We got back yesterday The boys were fantastic (Ben is 2.5yrs and Jared is 9.5 months). Jared slept most of the way up and back on the plane and Ben was happy to sit and chat with us so we didn't irritate any other passengers at all
We spent the majority of the week hanging around the apartment and going to the beach and pool but we did venture into SeaWorld from open til close and the same at DreamWorld. Granted, it was only a 10am - 5pm day, but I couldn't be happier with my boys. Not a single meltdown, hissy fit or tantrum all day - and the boys were good too After our very successful day at SeaWorld, I walked out of the gates saying to Craig "They're ready for Disneyland" My main concern with TDR now is the extra flying time, but if we can get a nighttime flight all should be well.
We missed Disney so much while we were in the parks. As soon as we walked into DreamWorld Craig said "Disney do it so much better!" If that's not a Disney convert, I don't know what is We still had a great time though - it was a fantastic little getaway.
My BIL brought the dog back tonight and the poor thing has been chased around by the boys ever since, with Ben telling him "I love you puppy" and "I missed you puppy!"
