So today was Disney Day!! We had waited to tell the kids about going to Disney until that morning. They just would have gotten too excited and would have probably driven everyone crazy! So we woke up at Auntie Maggie’s, gave them their drinks and movie (Mia was still obsessed with the dog)…
… and told them. We had the video camera on and everything, expecting them to go crazy. Well, it was a big FAIL. They were too engrossed with their movie and the fact that Maggie’s TV made the bees in the Bee Movie pink that it didn’t even register when we told them where we were going. Ha! lol I haven’t watched the video back yet, but I’m sure we are going to crack up given they pretty much had NO response. It was our fault for giving them all these distractions before we told them!
However, as the morning rolled on, they started getting really excited. I’m definitely glad we waited to tell them – ‘Are we going now?! Are we going now?!’
Anyways, we checked in at the hotel – a HUGE perk of Brock traveling all the time and his ‘Executive-Platinum-You-Must-Stay-Here-Too-Often’ status was that they gave us 2 adjoining rooms so we didn’t all have to stay in one room! That was awesome, because we were wondering how it was going to work with the kids napping midday. It worked out perfectly.
We got to the park, and the first thing we see was Pluto. Of course the kids wanted to see him, so we waited in line.
And here is Classic Mia for you… we are standing in line on the first day of our first Disney experience, and she says, “I sure hope that Pluto is real and not just some guy in a costume.”
Brock and I just look at each other like, ‘Oh great.” Ha! But they loved it, I was too afraid to ask her what her verdict was.
From there we got sucked right into waiting in the Meet the Princess line. Man I wish we had a Fast Pass for that one! But Mia almost couldn’t talk, she was so in awe.
Her favorite was Belle, I think she liked her dress best. I just love the look on her face!
Then on to Mickey!!
For some reason, Drake didn’t want to see Mickey and Minnie (or the princesses) and was crying after Mickey. All these Disney employees were giving him suckers from the gift shop and stickers to make him stop crying. I don’t know what happened, because he loved Pluto!
But his new Mickey ears cheered him up. Of course Mia got the ears with the crown on front and the veil in back. :)
(I don’t know what’s with the new pirate eye he’s been doing lately…)
We ate and went back to the room so the kids could nap, then back to the park. Time for some RIDES!
We first hit the Teacups…
They were LOVIN’ it!
Afterwards, Mia says, “Mom! I LOVE those chai tea cups!” Brock’s Starbucks addiction has affected us all. :)
Drake on Dumbo…
They really loved Mickey’s Philharmagic…
Winnie the Pooh, It’s a Small World, and the Carousel were also big hits!
Time to go! (again, not sure what’s up with the pirate eye…)
Such a GREAT first day at Disney. One more day to come!
