So the day finally came! After winning the Southwest contest around Thanksgiving time, this trip was always in the background, something we looked forward to, something we talked about. But how would it REALLY be?
We landed in Orlando mid day. We decided the first day would be just swimming at the pool and then hit the ground running the next morning. And what a pool we had!
Here's Caeley showing no fear flying down the water slide! She loved this thing, actually everyone did!
"SUPERMAN!!!!"
The plan worked like a charm. The kids were tuckered out quite early. We had a wonderful suite with a bedroom in the back and a living room area in the front. This worked out very nicely for us to watch the series finale of "Lost" that night.
Our first ride was the Dumbo ride. It was a little overwhelming for all of us at first. But after we learned the power of the Fast Pass (free service that tells you when to come back so you don't have to wait in obscene lines) we started getting the hang of it.

Mid day there was a great performance right in front of the castle with all the favorites, especially PRINCESSES!
For those of you who don't know, Elijah LOVES Buzz Lightyear. One of his favorite things to say before he jumps off anything is "to infinity...and beyond!" He was so so excited to meet him! Here he does a pose down with Buzz (Uncle Robbie would be so proud!)
After a very long and HOT day, we cooled off on the way back to the hotel with a nice cold fruit smoothie. It was a great beginning to a great trip!!
