Disney Day 1

This week we just arrived home from Disney World. We had a wonderful time! It was just the best trip. Well let me start at the beginning. 
So we left bright and early Wednesday morning. Our flight was for 8 so we left the house at 6 to head to the airport. We got there smoothly and got checked in without any issues. We actually ended up not having much extra time so it felt like we arrived and basically walked onto the plane. Which with 2 excited kids was great! Colby chose to sit between Austin and I on the plane. He did great and was such a little man! We arrived in Orlando at 10:30. Once again we got to the Disney Bus and to our hotel with no issue. We even arrived and found that our room was ready before we arrived so we walked in the hotel and straight to our room! That was fantastic! 
We cleaned up a bit then headed downstairs to get a bite of lunch. We ate and then were off to the Magic Kingdom. We hopped on the Monorail and took the circle tour around the resorts. 
When we got in Magic Kingdom we decided to head first for Fantasy Land. We went to ride the Little Mermaid ride. Ofcourse Lindsay loved this ride. It was a nice way to begin our trip. After that we had Fast Passes to meet Cinderella and Elena. We also rode Dumbo. That was a nice break time for us all since you get to go in a room and wait until they page you to go ride. We did that...Lindsay was in awe I think of the princesses. Our next thing to do was The Haunted Mansion. By this time my mom was getting tired. The wait was long also for the Haunted Mansion so she decided to sit out while we all rode that. It was a long, hot wait but the ride was fun. Lindsay rode between Austin and I. Afterwards we had Fast Passes for Splash Mountain. Once again my mom decided to sit this part out. I was proud of my dad though for going with us. This was the first time both kids rode Splash Mountain so they were a little fearful but ended up loving it. They didn't love getting wet but I think they overall liked the ride. 
After that we headed over to the Liberty Tree Tavern for dinner. We were excited b/c we remembered how good it was the last time. It was a fun and yummy family dinner. It was about a 2 hour affair though so by the time it was over the kids were antsy and ready to go! After dinner my parents were pretty tired so they decided to go ahead back to the hotel. We had a fast pass for Big Thunder Mountain so we went to do that. Both absolutely loved the roller coaster. After that ride we headed up to the castle to watch the fireworks show. While we were there I got a text from Melissa saying they were at the Magic Kingdom...so after the show we went to meet up with them. It was so fun seeing friends and the kids loved seeing each other. Especially Colby and Ella! We ended up watching the castle show with them before heading out for the evening. By the time we got to the hotel it was about 10. We were all so tired that night! It was a quick bath and get the kids off to bed kinda night!
