Disney: Day #1

We spent our spring break week at Walt Disney World, thanks to my parents, whose dream it was to take their children and grandchildren on this amazing vacation.  We spent our week at the Art of Animation Resort.  It was an awesome place to stay for a week.  We were in two family suites.  Each suite and three beds and two bathrooms and a small kitchen.  The main bed was in its own room.  A second bed was a pull-out sofa and the third was a kitchen table - murphy bed.  And we had a pack n play for Noah - and we still had plenty of room!  There was a large 'cafeteria' in the main building and each section of the resort had its own pool.  We stayed in the Nemo section, which was by far the best.  It had the largest pool, a splash pad and a playground.  It was also the closest section to the main building and buses.

We were up at 3:30 am Saturday morning for our 7am flight to Orlando.  Leah and Max were so excited to fly and you would never know there was an infant on the plane.  Noah slept during take off and was entertained throughout the flight.

We were welcomed by sunshine and warmth!  We had to wait a couple of hours for Christopher, Jamie and Addie to arrive which gave us time to explore the resort and eat lunch....and then we were off to find Mickey (Max thought Mickey would be waiting for him at the airport...so it was important to find Mickey ASAP!).  We went to the Magic Kingdom on Saturday and were greeted by an Easter Parade and a Celebration Parade.  And we saw Mickey in the parades.  I literally had tears in my eyes watching Max seeing Mickey for the first time.  And  I know my dad, Hippa, did too.  We flew high with Dumbo (and played in the 'big top' while waiting in line), had a delicious dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern, saw a third parade, purchased some ears and then called it a night - we were pooped!

I can't wait to see Jamie's pictures - she does an awesome job - but mine will do for now.
