The Adventures of Jax and Co.: Disney

First for my complaints while I still remember a few

1. No changing area in the family bathrooms. Really? What the fuck is that all about. I have never been in a family bathroom where there there was no where to change a diaper. BIZAREE and annoying. Chris and I walked into the first one thinking one could pee, one could change Jax and then we would switch. No dice.

2. I am sure this is due to safety concerns but most rides no longer do the baby switch. As a matter of fact not a single ride we went on did the baby swap. When you are there with 15 other people that are willing to help out this is no big deal, plus don't forget we went when the park was deader than it has been in 4 years. What you have to do now is go up to an attendant and tell them you need to baby swap and they give you a fast pass that is good for the whole day and you can take two additional people with you.

This worked out for us because there was no line, so we would go on while someone watched Jax and then three of us would go on again. If it was just Chris and I, and we were there when it was busy I don't know if we would have bothered with anything besides rides we could fast pass at all. If you sum it all up one parent could be in line for 1.5 hours while the other is walking around Disney for every single frigging ride and then you would switch while the other goes in the fast pass lane which could still take a half an hour. Now you could just not wait in line and just use the fast pass if you wanted to, or each parent could go up separately to get their own baby swap fast pass for each ride and screw the system but that's a bit much. You would barely be spending any time together as a family, no thanks! At this age, we would not go to Disney with just the three of us for this reason alone.

Other than that as I previously stated it all rocked. It was very hectic with 16 of us, I am not going to lie but all in all it was awesome.

The first night we all stayed in the All Star Movie Resort-

The start of Jax's new fascination with all things Toy Story

This is how we started out with the characters

The first night we went to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party which was a first for us. I highly recommend it!

The next day we were off to Chef Mickey's Breakfast and Epcot for the day. This was an entertaining morning, after breakfast we of course did our mad dash to the monorail. Well, we didn't quite make it as fast as the rest of the family so we ended up getting left behind. My sister and her boyfriend stayed back with us and we ended up having an awesome day. For the first time ever we did the worlds and since Jax was passed out we did a drinking tour. So much fun!

I was pretty much done by the time we hit Italy.

Here we are after the Finding Nemo ride

The rest of the time we park hopped our asses off! We had some really good meals and some really crappy ones but I would definitely do the meal plan again. The Animal Kingdom Lodge was gorgeous but so far from everything that other than the days we were at the Animal Kingdom it felt like we were on the buses forever, in reality it was about an hour to anything but that is still a long time. A lot of the time we ended up taking taxes to the park and then the buses on the way home since we had a breakfast reservation each day.
