Orlando Vacation July 2017 ~ Day 1

Pictures taken July 1 ~
Our family vacation this summer was to Orlando, Florida.  We went to Walt Disney World and Universal Studios!

Elli did great on our flight!

Disney's Magical Express picked us up from the airport and took us to our Disney resort.

We stayed at the Lion King Suite at the Art of Animation Walt Disney World Resort.

The first evening, we went to check out the resort's swimming pools. 

The Finding Nemo pool is the largest resort pool in Walt Disney World Resort.

We also had to go to The Little Mermaid's Flippin' Fins pool since Elli's swimming suit was The Little Mermaid!

Time for some rest (along with Simba!) to get ready for Universal Studios tomorrow!
