We decided that being only an hour away from Orlando was a sign that we should maybe try Disney. I know that we will hopefully come back many times, but this first time was so much fun. We knew going in to keep our expectations low, and to try to experience everything through the eyes of a 3 and 4 year old!
Downtown Disney on Friday night
I thought for sure Andrew would pick up on all the Disney stuff, but he never he even asked if we could go to Disney World (fun treat)
Thanks to Grandma Cindy for the great Christmas presents, the Spiderman & Captain America sweatshirts were very popular!!
Build your own Light Saber, not sure who enjoyed this more
Our first ride on the magic carpet, we learned quickly that it could be dangerous (for our stomachs) to let the boys be in charge of the controls
first snack break of many
Loving the carousel, it's amazing that some rides you wait 5 minutes, while on others, the wait is over an hour
It's a Small World
I tried to get in as many "girl" rides as possible, Andrew had no problem telling us what was girly, and what he didn't want to do (note there is no picture of us walking near the castle - too girly)
Lots of disappointment after not being able to pull out Arthur's sword
Afternoon rejuvenation all around
Ariel's clamshells
Mom was happy to take pictures while the boys spun the teapots
Quick phone picture on Dumbo
We saw these after riding Pirates of the Caribbean in the morning, and all day long we convinced Andrew that he needed to look around for toys
We had to make a stop back at the pirate store on our way out - makes for 2 happy boys
We did get to see all of the Christmas decorations still up
We realized that we didn't see anything Mickey all day, so we stopped by a hedge in the shape of Minnie at the Monorail station
We were at the park from 9-7, and had a great experience. It's really fun to experience Disney as an adult, but really fun to see the magic as a parent. We're excited to go back after we save up another small fortune!
