Disney World

Finley is absolutely loving Disney World.  She has had the best time.  Yesterday, she made it through the whole day without even needing a nap.  She was such a trooper.  So many firsts....first monorail ride, first Disney World ride, first mouse ears...

The first ride we did was Winnie the Pooh.  She had so much fun.  The only ride she hasn't really liked so much was the carousel.  Her favorite park so far is the Magic Kingdom.  She even rode on the Pirates of the Caribbean tonight.  I was so proud of her for being such a big girl.  She talked to the pirates as we rode, it was super cute.  She also really enjoyed the Country Bear Jamboree, she kept yelling "Bears!"  By far her most favorite thing has been Minnie's house at Toon Town.  We will have to return there at least a couple times more before we leave.

Finley is loving all the attention here, she collected five stickers tonight from castmembers after the Main Street Electrical Light Parade.  Everyone adored her Minnie dress and Grammy & Grandad bought her her very own Minnie Mouse to take home.

We also visited the Animal Kingdom this morning.  Finley loved seeing all the animals, but it is crazy hot here, so we left before nap time.  We were able to get through Africa and Asia, so the rest of the park will have to wait for sometime later this week.

If you have any doubts about taking a toddler to Disney World, DO IT.  It is magical to watch her get so excited about everything.  She has been a total dream and I know she is just loving it so very much.  We have also been spoiled by the Grand Floridian.  After staying here, I doubt we will be able to stay anywhere else.  We are just a short monorail ride away from the Magic Kingdom and then we get to take an equally short boat ride home.  Add in a room with a view of the lagoon and monorail (and Cinderella's Castle if you turn your head right) and you have the makings of an ideal Disney




















Please accept my apologies for only having large pictures.  I am working on Grandad's Mac...and it is SO frustrating.

Isn't it completely amazing to see their little faces light up?! It made me feel like a kid again, for sure. I teared up when Joe met Mickey and when he rode on It's a Small World. =) So glad Finley is getting to experience this!!!
