My alarm went off at 5am and i managed to struggle myself out of bed to get dressed etc then about 5.45 i woke up my daughter Kyra and got her dressed while i waited for mum and dad to get themselves sorted.

At 7am we had left and was on our way to Ashford International, as soon as we got there Kyra noticed the big Mickey sign and was getting all excited, we then checked in and Kyra played in the kids section while i chilled with my mum and dad, then it was time to board the train. I was a bit worried about the train leaving before we had all our luggage on etc but it all went smoothly.

Our train stopped to wait for clearence at the tunnel only to find out another train had broken down and we would have to wait to enter the tunnel till the train had been fixed, i wasnt impressed as we had to wait up to 45mins for it to be sorted. I personally felt Eurostar wasnt that fast, we was meant to arrive at Disney at 12.37 but ended up arriving at 2.45.

We found the shuttle bus and was then on our way to the Santa Fe, where we checked in and found our room. It wasnt too far away from the reception itself. I think they need to have more lighting as sometimes i found it rather dark and nearly got lost going back to the room.....anyway we put our luggage away sorted ourselves out and headed off to the magic kingdom.

When we got there we went straight to fantasy land where i took Kyra on the carosel then Dumbo which she loved, then we realised the parade was starting to we stopped to watch that in which my daughter decided to cry all the way through it. I think she was very tired by this stage and was a bit overwhelmed and i was worried that she was going to cry everytime she met a character.

After the parade which i loved, and by this time was already humming "just like we dreamed it" we decided to go and eat so we went to the rain forest cafe, the food was really nice and it was nice and quite, it started to get busy by the time we left. We had a mooch around Disney village and i brought Kyra a minnie balloon in which we went back to the hotel to get some rest and get ready for the fun filled day that would be tomorrow.
 
That's a quickly post TP :)

Hope Kyra gets over being overwhelmed :goodvibes

Looking forward to hearing about the rest of your trip.
 

Oooh sounds like a great start apart from the train. I've got the parade song stuck in my head now LOL. I love that so much.
Can't wait to read the rest.
