Disney Trip - Sunday

We had 6 full days in Orlando (got there on Saturday night and left the next Saturday morning). We had 4 day park hopper passes for Disney so we decided to do parks on Sunday and Monday, take a break from parks on Tuesday and then do parks again Wednesday and Thursday.

Christmas time at Disney

We started at Magic Kingdom on Sunday. We knew that would probably be a favorite with the kids and that we would probably head back there a few more times.

The original plan was to get to the park right as it was opening, but due to everyone being tired from traveling the couple days before we got a little bit of a late start. We were already about a half hour past park opening time when everyone started making sandwiches and getting other lunch items together to take with us. Once we got there we were at least an hour after park opening time and we spent about half an hour or longer transferring our military discount passes for actual Disney passes, fingerprints, etc. We weren't in the park very long before the kids were already hungry for lunch.

We took a little time out to eat sandwiches and ride another ride or two, but the lines were starting to get really long and we got word from Justin's brother (who lives in Orlando) that they were there to meet us. We met up with them and chatted for a bit, but our kids didn't want to just be standing around chatting - they were there to have fun! And the twins had reached their limit and really needed to take naps. My mom and dad volunteered to take the twins back to the resort and let them nap while Justin and I stayed with Jacob.

Jacob was just barely tall enough to ride Big Thunder Mountain Railroad but I think it is safe to say that he LOVED it! He also liked running into Woody and Jessie after taking a bathroom break while we waited to ride.

We called it quits around 4pm or 5pm that day to head back to the resort and have some dinner.

The first day was a little rough since we started out later than planned, the park was the most crowded this day because it was a weekend day and we were all kind of feeling out what worked best. One thing was certain though - the kids really liked the rides and any characters they saw!

Jacob was actually a little obsessed with Ariel's belly button and kept trying to touch it

The big Anderson boys wanted a picture with Ariel too
