This was not our official start to our disney vacation. We decided a few months before our vacation to add a day and stay off site for one night so that we could wake up and be right there at disney. This was a suprise to the kids. They started to catch on a little as there noticed there countdown calendar was not adding up right. I was slick about this too.
My husband picked them up from school on Tuesday and told them they would not be going to school the next day and they need to make sure they had everything. All my oldest daughter could say was thanks mom I didnt get to say bye to my friends.
But it didnt take them long to get excited.
I got off work and we loaded the van as soon as I got there. We were on the road by 8:30am headed to orlando. The kids were so excited they didn't even want to stop for bathroom breaks. Which is very odd since we usually stop at least 2 or 3 times
just on the way to ga, which is only a 4 hr trip. We arrived in orlando at around 3:30p.m. We only had to stop for gas 1x and the bathroom 1x, wow that was amazing.
We checked into our hotel and went to do some shopping. We went over to the character store at the buena vista outlet. We were not very impressed with this store. We then headed to dtd.
this is the kiddos as we pass under this wonderful wdw sign.
We were getting hungry by this time as it was already getting dark which ment it had to be close to 9pm. And of all places where do we end up eating dinner. take a guess from the pictures
I of course went in and got our food. I then on the way out dropped 1 of our drinks and had to send my husband back into refill it. What a great start to a vacation.
We then decided to head over and get some mickey ears. I thought it would be great to make some personal ones. Here are a few pictures of the hats.
as will see from most of her pictures she loves to have her picture taken. This is hannah which is now 5.
This is Seth. This is not the hat he got, but threw out the trip loved tring on hats when ever we went into a store. He only wore his hat that very first night. Note the shirt he is wearing: can you tell what it says?
As you can tell from this picture my hubby even wore his mickey ears. He was one of the ones wanting to get them. I personally could have cared less, but I played along and go some. Stay tuned to see just how long I wore those mickey ears and what my big addiction I have now is.
I just realized my son is not wearing his mickey ears in this last picture which was the first night. Wow they didnt last as long as I thought they would.
