Disney World!! Our departure, arrival, and Day 1

I tried to think of a really clever title for this post.  But try as I may, I could not think of way for DISNEY WORLD to sound any more magical than it already is?  My whole face lights up at it's very utterance and I can't seem to stop smiling for days.

Yes.  It is really that magical.

Can you even begin to imagine our excitement when Santa gave us Disney World Magic Bands!!??

Landry thought she wasn't going to get to go to Disney World until she was 17 and I have to admit, I thought she was not too far off with that idea.  We're thankful that God not only provides for our needs, but sometimes even for those childhood dreams we have.

We left on a Saturday and spent six UNBELIEVABLE days at the Disney Parks.  I took around…….1000 pictures.  No surprise to anyone, I'm sure.

Because there is just too much excitement (and too many pictures) for anyone to handle in one sitting, I figured I'd post about one day at a time.  :)

Two excited little kids at 6:30 a.m. ready to take a LONG car ride.  I forgot to mention that Coop stayed home with the most wonderful GiGi and PawPaw ever!

And here we are arriving at the Happiest Place on Earth!!!

Upon arrival, we had to do a little bed jumpin'...

….and chair sittin'….

…and peep hole peepin'.

We don't get out much.

We had a pretty hard time getting to sleep that night, but we eventually caught a few winks then woke up the next morning to get all suited up!

 Dental hygiene is important, even for Mickey Mouse

And after we perfected our smiles….

We finally arrived at Main Street in the Magic Kingdom!!!

We may have stopped at every photographer to get a picture... ;)

And there is my little princess twirling in front of Cinderella's castle.  She had been dying to see it!

She was starstruck as we walked in to meet Rapunzul and Snow White

Then we walked on the WILD side with a carousel ride

We ate lunch at the Beast's Castle.  I will be anyone's guest if they give me desert's like these!

And then we got even more wild and crazy and ventured on to the teacups!

Finally it was time for the mini space ranger to meet his space ranger hero

 He was little nervous at first.  Mommy's leg seemed like a safe place to hide.

Then he realized that Buzz really was a super cool dude (especially since his expression never. ever. changes)

 To infiniti….and BEYOND!

Enchanted Tales with Belle was next, where Lan got to play the role of the Beast

 She wasn't too sure about it at first.  She's much more accustomed to playing the role of a princess.  But she dug down deep and roared a great roar!

 We were so proud!

Pretty sure this little guy could have played a pretty fierce beast, himself.

That night we stayed out late watching the Electrical Parade and Fireworks

By the end of the night, all Lan could exclaim was: "Disney World is so good!  And Great and Fun!!!"
