The happiest place on earth

Our fist day of disney was Sunday, father's day!! and what a great day it was!! I will try my best to break it down day by day. This was day #1.

We were all dressed in our disney finery and so excited to get there! My mom made Amelia's dress and I "made" lucas' shirt if you can call it that. It was an iron on that i applied -nothing too fancy for me!

Lots of firsts here - we took the boat over (should have monorailed over - oh well!).

Loved seeing the signs saying we were there, the first castle sighting was also fun! Mia was uber excited to see it, she knew it meant cinderella was near!! loved the let the memories begin sign

too!!

We made it in, and ran into the fairy god mother. She was super sweet to the kids, although lucas was not very fond of her. we saw a dance show on main, and mia caught the dancer's eye. he came over to talk to her and called her princess. she was so bashful - it was very cute! our first ride - the carousal.

After the carousal, we rode snow white's scary adventure, then we made our way over to it's a small world. Lucas and amelia loved the snow white ride, lucas told me he did not like it's a small world. he was quite funny about what he liked and what he didn't!! we saw the noon show with mickey and friends too! even included some fireworks!

After the show we went on a boat ride, Amelia, her pop and nana went to the haunted mansion. Since Lou wasn't old enough for that and was sleeping, I took him with me to the Christmas store nearby. i could look, he could sleep and there was AC!! sold! I happened to see the sign that told me Princess Tiana would be coming soon! Our very first princess meeting! I waited in line and everyone made it back in time to see her! One of my favorite things the big D promotes is having one person wait and the rest of the group exploring! very nice! After Tiana, we went on a train ride around the park. Lucas loved it, he is a huge train fan right now.

We were able to see where the new attractions were going to be while riding the train, and it gave us a chance to relax! We decided to leave the park after that for some r&r. The kids needed a nap and so did we! On the way out we ran across a street show in frontier land. Amelia was picked to go out and dance with the cast members! how fun! she did a great job and it was a wonderful memory!

Up next, we came back for the fireworks and the light the night parade!
