The Greatest Place on Earth!

WELCOME TO DISNEY!

We had a WONDERFUL flight, I'm feeling great and the excitement of Disney is CONTAGIOUS! In fact Nolan is so excited he's been running around his 2x3 foot crib for the last hour and a half trying to calm down. That means he's REALLY tired! :)

It's amazing how many forms of transportation it takes to "go see Mickey". Let's see, we started at 4:15 AM Sunday morning. This is what it takes to "go see Mickey":
*Car from home to airport
*Plane from Wichita to Houston
*Numerous escalators and convaier belts in Houston Airport
*A train in Houston Airport
*Plane from Houston to Orlando
*Train to baggage claim
*More escalators and an elevator
*Taxi from airport to hotel
*Elevators in hotel
*Bus from hotel to Magic Kingdom
*Train from parking lot to park
*Stroller down Mainstreet
FINALLY SEE MICKEY!!!

Whew....it's amazing when you think about it how many forms of transportation it actually takes to GET HERE!

Sunday we arrived at Magic Kingdom just in time for the "Move it, Shake It, Celebration". We danced in the streets front row with Mickey! Nolan LOVED it, we saw Mickey and Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the gang. We went to the "Monsters, Inc Laugh Floor" and Nolan and John were even apart of the show! Next we went to Buzz Lightyear's Space Rangers, let's just say Nolan and John BOTH enjoyed this ride! It was so cute to see the boys bonding and enjoying this ride. We enjoyed dinner at Cosmic Ray's then headed over to the Awesome SpectroMagic parade! Good times when you see all of the characters light up in this awesome parade! This is definately one of my favorites. We ended with the fireworks and headed home. We were all exhausted, remember, we started this day at 3:30 AM!

This morning we went to Magic Kingdom again! We started the day with Breakfast with Pooh, Tigger, Piglet and Eor. Then off to, you guessed, BUZZ Lightyear! We enjoyed this ride one more time with daddy before he had to head back to get ready for his meetings, that is of course why we are here! :) This afternoon we met...Buzz Lightyear, Cinderellla, Belle, Another princess in a pink dress, if you can name her, I'll be thrilled!! :) Then on to Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Donald! It was a action packed day full of CHARACTERS! Nolan had a great time and it was so fun to watch him wait his "TURN" in line to take his autograph book up to them and get their pictures. Our little prince Charming with the Princesses, the "cool dude" with Buzz and Goofy and just pure excitement with Donald and Mickey! While at the park today we also took in a parade and a show in front of Cinderella's house! :)

We finally got back to our hotel and of all things our room key didn't work, so since i didn't have my drivers license, hello, all of the transportation we took we didn't need a drivers license, why would I carry that! So after a bit of a wait, security let us into our room. :) We are STILL trying to wind down after 2 1/2 hours, but it will happen! :) Let me rephrase that...NOLAN is still trying to wind down, I have been "down" for the last 2 1/2 hours! :)

Okay, sweet dreams...
