Last summer, we planned a Disney World vacation to Fort Wilderness Resort. You have to book fairly far in advance there! Little did we know we’d have a larger RV to haul down to Florida. When we traded up our smaller trailer for more room, we decided we’d treat our sister, niece and nephew to a Disney vacation since they had never been. I’m such a big Disney fan that it hurts my heart when others haven’t had the opportunity to go! We decided to surprise them on Christmas Day, and they were fairly speechless! Ever since then, we’ve been counting down the days!

With our family, you can guarantee the trip departure time will be about 2 hours later than originally planned. We left Glen Allen with a Yukon full of 3 adults, 3 kids, and 3 full grown Labrador Retrievers pulling a 32 foot travel trailer. Yeah, we’re totally up for some crazy adventures! Here’s some photo highlights of our trip! Note: Some of them are not my images, but our PhotoPass images that were totally worth the extra splurge!

The first day at Disney is always at the Magic Kingdom!
