday.
Friday, we drove over to Clearwater Marine Aquarium to see the dolphins from the movie, and then drove to Sarasota to visit with a couple of my friends college.
Saturday was a hot day, but we enjoyed swimming and exploring the campground before packing up to leave on Sunday.
