We just returned from a week long trip to Disney World. My mom flew into CC on a Thursday and we told the girls that night we were leaving in the morning. Our original intentions were to wake them up and surprise them but, Gianna did this on Thursday night.
She decided to hang off the back of one of those Power Wheels type toys. I yell at them constantly to keep their shoes on outside....and now she knows why. Gianna does not do hurt well. She thinks the world is going to end or whatever body part is hurt is going to just rot off from the infection that is surely going to come from this. She was hysterical. So, we decided to tell them about Disney World to make her night a little more manageable for her, and us.
We were out of the house a little after 6:30 Friday morning and on our way to Mobile, Alabama. One of the good things about living in Texas (where it takes an entire day just to get across the state) and all the moves we've recently made is that the girls are becoming much better traveling in the car. Oh, and they rarely pee. Total bonus for car rides, probably not so good on their bladders.
We made it Mobile about 6:00 that night and were up and out by 8:00 the next morning for Orlando. We stayed at Polynesian Isles Villas, which ended up being wonderful. It was more like an apartment, two bedrooms, two baths, and full kitchen. Real nice, Clark.
Sunday was our first day at Magic Kingdom.
First stop....DUMBO. I did extensive planning on what to do when and first and whatnot....more of that to come later.
Gianna was "a little" scared to ride Dumbo, and Yogi gets motion sickness with things that go around and around. So, it was just Evie and I. You can't really tell in the photo, but Gianna has on slippers.
We had to stop on the was to the Magic Kingdom that morning at Walmart to find some sort of shoe that could fit over her massive swollen and wounded foot. This is all I could come up with. She rode in the stroller until it was time to get on a ride and she'd hobble over.
As you can see, no Yogi again. If it goes around he ain't gettin' on it. I could see the fear in his eyes just riding across the Ferry.
By far, our favorite ride (including Yogi) was The Little Mermaid in the new addition to Fantasyland. You ride in cute little clam shells and songs from the movie are played. So cute!
Gaston from Beauty and The Beast. Gigi was cool because "he's a real person". Evie really wanted to see Belle, but the line for her was at 70 minutes wait. Hey Disney! Get that chick a FASTPASS!
We ate that day at Casey's Corner and then had ice cream. Then we got rained on a little. We mostly stuck to Fantasyland that day.
Next stop...Hollywood Studios.
