DISNEY!!!!!

First, we arrived around 11 AM at Weeki Wachee, FL, the city of Mermaids. They have real LIVE mermaids. It is about 2 hours outside of Disney. Gabriella enjoyed the shows and boat ride. At this point she still had no idea about Disney, she thought we drove all that way to see the Mermaids.







After a fun day of Mermaids we headed towards Disney and Gabriella passed out in the car and slept the whole way. We stopped to eat and then headed to the resort. When driving through the gates she knew. Gabriella doesn't quite know to read yet, BUT she does recognize symbols and logos. So when we went through the gates of the resort she knew. Of course I did the video camera wrong but I did get a clip of us driving to the hotel.

We're at Disney World!

We got up early again Sunday morning, Gabriella's Birthday, and headed to the Magic Kingdom. I think Brian and I were so giddy. My heart was racing with excitement. We try to do it all in the two days we spent there. We had lunch at Cinderella's Round Table, AMAZING! Totally worth it. Gabriella met all of the Princesses, got a wand and a Wishing Star. The food was incredible! I wish I took pictures of our 3 courses that was included, simply delicious! I am going to do a character meal again, whenever the next time will be, it was perfect!












I think we got most of the big name charcter autographs and pictures. We did miss Pluto and Daisy.






Gabriella did pretty good about not being too scared. We did have to leave before the Tiki Birds came on, because she was scared, but we returned later and she loved it. That was pretty much the case for anything she did not know the outcome, except the parade and fireworks. Gabriella wanted nothing to do with those events.

It was so hot! We were only there from Saturday-Tuesday and all of us went through all of our clothes, showered or bathed at least 2-3 times a day. Not only was it HOT, it did rain everyday, which is normal for Florida. We only got caught in it once, the other times we were back at the room resting.








The last morning we rode the Ferry Boat and the Monarail around to Epcot, so Gabriella could see the giant Spaceship Earth. After that we headed back home. It is two days after our return and I am still tried for the trip. All and all, FATASTIC time. I can't wait to share more memories with Brayden when he is old enough.
