Disney in a day

We were able to go to Disney for a day! We traveled down to florida for Travis' 10 year reunion, and we took advantage of flying into orlando :0) I have never been to Disney World, and was so excited about getting to go! Because we only went for a day, and we have small kids we went to Magic Kingdom, it was great!
I must say, never having been there, I was totally amazed at the attention to detail from the light fixtures to the paths through the park. Even the ride It's a small world amazed me with all the water (and no mildew) and the details on the little dolls outfits and shoes! WOW!!! I also kept wondering, man how do they dust these things?!- you know you're a mom when you think that while riding through the rides!

Grandpa and Logan

Julie actually was not a very big fan of Disney World... crazy i know. My poor child is bawling in the middle of the "happiest place on Earth" and saying she wants to go home. She was very afraid of the rides because they were too dark and scary! She also said there were way too many people there! After calming her down and letting her go by and see some of the character greetings and getting some ice cream she was much better! Guess theme parks aren't her thing, at least not yet!!! :0)
Julie and the nice lady that sang to her!

I must say, Logan LOVED it. He rode the rides and asked to do it again! He wasn't scared and seemed to be content with whatever we were doing at the time. He was tired by the end of the day, but was quite a trooper!

They really conked out at bedtime!



Overall, the trip was a great success!
