Disney - Day 1

We woke up the girls on Sunday morning bright and early and surprised them with the news we were going to DisneyWorld! They were a little groggy and it took a few minutes for it all to sink in. Morgan is very slow to wake up, but her major concern was that Elsa was going to freeze her when we got there. They perked up pretty fast and were so excited!

Our flight was delayed almost 1.5 hours due to a door not closing issue. Talk about a bummer, especially with two kiddos that couldn't wait to get in the air and get to our destination. We were on the plane the whole time, too. Morgan did surprisingly well considering she hates sitting! But, I had packed them each a backpack full of toys, so she was happy. The flight was smooth, other than that. Morgan played the entire flight. Avery napped for about half of the flight.

Morgan's set up - lots of ponies!

We took the shuttle to the hotel from the airport. Morgan could barely keep her eyes open! She finally crashed and got a little power nap in.

Excited to get going to the hotel

And just a few minutes later... she's out!

We dropped our bags off in our room and then grabbed a late lunch at the hotel. We stayed at the Grand Floridian. We picked that hotel because it was on the monorail and this being our first trip, we wanted the convenience of being close to MK. We did the meal plan, which ended up working really well for us.

On Sunday night, we had dinner at Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary hotel. I forgot to take the girls' autograph books with us to dinner. Oops! I didn't think they'd get into the whole autograph thing, but they really did. Anyway, both girls started off a little leery of the characters. But, they eventually warmed up! Morgan warmed up faster than Avery, which I totally expected.

Had to pick Morgan up to get a picture with Goofy; Avery watched

Morgan posed with Donald without any problems

Donald stood behind Avery for a picture - smart!

Morgan loved Pluto - and a photo bomb by Mickey

Avery got a little braver

We caught the electric boat parade from our balcony at the hotel, which was really loud! We had a lagoon view and if we looked to the left around a tree, we could see castle and MK and the fireworks. We were in room 8237 in the Boca Chica building. Our hotel had a huge Christmas tree in the lobby.
