It's not for lack of trying...
The amazing part is, my DD's still didn't know we were going to WDW! To them, we were still going to the "Ocean". Our typical Spring Break trip is to the beach in Daytona with my DW's family. My DW and I had discussed how and when we would tell them. And due to their ages, we thought we could try and keep it from them until we were in line for DME.
"Do you think you might want to go to Disney World?"
"Yes" The jumping up and down starts...
"How about for a whole WEEK?"
"YES! Oh, I'm so excited" As she jumps up and down crazily.
And of course, the welcome video wasn't working...so they played the Cruise Line video for us. Oh well, at least it was something. And who cares...we're on our way to WDW!!!
Looked at the shops...waited some more....Saw the Avengers monorail go by...So cool
A little after 4, the text was received. We made it up to our room and headed out to the balcony...looked off a bit to the left and saw this...
Well, tonight the DW and I were off for our "date night".
Then we received a complimentary limoncello for dessert. We really didn't need any more booze in us after finishing off that bottle of wine -
This time we caught a view of Wishes! This would be the first of many times we were able to enjoy Wishes right from our room.
This would be our first monorail experience of the trip. I was probably the most excited one. I don't know what it is about hearing that monorail spiel - but it gets me every time.
Where do we head first?
Unfortunately, this line experience would set the tone for the rest of the week. We got all the way to the front of the queue, were sitting in the hang-glider and Addison decides she didn't want to ride. Oh well - maybe next time.
On our walk back from Nemo through the entrance area to the Land pavilion. I spotted them. That family of 4 I had been looking for. I stopped them and asked if they were interested in fast passes for Soarin. Turns out they were a British family and they thanked me in a wonderful British accent. BONUS! I love passing on the pixie dust when I can! pixie dust:
It's their Cheddar Cheese Soup infused with Moosehead beer and bacon!
...Good work!
Nice to see that you're surviving getting up so early. We have never tried RD before, but now that we have a wee tot coming on our next trip, we're going to try it! It will be a different way to see the world, that's for sure.
Good for you for spreading some pixie dust - I bet that added to their magical memories!
Yummy meal at Le Cellier! I LOVE that filet and risotto. Great choice for lunch! I must try the soup next time.
Enjoyed your latest update!
Monorail ride...
Spreading the magic to others...
Le Cellier cheese soup...
Can it really be any better than that?
Well, I guess it could be better if everyone would be willing to ride, but still looks like a great first half of the day.

Hi I just found your trip report. A little late to the party but I'm here now and can't wait to hear about your trip.
Your daughter's are adorable. I hope they had a great spring break vacation.
Hi, I just found your TR & I am enjoying it!
Your daughters are beautiful!
The view from room, epecially during Wishes, is awesome!
Enjoying the trip report, we went on Spring Break 2011. I do not have any Disney trip planned now but sure wish I did.
Living vicariously through trip reports. Wish I was There!
Dang you nemesis. That sounds like an awesome day.
You are making this "being mean" thing very difficult.
Awesome pic of Alladin and Jasmine and the girls, and way to go Supermom for making it, while sluggish dad dragging behind.
And awesome pics of Illuminations, I am never able to get such good pics of that show. You even got the CN Tower in pretty clearly.
You better not keep up this pace, or I may have to befriend you and call off this whole nemesis thing.
Wow. What a day! Super mom saves the day! I'm thinking that may be minus man-points for not saving the day. JK. Awesome update! I have a question... what camera are you using here? That's got a great zoom and takes really good pictures! Any photo processing going on here?
