Disney World

Day #1:  Disney World

 

On Christmas Day we headed out to Disney World after seeing what Santa brought.  Though we were later than planned, we made it inside.  Not everyone was so lucky as they closed the gates at ~11am due to reaching park capacity.  We were informed that Christmas Day was the 2nd busiest day of the year.  The 1st... New Year's Eve.  Thank goodness for fast passes and dinner reservations otherwise we would have to stand in line for hours.  The longest line we saw was for Snow White's Mine Train rollercoaster... a 120 minutes.

 Lunch was at Tony's Town Square Restaurant.  This was the Italian restaurant where Lady and the Tramp had their first kiss.

 All the kids got spaghetti and a GIANT meatball which they devoured.  Oma & Opa had shrimp entrées.  They best was the desserts.  My favorite was what Opa orders, pistachio crème brulee.

 Disney would not be the same without a set of Mickey Mouse ears.  Oh the decisions of which one to pick.

 The Speedway was a hit for everyone.  Micah and Izzy drove while Victoria preferred to have mommy drive our car.

 Aladdin's Magic Carpet Ride was the favorite ride for Izzy, Micah & Victoria.  Before leaving, we rode this a total of three times.  The carpet let the front riders move it up or down.  The back riders could tip it forward or backwards.  The best was trying to avoid the spitting camel spraying water on you.

 Two separate nights Opa, myself and Izzy headed back to Disney World.  One night was for the Main Street Electrical Parade.  We weren't expecting to see Elsa light up the castle which was beautiful against the night sky.

 

Instead of riding the magic carpets a 4th time, we elected to ride an oldie... Dumbo.
