As expected, Abby loved the fairies!


Abby was amazed by Tinkerbell. Only one problem, she sprinkled a little too much fairy dust on my two year old, and like a helium balloon, up, up and away went Abby. Al and I were running all around the magic kingdom like maniacs looking for her. We finally found her having tea with Mary Poppins nearby Cinderella's Castle. Phew!
Needlesstosay, Abby enjoyed herself, and we all slept very well on the plane ride home.

IllumiNations - 25th Anniversary spectacular!

Click here to see for yourself! The Beach Club resort was a short walk from Epcot. It was amazing to see Abby's face during the fireworks. Each night, we got a little closer to the action! She loved the noises and colors. Disney sure knows Magic!!!

Fun Packed Days! Tired Bartelloni Family!

The Bartelloni Disney World: Day-by-Day!

Day 1: We departed Neward via Continental Airlines and arrived in Orlando Florida. Great flight and Abby especially enjoyed the free peanuts on board!





To the Beach House to check in! We were able to enjoy a little time at the pool and Ice Cream sundaes. Then off to the Fireworks at Epcot. They were awesome! Soon enough we were pretty tired and headed back to the room to bed! Early day tomorrow.





Day 2: Much more rested with a full day ahead, we really got to enjoy the park! Abby especially loved the Dumbo ride! Great times with Aunt Nikki (who just happened to be in the Magic Kingdom) Lots of fun! Sampled some food on Main Street USA and saw the Hall of Presidents. Wonder who will be added to the collection our next trip to Disney? Hmmmm.





Back to the hotel for a dip in the pool and off to The United Kingdom for Bangers and Mash dinner! Caught IllumiNations again and back to the hotel for some sleep.





Day 3: Wow. This weekend flew by. We couldn't believe it was over. Just enough time to jump on Fast Track and the Tower of Terror...both of which Abby and I did NOT like! Follow that with a turbulant plane ride. Ugh! Still, the Bartelloni Family got home safely and used Monday to recover from all the exhausting events. What a great weekend.

Floating in the pool and checking out fireworks!


The trip was jam packed with fun. I think Abby really enjoyed relaxing in the pool! What a great pool at the Beach Club Resort. Every bit of it had a sand bottom. We purchased our noodles and floated around in circles for hours...still, we didn't miss out on the parks! Hopper passes were a great asset! We hopped too and fro all day. Each night, we caught the IllumiNations Fireworks display. It was great! We caught a ton of shows. To the left, you can see Abby really enjoyed the fireworks!

We just got back!

...and it was incredible! For a teacher to escape in October to the magical world of Disney was incredible! Let me tell you, we had a magical time! Please, enjoy my pictures!
