Our First Day at Disney World

THIS POST MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS. I MAY EARN FROM QUALIFYING PURCHASES.

The day we got to Disney, the girls were so enamored with the pool that was the only thing they wanted to do. They had no idea exactly what Disney World was (and we hadn’t talked about the trip until the day of for fear of them driving us crazy).

Once we explained that the castle from their beloved movies was there, they were ready to go!

The castle

We were all excited to be there!

So excited

We ended up walking into Magic Kingdom right when they were having a parade. See, it’s always magic at Disney.

Chip even came up and said hi!

Some people like carousels. Me, not so much. So they waited in the very short line to get a ride.

So happy to ride with daddy. And I was happy to stand on terra firma!

And, of course, Dumbo. I did this one. Whew, the spinning.

And, of course, the Little Mermaid ride. Grandma hadn’t seen the story, so I was explaining it all to her as we went around. She was confused.

And, yes, they did get to go back and swim in the pool! Making them happy was important! Happy splashy girls. And, E was taking a long, much needed nap!

And the pool!

I went to Epcot for a little welcoming session and to hear Chris Powell speak, then the families joined us!

Then we had a tasty dinner and entertainment. Mickey sighting and all. (Who knew I would pick such a perfect table?)

Then, we hiked over one of the countries in Epcot where there was a fabulous dessert spread. 10 pounds I gained from looking at all of this! Yum!

The girls and grandma couldn’t have been more thrilled to be there.

And, wrapped the late evening with fireworks.

It couldn’t have been a more magical and enchanted day! My girls are already asking when we will go again!

As participants in the Disney Social Media Moms Conference 2013 we paid our conference fee, which included hotel accommodations, park tickets, meals, and other gift items. I was not required, or asked, to write about the conference, events, or speakers. The honest opinions are my own and that of my family.

  3. Oh this looks like so much fun! I love seeing Mickey perform. Wasn’t the new Little Mermaid ride great? I can’t wait to see everything after phase 2 of the Fantasyland expansion.

    it was very magical. Disney went above and beyond with the entertainment.

  13. Wow!! Looks you guys had fun and that is a great table (right in front). The treats look yummy!

  14. I am not a mom yet, but this is one thing I am very much looking forward to! I cannot wait until my husband and I start a family, and the kids are old enough to understand Disney so that we can go. The thought of children getting to see their favorite characters in real life is so exciting to me!
