Disney 2008

Alyssa's Dad won a trip to Disney for being the top manager in his company. He invited Alyssa, Sonny and I to come along. It was an awesome trip! It was not only Alyssa's first time to Disney, but mine and Sonny's as well! We had a blast! Here is Alyssa posing by the statues outside our hotel, Port Orleans - French Quarter.
Oh no, oh no...Alyssa is in trouble! :-)
Alyssa with her Dad.
She is such a ham when it comes to taking pictures!
This picture is classic!

We went on an African Safari (a ride in Animal Kingdom). The animals were so close. This was with NO zoom on my camera!
I am not sure what Sonny was doing! No telling!
The Tree of Life at Animal Kingdom. There are animals carved into the trunk of this tree.
Alyssa, Dan and Sonny being silly!
I think the cups were attacking one another!

This was at Fulton's Crab House where we had dinner in Downtown Disney. It was very rainy this night!

Waiting to get in to Epcot. We were at the very front of the line. Thanks "Tour Guide Mike" for all your wonderful advise!
She thought she was too old to hang with the characters! I caught her posing for a picture.
This ride, Soarin', was the ride that made Alyssa decide she wanted to parasail. It was a simulator of parasailing and it was AWESOME! It was by far our favorite ride!
Alyssa at the dancing fountains at Epcot.

Here she is again by the pool!
This pool was really nice and had a great slide!

We had dinner at Cinderella's Castle at the Magic Kingdom. It was really cool! Here she is with Cinderella.

Getting in line for Space Mountain. Alyssa overcame her roller coaster fears on this trip! She is now, truly, her mom's daughter and a thrill seeker!

Hmmm...I don't remember which entrance this is. I think it is Hollywood Studios!
The Minnie ears don't really fit in this picture!

Here she is with another pose!

Alyssa actually rode this monster of a roller coaster...three times. Mom was pretty sick at the end of the day!
Germany in Epcot. Alyssa's grandmother is from Germany, so we got lots of pictures here!
