We had a wonderful time in Disney...all of us! The weather was beautiful most of the time and the parks and resorts were so festive with holiday decorations. The trip was better than I could have ever imagined. We were so lucky to have Andy's parents come along and experience the magic with us!
We stayed at the Wilderness Lodge. The girls loved our room with bunk beds and a connecting door that joined our room to grandma and grandpa's! From the hotel, the Magic Kingdom was just a short boat ride away. Each night the kids were visited by the Disney Fairy...this was lots of fun! The fairy brought presents like Santa hats with mouse ears, jingle bell necklaces, snow globes, princess night gowns, tiaras and princess jewelery.
The first day the girls got their autograph books, Disney Dollars, special Disney World pins (First Timer for Chloe and Brayden, Family Reunion for Mary Ellen and I, Happy Birthday for Daddy, and I'm Celebrating for Isabel) all at City Hall. It was hot and sunny! We were off to Fantasyland and our first ride was Dumbo the Flying Elephant! Chloe loved the Dumbos because she could control the elephant by moving it up and down. Brady was gliding his arm up and down and making a trumpeting sound for elephant. Everyone was excited.
At 6:15 that night, we headed over to the front of the castle to watch the show, Cinderella's Wish. At the start of the show Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and Daisy came out singing and dancing for the holidays. They were trying to decide how the castle should be decorated for Christmas when the fairy godmother appeared. She suggested they ask Cinderella, since she is the one who actually lives there. It was Cinderella's wish that the castle be decorated to look like her glass slippers. With a wave of the fairy godmother's wand and the magic words, Bibbidi, Bobbidi, Boo the castle magically transformed into an Ice Castle covered in glistening icicles. The show was so beautiful and moving it actually brought tears to mommy's eyes.
That night we had dinner at Peco Bills and watched the Spectro Magic Parade and the firework show Wishes! Tinkerbell actually is illuminated and flys off of the castle. The kids loved their light up toys and watching the parades right up front. Some of the characters, like Grumpy and Sleepy, actually came over and touched the girls. An exhasuting, but exciting first day!
