Oh, Disney. You were every bit of amazing as I thought you would be. We packed up and headed to Disney on Thursday after work. We left Columbia around 4, which was good timing for us because after a stop for dinner, the kids slept the rest of the way down. Collins was SO, SO excited! My parents left before us so they had the pack and plays ready for the boys upon arrival!
We were up and at ‘em bright and early Friday morning, arriving in the park right before 9. We chose to do two days at Magic Kingdom and one day at Hollywood Studios for this trip, Friday was a MK day. One of my best friends used to work at Disney and did all of my Fast pass booking for me, what a huge help! That whole process overwhelmed me. We did SO much on Friday…due to some rainy weather and a week day, we waited in NO lines. Of course, we weren’t trying to do any of the “big/adult” rollercoasters (space, thunder, mine train) as I think those did keep lines all day.
We had free breakfast at our hotel, the Embassy Suites that is affiliated with Disney, so we also had free shuttle service…very nice perk. We also decided to pack our lunch for Friday and Saturday. I just didn’t know how the boys would do and didn’t really want to make reservations anywhere…plus, we wanted to spend our time riding and enjoying Disney! This worked out really well for us.
We managed to get all of this in on Friday: Tea cups, Dumbo, Little Mermaid adventure, meeting Ariel in the grotto, Pirates of the Caribbean, It’s a small world, Peter pans flight, the Mickey philharmagic 3D show, Enchanted Tales with Belle, Jungle Cruise, Swiss family treehouse, people mover in Tomorrowland, Monsters Inc. comedy show AND the dream along with Mickey show in front of the castle. WHEW! We were POOPED by 5:30. It was time to head back to the hotel and enjoy our free happy hour at the hotel:-). Don’t you just love Embassy Suites? We made it an early night for all. It really was the best day, it only rained a little bit off and on and we were prepared for it and didn’t affect our rides at all. I was shocked at how much we were able to do, between bathroom breaks, parking two strollers every time for lines, and walking all over the park, we still fit a ton in!
Now, onto the pictures from our first day of fun!
