Cam says on our first day finally at Disney..HI DISNEY...WE MISSED YOU!!!!!
Three cheers again for Disney staff and the disability pass! We had no difficulties gaining a pass and they seemed appreciative that I knew what I needed (stroller as wheelchair and use alternate entrance stamps). I took a little risk this year and asked if they might allow special exceptions to the 6 person limit since we were not a group but a mom and dad with six minor children. They did some investigating then said we would create a file in their records (which can be used again at any visit in the future) that would mention this and would allow us eight people on the pass. This would streamline any difficulties we'd have at various high population rides (where they tended to stick to only 6 on the pass). This proved to be a blessing to have a file as well when I misplaced the card today and they could look it up in the computer and reprint everything) YEAH for Disney!
Today was Caelyn's Family Day! It was cute also to watch her walking around the park this year taking her own pictures on her camera..I'm not sure what happened to my little princess ..it's been 7 wonderful years!
Cam is all ready..Mom's chai and the map! Let's go!! We enjoyed some old favorites at Magic Kingdom today and also went to the newer area of Fantasyland. We really enjoyed the Under the Sea ride..it was well done and sweet without much that was scary in it!
Outside of Pooh Corner..Caelyn used some of her money from grandparents to buy a Mickey necklace with a "C" on it in honor of her family day..she is always so sweet and appreciative of anything! We mentioned to the cashier about her Family Day and it was so nice of her to make a big deal of it and give us all "I'm Celebrating" pins which was great!
While the older kids went on Big Thunder Mountain, we took the little kids over to Tom Sawyer's Island..Caelyn and Cameron remembered our current school studies about life on the Mississippi and Robert Fulton inventing the steamboat this was pretty exciting for them!
Corey's helper/friend and respite provider, Miss Dianne, introduced him to the story of Dumbo this past year and ever since then Corey has talked about the Dumbo ride and how he hoped it was open this year (after being closed last year) He has a little cold but started to perk up when we got in line!
Look Mom ..I found my smile!
One of the things I love about my big kids..they aren't afraid to take a picture with the little ones in an elephant...especially for their little brother!
Buzz Lightyear remains one of our favorite rides. I don't know how it happened but there were witnesses to see that somehow I got all the high targets and got a score of 999,999 :)
We aren't complaining..but it sure is HOT here! It's a big adjustment coming from where it was winter! We stopped to see the Celebrate a Dream Come True parade at 3pm and love that just as much as always!
We went back to our resort to take a small break then had Pizza Hut for dinner (thanks to friends who gave us this gift card!) We arrived back at Magic Kingdom in time for the fireworks over Cinderella's castle and this year we stood on the bridge where you could see Tinkerbell flying down from the castle to the wire near us which was a fun site! We rode a few more rides and then we were able to see the Main Street Electrical parade (it was not showing last year so this was a first for many of the kids!)..it was a lot of fun and we had a good view! As we danced and laughed at the base of Cinderella's castle..Caelyn looked up at me and said "This is the best family day EVER" I couldn't have agreed more!
