Vacation Part 1: Disney Day 1

Charlie

So in college I worked with a guy named Cory. Cory had done the Disney internship program and he liked to tell me how "It was all about the mouse." It actually fit many times, but he would then go on to how it would fit. But since we went to Disney World for the first part of our vacation, it made me think about this. . .

So Disney World. We stayed at the Pop Century. We didn't take any pictures at the hotel, except for this one on our way to the bus on Saturday morning to take us to the Magic Kingdom. (The shadow selfie was something another teacher was doing while he was at Disney the week before, thought I would humor him.)

So on Saturday we started off with the Haunted Mansion. Probably not our smartest move for being your first ride. . . But once we got going, you liked it. Kinda.

After a quick juice break, we headed to Adventureland and Aladdin's Flying Carpets. You loved this ride!!! All three of us rode it the first time and you rode it with just Daddy a couple of times.

From the flying carpets, we moved onto the jungle cruise.

Then we made your day. You met Woody and Jessie.

We continued on our meeting of favorite characters after the Under the Sea ride.

So there is a magical place called Neverland. It has almost all of your favorites. The Tick-Toc Crock. Captain Hook. Mr. Smee. Tinker Bell.

You loved it. As soon as we got off the ride, you started screaming how "I can fly!" and wanted to do it again. Yes, screaming. Crying. Lots of Tears. So as we waited to Fast Pass it again, we did the carousel.

This picture looks cute. Loving. You are crying in it. You really wanted to ride the Peter Pan ride again. We did as soon as we could. (Twice wasn't enough. You wanted more. If you could ride it over and over and over without ever getting off, you would have been happy.) We also did It's a Small World (your Daddy protested). You learned the song. Your Daddy groaned, I thought it was awesome. (Really, I did. I joined you in song.)

We met Tinker Bell and Mickey somewhere in there. That's right, Mickey. There might have been tears as we had to wait for Mickey. (Ok, there was a major break down, but cake helped.)

We might have also found you a giant cinnamon roll.

When we asked you how it was, you responded with, "It's magic."

When we were done with Disney for the day, you asked if you were going to school the next day. Yep. I just wanted to be sure I wrote that so it could be used one day. . .
