We are doing great in Florida and are LOVING the warm sunny beach weather. What a wonderful break from the wind and snow that we have heard about!
Disney was simply AMAZING. It was probably the best day of my life since being a mom. Cheesy I know but it really is magical. The kids were in awe of every single character - not scared. We did almost every single ride. Baby Ellen (14 mo) was fabulous - slept a little, sat in stroller. The kids adored "Its a Small World." It was so precious to see Ellen so excited over that ride. Grace loved Thunder Mtn Railroad. We laughed so much! Definitely what we needed.
Ellen went on all the rides with us. She would cry in the Winnie the Pooh ride until she saw Winnie and then she would laugh and laugh.
We stayed on Disney property - which was perfect. We went to the Polynesian Resort's pool one day and won the trivia contest. We got to go on a free speedboat ride because of it.
We were able to get into the park early because we stayed on the property. They do a fabulous show to welcome you into the property and I was crying because I was so excited! We did so many rides that first 2 hours. The girls, my mom and myself had lunch with Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Ariel and Belle. I mean - THEY CAME TO OUR TABLE AND SAT AND TALKED WITH US!
Our favorite things about Disney:
Nate: Going on Thunder Mtn w/Grace 2 times
Andrea: meeting Mary Poppins and Cindy's stepsisters
Grace: going to the princess lunch
Rita: meeting Minnie & Mickey
Sam: meeting Buzz Lightyear
Ellen: Winnie the Pooh (she would laugh and laugh)
All sounds so fun and great! Glad you are enjoying a break.
