Disney Magic

  Cinderella's castle, or as Adrien called it, the Disney Castle.  He was so excited when he saw it.  We were lucky enough to be coming up Main Street just as a show was starting.

Yesterday, we spent the day at Disney with Chris, Jes and Adrien.  In a way, it brought back great memories.  Adrien is four, and the first time I took Chris to Disney World, he was four.  It was wonderful to experience seeing it all again through the eyes of a four-year old.

 

We started off the day in the Animal Kingdom, a park that I had never been to.  The safari ride was a real treat - over bumpy roads through various parts of 'Africa'.  Saw rhinos, gazelles, elephants, giraffes, cheetahs, and hippos, to name a few of the animals.  For me, that was the highlight.

 

In the afternoon, we were in the Magic Kingdom.  Arien was so excited to see the Disney Castle, and we were lucky enough to see a show that included Goofy, Donald Duck, Mickey and Minnie, Peter Pan and Wendy, Snow White, Cinderella, Princess Aurora and their princes, Captain Hook and Mister Smee.  More rides, the Haunted House, Pirates of the Caribbean, and pictures opportunities everywhere.  Adrien loved the rides and is absolutely fearless.  He loved going higher and higher.  If he could have gone on the rides over and over again, he would have.  Every time he got off a ride, all he said was 'again, Nana'. 

 

We finished the day with supper and the fireworks display in Epcot.  A fabulous pyrotechnic display over the lagoon.  Disney certainly knows how to entertain.  A very long day, and very happy one.  And another set of great memories.
