The kids have been counting the days to our trip for weeks. Jake decided we would get up super early and leave by 7am so we could get there and go to Downtown Disney (which we skipped last time). Great plan. Of course that means Mommy gets up at 5:30 and everyone else about an hour later. So we had a nice quick drive down to Orlando. The kids watched Frozen over and over and over. They have headphones but the girls sing along. It's actually pretty funny.
We checked in to Port Orleans Riverside which has the New Orleans theme. We booked beautiful princess rooms and these rooms are decked out with Princess Tiana (from Princess and the Frog). The headboards actually light up with fireworks. Its pretty amazing and the kids loved it. They were super excited when Grandma finally got there! We took a boat to Downtown Disney and got to have dinner with my Aunt Linda, Uncle Dave and cousin Molly. It was nice to see them but the kids were wild with excitement. So off to bed to rest for our first day at the park.
Monday morning we were up bright and early ready for fun. Hollywood Studios was first on our list. So, if you remember our last trip, that meant Toy Story Mania! It's our favorite ride! I am pretty sure there were fights over who rode with Grandma. After our first ride we had fast passes for the Disney Junior Live show. We made our way there and ran into Sofia the First. The girls had to meet her.
Just outside the show they had huge pictures of the Mickey Mouse gang. Grace LOVES Minnie Mouse (she says Mee Mow and its too cute). So we were standing taking pictures and a cast member asked if we would open the Clubhouse doors for the show. I was worried it would be a big deal but really it was just yelling the password and opening the door. But it also meant front row seats. Yeah! And WOW, did Grace dance! She was a maniac!
Jake had been studying his Disney Guide and decided he wanted to eat lunch at Pizza Planet (from Toy Story). It was a fun place and we followed it up with another ride on Toy Story Mania. We rode lots of rides, ate great food and Grace even took a nap.
So, it was a great first day! Next up Magic Kingdom!
