We started off our day here at Shades of Green (the military owned resort located here at Disney) with breakfast at the buffet and a bus ride over to get our discount tickets turned into real Disney passes.
This was a picture I took on the ride over to the Ticket and Transportation Center...already tired and it's just 8 in the morning...ahhh! He is such a sweet big brother, in fact they both were very solicitous to their little sister today.
One of our first views upon coming into the Magic Kingdom...a Christmas tree, the American flag, and the Cinderella Castle.
Sissi and I in front of the Cinderella Castle.
It's Christmas time, the most wonderful time of the year...and we got to see the place all dressed up, people dancing, and all kinds of special Christmas-y type stuff.
Indy and the kids in front of the castle.
One of our first stops...no, THE first stop, was the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse. We LOVE that movie, the book, the whole story, and it was an awesome thing to walk through the treehouse with the kids.
The view of the castle from the treehouse (do you think I like the castle?)
LOVED this...Zanzibar, and all the people we know there and the numerous times we've visited there.
A spitting camel.
Sissi with Jasmine and Aladdin!
The Jungle Cruise and the hippos.
Elephants, playing in the water on the Jungle Cruise.
I love "weird face" pictures...I'm keeping the "good" ones too, but this was too cute, and showed too much personality, not to share.
Just a cute shot of her walking along on Tom Sawyer's Island.
Yep! We went to Samuel "L" Clemens "Fort" on Tom Sawyer Island. A great place to walk and play!
My oldest...such a handsome young man.
Another "seriously cute" shot of the real Gwangi.
My Indy...I remember the first time we ever went on the "Haunted Mansion" ride together.
Sissi, playing the organ as we waited in line.
Another "real life" picture opportunity...waiting in what was supposed to be a 20 minute line to see Rapunzel and Snow White...this was what I saw at about 40 minutes, give or take a few.
Yes, she wasn't thrilled with the super long wait.
Finally, we're getting ready to go in...Cinderella's Glass Slipper.
We got to meet Rapunzel...
...and, Snow White!
Then, while we were meeting princesses, the boys went shooting in the arcade and got us Fast Passes for the Winnie the Pooh ride.
By about 3:30 or so, we were ready to enter Tomorrowland...and the Speedway!
I let her drive...later, I rode with Krypto, she is a better driver ;)...
One of my favorite rides growing up. I heard a lot of screaming from behind me on this one...Gwangi says he won't go back. Then, he changed his mind and said we NEEDED to go back, we asked him why. He responded that he left his stomach there, we had to go back to get it ;).
Yes, Buzz Lightyear was a hit. We did it twice!
Krypto's first "favorite" Disney character!
We got to meet some old friends for dinner, and also our second spin on the Speedway and ride through Buzz Lightyear. Thanks for spending the time with us Jerry and Kim, it was a blessing!
What we saw as we left the park tonight! An amazing first day! Tomorrow is a "down day"...the pool, some friends visiting from Tampa...we'll see what we come up with!
