For Macy's 5th Birthday we decided we'd take the kids to Disney World. We drove down in amazingly good time thanks to Neil's lead foot and spent the first day at Sea World, the second at Hollywood Studios, the third at Magic Kingdom and then a day of rest at Downtown Disney and the hotel pool before driving back home in even better time. The kids had a blast and we definitely pushed them to the edge. The first night at the hotel it took them a while to fall asleep. They were sharing a room and Tyler was rather excited about that, but somehow Macy fell asleep through his antics. The second night they were asleep in less than 30 minutes. The third night there wasn't a peep from them when we walked out of the room and they didn't even make it out of the Magic Kingdom awake.
Macy was her usual unimpressed self at Sea World. She did love the rope/obstacle climb that was completely unrelated. We had a great time though and it was like we had the park to ourselves because there was no wait for anything and barely any people around. Hollywood Studios was a little more exciting because we saw shows by Ariel, Belle and a stunt show with a guest appearance of Lightening McQueen. The Magic Kingdom was without a doubt her favorite. There were few moment when she didn't have a look of awe on her face and everything we did was immediately asked to be done again. She met tons of princesses who were all so sweet. I was quite surprised with the amount of people in line that they still took lots of time to make each little girl feel special. Macy's favorite ride was the Peter Pan which I think she would have spent the whole day on if we let her. Tyler's favorite was the carousal, which he and Neil rode many many many times, while Macy and I did second turns on Peter Pan, It's a Small World, Dumbo, etc. I was rather impressed with the lack of wait times at Disney as well. Neil did an excellent job of navigating us through the park to get to the key areas and avoid all the shops, until I managed to find us the perfect spot to watch the parade which was conveniently located at the entrance to the Christmas shop. I of course bought Christmas ornaments for all of us while Neil had mini heart attacks and had to leave the store. Macy is so my daughter because I was planning on only buying 1 family ornament when Macy found a Lightening McQueen with a Christmas hat and the year on it. Then she insisted we buy a Peter Pan for Daddy, when I asked why her response was priceless "because he saves the day just like Daddy does" Now I'm itching to put up the Christmas tree and already scheming for a reason to do so.
