Day One: Disneyworld

Finley and I headed out to Disneyworld yesterday early in the morning.  After an easy flight out of Hobby, we arrived in Orlando having watched an episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and doing more stickers than I care to count.  We checked into the Grand Floridian and were lucky to have a room available straight away.  I watched my poor Cougars get crushed by Southern Mississippi and we had lunch at the hotel.  Grammy and Grandad arrived and we headed off to the Magic Kingdom.  For weeks, Finley has been asking to go on the Jungle Cruise first.  We were happy to oblige.  When we arrived into the park, the crowd was the biggest I had ever seen in Disneyworld.  It was complete chaos and Main Street was wall to wall people.  Justin Beiber had made a surprise appearance and they were filming for the Christmas day parade.  By the time we finally made it to the Jungle Cruise, we had a bit of a wait ahead of us.  Finley was so happy to ride the Jungle Cruise.  After the Jungle Cruise, Finley wanted to ride the Magic Carpets right across the way followed by the Tiki Birds.  Then we headed over to Tommorowland for The People Mover and Buzz Lightyear.  We also caught a show at the Castle and got to see it all lit up for Christmas.  We headed back to our hotel to watch fireworks from the balcony and let Finley get some rest.  Grammy and I headed back to the Magic Kingdom for more rides...we didn't get as much rest. I will be able to blog most of the trip during the trip since the WiFi is now free. Considering last year there wasn't even WiFi in the hotel, this is a major upgrade. Paying for wired internet really was not cool.
