Make-a-Wish: Universal Studios and the end!!!

Universal Studios was pretty impressive. We could have easily spent 2 or 3 days there and still not see everything. Well that's how every park was... Our kids only lasted 4-5 hours each day so we feel like we missed a lot! Universal Studios has 2 big parks right next to each other. We did a tiny bit of both parks. There are a lot more thrill rides so the girls couldn't go on them but both parks had a fun kid area! 
One of the best attractions we saw was Optimus Prime! You should have seen Drake. He LOVES transformers and was in complete awe!!!!
Happy Drake
I still cringe when I see the way I looked on the whole trip. Haha! The humidity really did great things to the hair! Lol and my outfit... Well all I can say is I only cared about comfort! And I found a new love for fanny packs! They are the bomb.com! I still use it!!!

There was a fun animal show and all the animals were in different movies. This dog was Gracie and she was in "Spooky Buddies."
This was a character from the SpongeBob show
Big hugs for Curious George
Riding with grandma
I would really like to go back to Universal Studios again and spend some more time there. One day we will be back! This was our last park day! We had such a great time but we were exhausted from all the theme parks! 

We had THE BEST time EVERRRRR on our trip! I still think back and dream about it almost every day! We wish we could do it all over again now that we learned a few tips and tricks! We also are kicking ourselves for not adding on some extra days but oh well! We are so appreciative that Make a Wish granted Laynie a wish and we will cherish the memories made forever. It was a week full of fun and with no worries! We had the most amazing time!!! 

Make-a-Wish: Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom was magical and super crowded! It was shoulder to shoulder walking around but we didn't have to wait in lines so it made it still doable and fun! I didn't get a ton of pictures this day! Our favorite ride of the day was splash mountain! Both Drake and Laynie rode it and loved it!
Drake and his girlfriend Anna! She was really funny and nice and she teased Drake a lot:)
Laynie and the snow queen Elsa
Laynie made a request to go see the mermaid. I was very impressed! So we went right over to see Ariel and when we got there Ariel started signing to Laynie! You should have seen Laynie's face... It was grinning from ear to ear! It was such a magical moment!

Our tiny Minnie!!! 
The Incredibles were pretty incredible to Laynie! They were having a dance party and they found her and Mr. And Mrs. Incredible held her hand and danced with her! 
I can't tell you enough how awesome the characters are to the wish kids. They see them and they basically drop what they are doing and go over to them! Laynie loved all the attention! 
It was a fun and exhausting day at Magic Kingdom!
