Florida Trip: Disney World Day 1

After about a year of planning and excitement, the time for our Florida trip finally came!! We were all so excited (except a little maybe for me...being miserable with morning sickness). We drove to Boise and spent the night with Jon, who kindly took us to the airport super early the next morning. It was a long, long day of traveling, but we finally made it to Orlando that evening. We checked into the hotel, ate some dinner, and James took Emery and Avri to the pool.


The next morning it was painful to wake up so early, but we had to get an early start to Disney World!! The girls were soooooo excited!! We had no idea what was in store for us with the long drive just to the parking lot, followed by a trolley ride into the ticket station, and then waiting in line for quite awhile for the monorail to take us to the actual park--the Magic Kingdom! When we finally got in the park we got our Fast Passes for the day and then set out for more rides. The girls were troopers and willing to wait and explore and enjoy everything possible.

Here's a picture overload of our first day in the park:


  
Wizard training! Avri went to secret places all over the park that had interactive wizard training. 
She loved it!

All Emery wanted to do was meet Tiana. She was so excited!!!

Horrible picture, but the Buzz Lightyear ride was a hit.

The girls really wanted to meet Anna & Elsa from Frozen, but they were only at Epcot...except for the parade! The girls were so so excited to see them!!

The girls also really wanted to see Peter Pan and Captain Hook. Thank goodness for the parade--they were able to see every character they loved!

Meeting Rapunzel!!

The girls with Snow White

Mickey's Phil Harmagic was awesome!! The girls loved the 3D and were hilarious trying to grab at everything. 

She looks pretty determined!!

We were hoping to stay long enough for the fireworks show, but we were beat around 8 pm. 
We rode the ferry out, grabbed dinner, and crashed!!

It was a busy, fun-filled, exciting, and exhausting day!

I am so glad you guys got to go!! It looks like you saw a lot more characters than we did - Meg was pretty bummed that she didn't get to talk to, or get autographs of any princesses.

Your family is so sweet and I'm excited that you're having another baby!
