We took the girls to Disney World Magic Kingdom for the first time yesterday.  It was a blast!  The only long wait was to see Ariel.  I think she must have had a stomach problem- she kept taking breaks.  The girls danced with glee to every scrap of music we heard.  They squealed every time they saw a character.  They absolutely loved getting autographs in their books, too.

We had good traffic, pretty good weather considering we had 3 nights in a row this week of freaky below freezing temps, and good food.  Jim also made sure that the girls each got some ears to commemorate their first trip- custom-made ones no less!

Our favorite rides/attractions were Peter Pan, Buzz Lightyear's space invaders thing (we rode that one twice- the second time I scored 119,700 points- a family record, and it has to be a park record, too), the Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor, the parade, the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, the Mickey Dream show in front of Cinderella's castle, the Indy Speedway (Jim and AM drove that one since "expectant mothers" were not allowed), meeting the princesses and Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and the fireworks.  Yep, we stayed all the way until closing time (8:00).  I was surprised they made it that long myself, but Disney worked it's magic- right up until the time we had to wait 20 minutes to get on the monorail to the parking lot.  We made it home about 11:00.  The girls slept good on the way home and today we don't have much to do but recoup.

We already know what we want to do next time, which will probably be awhile from now considering what will happen in our lives over the next few months!  But we're very grateful for a super fun family day at one of the world's favorite places.
