Fantastic Family Fun: Disneyworld Post 1

Alec and I right before we got in the car to leave for Disneyworld.

Two super excited boys!

Fantastic Family Fun: Post #1

We began our drive to Orlando on December 17.  After about a year of planning and talking about it, I think the boys were in that place where surreal and real merge.  Alec couldn't believe that the time had FINALLY arrived.  We drove a little more than half-way and spent the night in Georgia.  On Sunday, December 18, we checked into our Coronado Springs Resort hotel in the afternoon and a few hours later we entered Magic Kingdom for the first time.  We had tickets to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, which began when regular park hours ended.



My sweeties with me in front of the castle.

I debated on whether we should spend the extra money on those tickets, and I am SO glad that we splurged.  It was such a great first look at Disneyworld.  Crowds were not bad, plus we got to see the parade and the park all lit up at night.  It was great!

Our first Disney Activity was the Christmas Party on Dec 18th.  We arrived in the park at about 5 p.m.

This was the response when we arrived at Magic Kingdom.

My wonderful boys.

Our first show was Mickey's PhilHarmagic.  LOVED it.  Zach was trying to look tough, but he loved it too.  :)

We did the Haunted Mansion AT NIGHT, and I was a bit concerned about how Alec would handle the scariness.  He did great, and actually told me to take this picture.

This was our first ride.  Can you tell that Zach is a wee bit excited?

The parade was AMAZING.  I loved it!

Who can resist the seven little people?

Love those kiddos.

Pretty.

End of day one.  This was taken by Alec.  It is one of my favorite pictures!
