Davis Family Travels: Addison's 16th Birthday Trip

I am very proud of all of my girls. This trip is about Addison. Probably about 6 months out I talked to Addison about her birth birthday plans. This is her sweet 16 and we all wanted it to be special. She informed me that she wanted to go to Disney and that she wanted to take two of her friends who had never been to Disney before and that she would pay for them to go. She called her friends Bella and Lena and cleared things with their mother. The trip was on! I, Joe, would be the tour guide and driver. Other than that I wanted all of the decisions about where we would go and when to be up to them. More plans were made, dates were set and changed but finally it was time to shove off on our journey.

I am proud of Addison. She was given the opportunity to have time to herself at Disney but instead chose to give of herself and involve friends who have never had the opportunity to experience these beautiful parks.

Another new experience for our friends was Bucee's. They thought this was a gas station but they found that this was something more. I knew they were getting the idea when they asked me if they could get a shopping cart.

After getting to Orlando we quickly unloaded our gear and made our way to Disney Springs! Again, an overwhelming experience. With hundreds of places to eat we landed at Rain Forest Cafe. A long standing Davis family tradition for the first meal at Disney.

We perused the outside of the Lego Store (there was a lengthy line to get inside) and very little of the rest of Disney springs.

The next morning we got up bright and early to experience one or two rides at rope drop. Breakfast was at the Disney McDonalds.

We conquered tower of terror first!

Then Mini and Mickey's Runaway Railway

Rise of the Resistance

On an earlier Birthday Trip, Addison and I had an outstanding experience at 50's Prime Time Dine-in. Now, it too, has become a staple whenever we go to Disney Studios.
