Florida Trip 1

All right, all right, I know I need to do some posting on our biggest family vacay to date!   On Tuesday, the 15th, the boys got to experience their first-ever plane ride, complete with photo ops in the cockpit.  They were very good on the plane overall.



Wednesday morning, we awoke very early to go to the Magic Kingdom!


While we were waiting at the entrance, a "cast member" (as Disney staff are known) came out and said he needed some volunteers; a family of around 4 or 5 with "big smiles and nice teeth", and with a camera.  Kedron shot his hand up, and we were chosen as the "stroller family of the day!"  We got to enter Main Street before the park opened for anyone else, and the cast member took lots of family pictures of us!  How cool is that?



Then, immediately as the park opened, it was off to Fantasyland to ride Dumbo and the Great Goofini! We got to ride the first 1 or 2 cycles of the day on both.







If you're planning to visit Disney World, I can't overemphasize how important it is to go in with a plan.  We did our research, went in with a plan, got there early for the opening "drop line," and rode 10 rides in the first 3 hours.  We didn't wait longer than 20 minutes for a ride all day long.

More pics to come!
