Well, we made it through Disney in three days and four nights. What a whirlwind trip. Grace had a great time seeing all the characters, giving hugs and kisses, getting signatures in her autograph book and multitudes of pictures. We have over two hundred pictures from the three cameras and some from the nice folks at Disney too. If I learned anything, it is do not go in June, especially five months pregnant. Talk about drinking water, long walks and swollen feet. Plus we took a two hour nap everyday in the middle of everything. Except for the ride home, stopping every hour, I did well in all the parks. I appreciated staying on Disney property and the ability to go to the hotel whenever I wanted. The food was also great, with lots of healthy choices and fresh fruit available even at the food court in the hotel.
Grace's favorite thing changes with whomever is asking the question. She loved eating lunch with Cinderella, dinner at Chef Mickey's and the Nemo the musical presentation in Animal Kingdom. She also loved being there with her cousin, Taylor, despite the fact he pulled her ponytails frequently. By the end of the trip we were all saying "here be go" toddler speak for here we go and "bye, bye Nemo, bye, bye Dori" Taylor's two favorite characters. Grace on the way out said goodbye to everything, even the castle.
We missed out on the new ride Toy Story Mania in Hollywood studios, due to an 80 minute ride wait at 6:30 at night with no fast passes available. I personally missed out on all the roller coasters again, fourth visit in a row. I also sat out the safari ride in Animal Kingdom due to signs and speaker voices saying "Expectant mothers should not ride this ride." In all, we had fun, even Tom the pack mule enjoyed portions of the visit. He is not a big Disney fan, but would do anything to see the joy it brings his daughter. She is ready to go back tomorrow. Better tell Papa to start saving now. Although it is partially his fault for raising a daughter who is a Disney geek and loves Disney as much as her own four year old. However it will be a while before we are all caught up on our rest. Grace started on the way home.
