Disney World-Part 1

On New Year's Eve, we headed to Columbia to drop off Baby Bo with Memema. We spent the night there and headed to Disney the next morning. Miller did a great job in the car despite taking NO nap the whole time. When we arrived at our first hotel, Port Orleans Riverside, Miller was immediately given a balloon from a random kid. We knew we were off to a good start!


We checked in and headed to the Polynesian for dinner at Kona Cafe, where Miller enjoyed some Mickey Head ravioli.

Actually, she didn't  really eat it. She ate a bowl of strawberry yogurt. Oh, well. After dinner, we got our first Dole Whip (yum!) and went for a ride on the monorail. Miller LOVED it and has said that was one of her favorite parts of the trip. On the way back to the hotel, Baby Girl fell asleep in the car. This was the ONLY time she fell asleep the whole trip. No naps the entire time!


She woke up briefly to get in some princess jammies and take pictures with her Tiana bed,             complete with LED fireworks!                                                                                                                                           


The nest morning,we headed to the Magic Kingdom. Miller was so excited to see Cinderella's REAL castle. She actually got her first glimpse of it the night before out the window of the Polynesian, but I didn't know that was about to happen so I missed the photo op.                                                                                  


The first thing we did was ride the train to Fantasyland. 


This is my favorite picture of all time. See that charm on her Magic Band? Some random lady on the bus to the Magic Kingdom had three of those on hers. When she saw Miller looking at them, she insisted on giving her one. She tried to give her all three, but I talked her down. Basically, everywhere we went people just kept giving this kid stuff. It was crazy!                                                                                                     



Look at that happy girl! We got off the train and went straight to Dumbo. She loved it. Then we headed into the little circus tent, where we met Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse, and Goofy with hardly any lines. 




Then, we headed to Enchanted Tales With Bell. Fred was chosen immediately to be a night in the little play-bahahaha! He loves to get up in front of people, so it was perfect. (Sarcasm font.) Poor Miller wanted a part, but when she went up to get one, Belle just never did see her little tiny self so she just hung out with Knight Daddy instead. 


Note how Fred looks so comfortable here. Ha!  After Belle, we rode the Barnstormer. I thought Miller would be fine since it's a kid roller coaster. It scared the bejeezus out of her. Mom fail. Luckily, she recovered quickly. Next, we went to meet some princesses at Rapunzel's Fairy Tale Hall. 


Does anybody else find this particular Rapunzel a little creepy? Yikes. Next, we went to ride the carousel. 



So, check out Cinderella's castle. Is it looking a little ominous here? That's because it was about to pour down rain like crazy! It rained on and off a little and we broke out the ponchos and soldiered on.  

We rode the teacups and Fred and Miller did the Tomorrowland Speedway in the rain. 


Then, the bottom dropped out. We made a mad dash for the Little Mermaid ride and got absolutely soaked. Then, we headed back to the hotel  to get ready for our princess dinner at 1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian.                                                                                                             





Snow White turned out to be a sleepy hot mess at dinner, but she had a great time meeting          Cinderella, Prince Charming (she was smitten!), and the Stepmother and Stepsisters. That was all for day one. We took a very worn out girl back to our hotel for the rest of the stay, Saratoga Springs, and went to bed!
