Disney Pt.2

 January 27th was our first day. We hit Magic Kingdom on the first day.
We got up at 620 AM, packed up our breakfast to go with aluminum foil.
It was freezing outside. 

We drove to Disney, got lost, then finally found the parking lot. We scored a good part. 

Then we took the Ferry (The monorail was down) and we to the park right before opening. Sadly, we went to the wrong gate since we needed to do something for our "florida resident's" tickets, so we had to go back in line. 

Thankfully, most of the people there were for early admission (not our competition)

We finally made it to the park, we took photos in front of the castle, we ate our breakfast, and we were the first in the FrontierLand RopeDrop. 

When we finally got in, we were the FIRST people in Haunted Mansion. It was SO cool! 

After that we were off. Tyson was amazing at the DAS pass and making our reservations. We walked ALL over the park. We logged in 10 miles. Thanks for the wheelchairs, we got to see some good shows, get into rides fast. 

I do have to say that by 4 PM we were DONE. We were tired. Our last ride was a Winnie the Pooh and we had to wait 45 minutes and it broke us. So we skipped the magic show, we left, and went to eat at Golden Corral - it was marvelous! 

Disney Pt.1

We took a red eye flight to Florida. Our minimalist packing skills were on fire :) The red eye flight was ok - but we all got a little bit of sleep and I am thankful we got extra seats for the girls

We arrived around 5 AM in Florida and then picked up our rental car - we got a Van since we knew we had to take it to Orlando. We arrived at the condo around 830 AM. I was SO tired, so I immediately went to bed. We all took naps. 

We woke up, I worked, the girls relaxed and Tyson did school. We packed up the car and left around 12 PM.

We took the 3 hour drive to Orlando. We took the toll road and it was so nice to have little traffic. 

We arrived in Orlando and went straight to Walmart to guy some snacks and things we needed (we watched so many videos of what to pack for Disney)

We then went to Disney Springs and had dinner. Disney Springs was really cute and fun! I wish we could have spent more time there. Next time. 

also - holy cow, we were not prepared for how cold it was. We had to go to Walmart to buy beenies, a jacket, gloves .... because it was only in the 40s and the humidity made it feel super cold! 

*** note to self, never trust Florida. Always pack a sweater AND jacket and gloves .... ****

We got back from Walmart around 10 PM and we were all tired and needed to get to bed for our first big day the next day!
