We made it to Disney!

We started out on Friday bright and early, around 8:00 a.m., and were in Disney by noon. Our room wasn't ready, so we took the opportunity to dump our luggage with the bellmen, and run off to the Magic Kingdom.

We spent the whole day there. A highlight was seeing Minnie and Mickey in toon town, which is scheduled to close quite soon to make way for new construction.
We headed directly to its a small world first, of course, before seeing Mickey. The weather was cool and the crowds were not as bad as I would have thought. We were able to do that ride a few times, then got some lunch. As I obtained the food, and then ate, T was spending some quality time between bites with the hula hoops.

She was very excited to show off her perfected skills, as she is now a pro. Last time there, she couldn't really do it. Once she saw another child doing 2 hoops at once. She would not stop until she could, too. She was great! Of course, my competitive little child had to up the ante, so to speak, and had to try 3 at once. Less success there, but she had a ball trying.

We saw the country bear jamboree, and stalked Rapunzel and Tiana with limited success. Though a huge fan, T did NOT want to spend the time standing in line to speak with them. We stayed in the park until around 7:00, then returned to our hotel for dinner. T was ready for action, but I was exhausted. So ended our Friday.

Saturday dawned with our waking bright and early and braving the cattle call, I mean hotel restaurant for breakfast. I can't tell you how crowded, hectic, and intense that was. Oy. After some time we found a table and were able to eat our Mickey waffles, ears first, of course.
T was allowed to set the schedule for the day. She started out wanting to go to animal kingdom, but balked at the last minute and couldn't resist another go at MK's Its a small world. We wandered the park a bit, did some shopping, then T wanted to go to epcot.

So after making T pose for this shot, we jumped on the monorail and high-tailed it to Epcot for what I thought would be a fun day at the park.

A marvelous plan was made in the stars,
to create a miracle across the ocean so far....
Then entwine and weave all the hopes and labor,
it would take to bring us this joy called "Taylor"....
Now three lives are blessed and somewhere in the stars,
the planners are smiling, as we all are.
