Last week, I hopped on a plane for a whirlwind, fast-paced, less than 24 hour trip to the Walt Disney World® Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.  It was a quick trip, that’s for sure, but there was an exciting premise behind it.

This year, Zack really wanted to be a dragon.  If it were me, I would have hot glued some wings and spikes onto a hoodie and called it a day.  But oh, no.  In the Ballard household, things get quickly out of hand.

It’s hard to tell from this picture since it was taken in the daylight, but the dragon’s eyes light up red and the mouth glows white.  There’s also a hidden Bluetooth speaker hidden inside the mouth that Tom could control from his phone and make it roar.  Yes, it was absolutely ridiculous.
