First Day of Disney

Just a heads up, this post is packed with pictures.

We had an hour car ride to and from Disney each day which meant there was plenty of time for excitement to build.

Sissa was excited.



hahah



Buddy was so excited he started singing his song again. "We're going to Forda!" I quickly pulled out my camera to take a picture of him dancing and smiling, but as soon as he saw my camera he made a dull face and plainly said, "I am not excited."



We parked, got in line, got out of line since Dad forgot to lock the doors, got back in line, boarded the tram, unloaded the tram, loaded the ferry and rode. Talk about a stressful way just to get to the park. I now know why Disney is called the happiest place on earth. Why you might ask? Because they stress you out with all of the transportation, baggage checks and what not that by the time you finally get into the park (about 30 mins later) you are just so relived to be inside. You don't want to leave because then you have to go through all those things again.

Ok, that was a little exaggerated. It wasn't really that bad, but it wasn't as easy as pie.

Here are some pictures from the ferry ride with my two favorite siblings. ;)



Once we were finally inside the park and had located a restroom we watched a cute little show of some singers and dancers performing to that song about the trolley. It's a super cute song. To listen to it click here.



One of the first things we noticed about Disney was that we may be in America, but I think we were the only ones who spoke English in the whole place. There were all kinds of languages.

Another thing I noticed was that every other person has these awesome buttons that said, "1st Visit". I was determined to get one. If I had a dollar for every time I said I wanted one of those buttons, I wouldn't have to get a loan for college.

I don't have a transition for the next pictures, so here they are.

I hate to burst your bubble, but the castle is actually pretty small... I was sad.

To start out we rode Peter Pan, Mickey's Philharmagic, Dumbo, and the Tea Cups.

The Spinning Tea Cups were my favorite. Buddy and Sissa both enjoyed it. I was expecting them to cry...But they were great sports and did not rain on my parade.

Speaking of rain, right before we ate lunch the sky just opened up and poured. It was quite entertaining to watch people run from the rain like they were going to melt.

While eating lunch I found a hidden Mickey. I was so stinkin proud of myself. (I know, pride is a sin.)



What we did after lunch is a blur. I do know we stood in line for about 30 mins to get Buzz Lightyear's autograph. The line didn't seem that long since I was trying to figure out if the lady in front of me was from England or Australia. They both sound alike to me, however, I decided that she was from Australia since she called her little brother mate. :)

I look like a hunchback...

Here are some more pictures of the castle.

We stopped and listened to a show at the castle. It was pretty cheesy and all about following your dreams. Dad said it sounded like a Joel Osteen sermon. I do agree with Dad, but I'm a sucker for musicals.

We rode a bunch of other rides like It's a Small World. I also found another hidden Mickey in there, but no one believed me. It continued to rain on and off all day.

Oh yeah, remember that button I mentioned earlier. I finally got one. Right as we were leaving that is. The best part was they were free. :)

Now that I have the button and I'm home, I have no idea what to do with it.
