Disney Day 1 & 2


We got into Disney yesterday. It was a great flight and we got 1st class upgrades so that was nice (all those trips paid off). We got down here though, to find it much cooler than we expected!! We arrived at the house we are renting and were pleasantly surprised. It is BEAUTIFUL!! Just perfect. Very modern in decoration, huge spaces, gourmet kitchen, big bathrooms, 2 masters, 2 kids rooms, private screened in pool with jacuzzi and they also had a free baby package so we have a high chair, pnp, baby monitors, etc. Each room has a flat panel tv and there is a game room with fooseball, pool, huge flat screen, etc. We are only 3 miles from Disney, so it's about a 15 min drive from the house to parking. Not bad at all!!

Yesterday we went to Magic Kingdom. It was a big mistake. It was a Sunday which meant weekend crowds and it was Mickey's very merry Christmas Party (MVMCP). We didn't stay long, but had a good time just remembering the rides we loved. We did Small World, the Carousel a few times and Winnie the Pooh. It was so pretty seeing the Magic Kingdom all decorated for Christmas!!

Today we went back to MK. We were soooo happy. The crowds were gone and it was the Disney we remembered. For starters, it was 20 degrees warmer and sunny today. Yay! We hit all of the rides, more than a few times. Maddyn still has love for those "horsies" so we did the Carousel about 4 times, but Pooh about 3 times too. There were no lines, so we were lucky. She did the roller coaster in Goofy's land and some other fun rides like Tea Cups, Jungle Cruise, Snow White, Philharmagic, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc.

Near the end of the day, we decided to hop over to Epcot. There are only 2 rides that she's age appropriate for, and we did those: Nemo and then Crush. She loves them both! Then we ate dinner in Mexico and called it a day. Epcot is also beautifully decorated for Christmas. The tree is huge and beautiful and there are all kinds of pretty lights everywhere.

Today, I forgot my camera. I was so bummed. You all know my love for taking photos and so it was a tough pill to swallow. But it is what it is, and I'll make up for it the rest of the trip :)

Tomorrow we plan to hit Hollywood Studios in the morning, swim here and nap in the afternoon and then tomorrow night, we head to the MVMCP ourselves!! Looking forward to it, should be lots of fun :) I will bring the camera, for sure!!!

Here's a picture I took of Cinderella's castle last night in the meantime:
