We woke up at 8 and were getting ready to make our way to DISNEY!!!! Yay! We packed our bags into our rental car and my grandparents had a wonderful breakfast ready for us. (We would be returning on the 15th to their place) So by 9:30 we were on our way. We stopped in Sebring for lunch (long and very funny story PM if you wanna hear it lol) Anyways so as we got closer we started to spot the Disney Billboards (Tania "OMG look there a billboard, ooo there's another" hehe :) )

So we finally see the Disney Exits (first the DTD one Tania "Are we going there" "No hun") Then there was the Magic Kingdom/ Epcot one (Tania "That one?" "No hun *giggle*) and then there was the MGM AK exit ("This is ours Tan" "WOOHOO!")

So we passed under the gates and screamed in excitement, it was sunny and hot not a cloud in the sky and we were in DISNEY!!

We pulled up to Coronado Springs and I will never forget Tania's reaction "OMG we're staying HERE! It's amazing!" Last time she was at Disney she was 6, it was rainy and cold and she stasyed at the Travelodge. She had never even SEEN the inside of a Disney hotel.

So we went to check in and I showed Tan around to the Pepper Market and pointed out the pool, the whole time I was blissfully happy as she ooohh and awwwwed :)

We ended up on the second floor water view of the Casitas 1. We had never stayed in the Casitas before so it was new for us. I never realized how BEAUTIFUL they are, the courtyards and fountains and topiaries. We had a view of the lake and the pool was straight across from our room. We got into our room and I turned on the Disney TV channel (Zip a dee doo dah... :P) Tan was mezmerized as was I.

We decided to head over to the pool as it was sunny and 88 degrees (a miracle for March!) She nearly cried when she saw the pool :) She was so amazed and then of course I nearly cried too
We tanned more snd swam. It was great.

After going back to the room and showering we decided to head to DTD (a tradition of ours for the first night) and we ate at wolfgang puck's (yummy! I'm gonna post Dining reviews of my past two Disney Vacations at the Restaurants thread soon!)
To sum it up, I had the BBQ Rotisary Chickn with Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Dad had Pork Snitchel with RGMP, mom had Oscar Night Pizza (Smoked Salmon Pizza) and Tan had Chicken Ceasar salad.

We went to World of Disney where Tan bought me a b-day gift. A cute silver and turquoise Mickey Necklace, very subtle and pretty :) She picked up souvenirs for her family and we just took in how pretty DTD is at night :)

We headed back to Coronado to get some sleep as tomorrow was gonna be on he-- of a day in the parks :)

Coming Soon - Day 5 - MK, Epcot, MGM all in one day AND we had time to RELAX at the pool too! :)
