Arriving at Disney

In addition to what follows, there was a DEFINITE favorite activity while we drove to Disney: Creating our "Disney Jokes." If we had time, I would have printed these up with Leia & Annie's picture to give to some castmembers with the "Magic." Most of these Leia Rose created on her own:

• What is the first thing you see when you look at Walt Disney World? The letter "W"
• What kind of key opens Walt Disney World? A Mic-key
• What kind of chick can you find at Walt Disney World? Chick-a-Pin Hill in Frontierland

• What kind of bow do you wear at Walt Disney World? A Dum-bo
• What ride at Walt Disney World do you ride during a storm? Thunder Mountain Railroad
• When are there rats at Walt Disney World? When you ride Pie-rats of the Carribean
• When do you see a bell at Walt Disney World? When you go and see Tinker Bell
• When do you "sell" at Walt Disney World? When you ride Cinderella's Golden Carou-sell
• When do you hear jazz at Walt Disney World? When Princess Jasmine talks to you
• When do you see a cot at Walt Disney World? At Ep-cot
• When do you "crush" at Walt Disney World? At Turtle Talk in Epcot
• What kind of magic happens at Walt Disney World at night? Spectro Magic
• What ride at Walt Disney World holds the entire earth? It's a Small World
• What Disney character has a big knee? Minnie
• When do you see white at Walt Disney World? When you meet Snow White
• When is it time to go to bed at Walt Disney World? When you see Sleeping Beauty
• What is at the end of the Magic Kingdom? The letter "M"

The "long" drive to Disney wasn't quite as long as we expected. This is because the girls saw a movie, did an activity, played with figures, . . . and then repeated the set of three things. A favorite was the cool paint set from Maureen featuring the Disney princesses! : )

Arrival at Port Orleans Riverside, complete with our traditional jumping on the bed!

Then there was our first Disney bus ride (Annie is holding the little Mickey that I got when I was Leia's age). . .

And Annie's first Disney monorail ride EVER!

A quick picture of Leia Rose in front of the pretty Mickey flowers by the Magic Kingdom, and then it was time to enter! : ) Let the magic begin . . .
