Disney Part 1

To get thru all of Disney, it will take several posts. We had a fabulous time and I think we enjoyed it just as much as Emerson. We only did Magic Kingdom and are pleased with that decision. In 2 days we did it all and were at the park as the gates opened in the morning and as they closed every night. I have very few memories from when I went as a kid, but it is so funny how you are impressed with completely different things as an adult and a parent. The only way to describe the park was Magical. I know everyone describes it as such, but it really is. Everything about the park was wonderful. The employees greeted you with a smile and seemed to want to be there. There was always someone to help and they actually knew what they were talking about. The place was spotless and so well kept. Emerson loved every second and was so excited to see and ride and watch everything we could. Of course, her favorite was, It's A Small World! But she also enjoyed see all the characters and having lunch in the castle with Cinderella and other princesses. She was so good on this trip and thanked us over and over again when we got home.

This is the morning we left and we kept it a secret until we were getting it the car. She seemed excited, but did not really grasp what we were talking about. Our trip overlapped with Rachel, Lee and Katherine's trip, so she was also excited about getting to spend some time with Katherine at Disney. This is in the Lobby at the Polynesian.

We arrived in Orlando around lunch on Friday, so we headed to Downtown Disney to get that out of the way. We did some shopping, early dinner and bed at a reasonable time to get ready for the next 2 days in Magic Kingdom. Everything was decorated for Christmas, so it made thing that much more exciting.
