Our first day in Florida we arrived at our hotel about 4 o'clock. Which was perfect because we weren't planning anything major other than just getting accustomed to our surroundings and hotel room. I was really worried that Abi wouldn't sleep in the hotel, because she's never really slept anywhere except her own room, or a cot at daycare. But she did fantastic. In all honesty, she did really well the entire trip.
So Tuesday we set off to Epcot to see Jasmine (because I didn't see a schedule for her at the Magic Kingdom and she is Abi's favorite princess!) We made sure she was first in line and Abi was just thrilled to meet Jasmine and Aladdin!
Most of the day was really a free for all. We had a few fast passes to things like the Undersea adventure with Nemo and reservations for lunch and dinner, but really we just walked and found whatever we could that didn't have a horrible wait. It was hot, but there was a cool breeze and a little rain to make things bearable. Abi got carried by my husband much of the day because we didn't realize you could rent a stroller. Oops, lol. She didn't seem to want to do a whole lot, and was kinda grumpy until after lunch (no where near as grumpy as on Thursday at the Magic Kingdom..!)
It was a nice day, with a not-so-crowded park, and those few extra awesome moments that made every penny and grumpy moment so worth it.
We got to me Mulan, who was my favorite of the day! She really took time to interact with Abi and they had a conversation about the flowers on their clothes. It was so cute!
This is grumpy face. Even in front of Elsa. She's my teenager in the making... We are in so much trouble.
We had lunch at the aquarium, which was absolutely awesome! Unfortunately I didn't get to sit where I could really see the fish very well, and I had to keep turning away from my family to look. But the food was fabulous!
When we couldn't find things we really wanted to do, we went to the Disney film festival and that was such a trip! 3 short films in 3d/4d and oh man, to see the look on Abi's face was priceless! So I'm really glad we did that. Then we went to the Living with the Land ride (which was conveinently beneath our dinner at the Chip and Dales Harvest) That was really cool! Did you know Disney is trying to be self sustaining? They grow hundreds of crops and farm fish that are served in their restaurants!! The ride was really neat, and everyone enjoyed it. Even Abi wanted to go again!
Epcot was full of the random, lets do this or look over there. We were there way too late, and Abi passed out before we could even read her a book! That was, in my opinion, the best day of our trip.
Wednesday, we didn't go to a park because we felt we should have a rest day between them. It was a great idea because it rained a lot of the day. In the morning we went to the Polynesian resort for breakfast at the Kona Cafe, and what a nice little taste of Hawaii that was! It was so good we even decided to go back the next morning.
When we had a break in the weather, we went swimming in the piano shaped pool at our resort. Oh my goodness! Abi's first time swimming and she is such a little fish! She had a life jacket on and she just wanted to swim my herself! I couldn't believe it. I so enjoyed the swim, but man, getting out of the pool was tough.. I felt like 1,000 lbs. Yuck. Back in our room we had some rest time and a little tv/coloring/napping. Really it was just a nice relaxing day.
I'll finish up our trip in another post.. There's a lot more to say! :0)
