Making dreams come true: Our day at Disney (a spring break series)

We couldn't go to Orlando without one itty-bitty day at Disney; also known as one really long day jam-packed with fun! We got up early the first full day of our trip and made our way to the happiest place on Earth and had a blast! Anna has traditionally been terrified of characters, but I thought with her mermaid makeover I'd use one of our fast passes for one-on-one a meet-and-greet with Ariel and maybe she'd change her tune. Nope, she did not want to meet or greet, she preferred to wail, cling, cry, and ask to exit A-S-A-P. That's OK, not having to stand in character lines sped our day along and we were able to enjoy the sights, sounds, rides, and wonder of Disney! In a few years, when we're nap-free, and everyone is a little more independent, we'll do a big Disney trip over more days, but for now our one-day excursion was magical enough for us!




First ride on the carousel!

Carousel selfie!

It's a small world attempt at a selfie : )

Anna's mermaid makeover at the Pirates League

Mermaid Anna!


The Country Bear Jamboree brought back memories for Gigi

After lunch we stumbled on the show at Cinderella's castle, it was a lot of fun!

The Tomorrowland peoplemover

Charlotte was a little confused by the ride, but that didn't stop me from attempting a selfie : ) 

So happy!

Cheesin' on Dumbo, it was fun to fly!

An afternoon nap was in order after a morning of fun! While Charlotte snoozed, Anna and Daddy rode the Astro-glider, one of the original rides at Magic Kingdom!

Last ride of the day on the carousel! (Is it just me or does Anna look 3 going on 13 here?)

Until next time, Disney!

We couldn't leave without mouse ears ... 
... that you wear at breakfast the day after your visit : )
