Disney Day 1




We just got back from our Family Disney World Vacation! This was Colby's 2nd time and Lindsay's 1st! So exciting to bring little kids there!
So Sunday we left our house around 7am to get to the airport. We had a 9:30 flight. The kids did really well getting to the airport and through security and such. We didn't have to wait long for our plane either which was great! Both also did awesome on the flight. Lindsay sat by Austin and I and Colby was with my parents. I packed snacks for the kids to eat since I knew we would be flying & traveling during their normal lunch hour. We arrived in Orlando around 11:30. We went straight to the Disney busses which again was really simple we walked right on! During the bus ride the kids just enjoyed watching the Disney cartoons and resting. We got to the hotel and it took a little bit to get checked in but once we did we were able to go up to our rooms. We stayed at the Bay Lake Towers this time! The rooms were very nice. We had a queen bed and the kids slept on the full sofa bed. We also had a small kitchen which was nice with kiddos. After unpacking and settling in we decided to go ahead to the parks. When we first arrived in the park a parade was going on. It was so cute to see Lindsay light up at the sight of the characters! She was waving and pointing...it was adorable! I think one of my favorite moments of the entire trip! Just seeing the magic through her eyes!
Our first ride was Peter Pan's Flight. We did a fast pass for this b/c everytime I have been the wait is really long. The kids really liked it as their first ride. Afterwards we had a Fast Pass for Big Thunder Mountain. It was exciting this year b/c Colby was tall enough to ride the big rides! He loved the roller coaster. We were fortunate with having my parents along they took Lindsay to the play area while we rode with him. After the ride we went to do Country Bear Jamboree. I think the kids really enjoyed the show and got into it!
After the show we headed back to the monorail for our dinner reservations at Grand Floridian. Its always nice to go back to that hotel. I really wish we could have spent more time walking around and enjoying the sights but we were all so tired by that point. The dinner was awesome though! We were all starving since we skipped lunch. The kids were a little antsy this night. I don't blame them though it had been a full day! After dinner we went back to our hotel and crashed for the evening!
