Our Disney World Vacation by the Numbers

Last week for six days and five nights our little family of four was happily bouncing around in a little Disney bubble, touring all four parks and having the time of our lives.  I can honestly say that this was by far our best trip as a family of four and one of my favorite trips I’ve ever been on in my entire life.  It.  Was.  Perfect.

I haven’t had time to finish wading through and organizing all of the pictures from our trip yet, so today it’s a “By the Numbers” post!  Since there are so many things to recap, I’m going to recap each park by the numbers and then I’ll do an overall recap by the numbers!

  15. I cannot believe you didn't track your steps!! It was easily 20K a day I guarantee you! And I'm kind of thinking you could have squeezed in more alcohol. Ha! We have actually only been to animal kingdom and magic kingdom but we loved them! Y'all looked so cute in your matching outfits. I'm guessing you are not a thrill ride chaser.
