Walt Disney World Day 1 & 2

We were actually in the air before the sun came up on Saturday morning!
Everything went well with the flight. The kids were excited to be flying again!

This was the first picture I took in Disney World.
We arrived at our resort late in the afternoon. We had not eaten, and it was pouring down rain, so we decided to get a bite to eat. We felt much better and ready to explore!
We did not want to use our park passes on just a few hours in the park, so we headed down to Downtown Disney. This picture was taken at Lego Land, these people are made of Legos!
We did not get into The Magic Kingdom until Sunday morning. The girls and I couldn't wait to see the castle!!! This was our first peek!!!

As we entered the park, we headed for Fantasy land... and Alice and the Madhatter were waiting for us there!!! The girls got to ride the tea cups with Alice!! What a way to start our vacation! They were very excited, and when I asked them later that night what their favorite part of the day was, this was Kait's!

We had brunch with some Playhouse Disney friends at MGM.
Drew was excited to see some of his friends from TV!
We participated in a Pep Rally for the High School Musical.
This was a street show and it was really fun! The girls loved it!
We had a really great day hopping between MGM and The Magic Kingdom! It was such a busy day I din't even remember what all we did. The kids have enjoyed getting autographs from all of the charactures. This one was actually taken at 1am as we were leaving the park!!
Can you believe it!? 1:00 in the morning!!! Our day started at 6:30am! It was a long day, but boy did we have fun!

That's not to say that the kids weren't tired! Check out these shots of Khloe and Drew waiting for the fireworks at 10pm. Khloe is laying on my leg in the middle of Main Street and Drew was sitting up!!


Here are some great shots that I got of the castle durring the "Wishes" firework presentation...

I was so excited to see the pictures, i thought we would have to wait until you got back!! Thanks so much for sharing. Looks like you are having a blast!! When we went when kristopher was in Kindergarden we sat in front of the castle right by a little pond/lake thing on a bench, it was magical to see the little fairy fly over our heads and the fireworks begin. It was one of my most favorite times there.

Kiss the kids for me!! I can't wait to see more pictures!!

PS Did you get the pictures I sent you of Kait and Kristopher?
