Disney Magic!!

As children we are in love with make believe. As we grow, we learn the truth about the world and loose our ability to truly love the fantasy world. Disney has been able to capture it all for all of us! We had a wonderful trip to Disney World while in FL. Brenden was psyched for weeks and well, Annie was just along for the ride. It was amazing! Brenden knows that the characters are people in costumes but suspended his believe for days on end and had a great time! He was so excited on the drive there. He asked the infamous question, "Are we there yet?" a million times! I thought I was ready with snacks and activities...WHATEVER! My four year old could hardly contain himself.

As the gates opened, we waited to greet the ferry boat (Bren's choice) and talked about all that we planned to do. We did it ALL! We had no wait times...we were there at the butt-crack of dawn..and got to ride everything we (Brenden was our guide) wanted to. He was terrified of the Peter Pan and Snow White rides but loved Dumbo and running around Tom Sawyer Island. After lunch we headed back to the hotel for some much needed rest time. Yeah right! Anyone who knows my son knows that I didn't "rest"! Everyone went for naps except Brenden and I who headed to the pool.

Disney at night is truly magical. We staked out our place on the parade route after dinner and waited for the fun to begin. Oh yeah, this is after Annie threw up the ONE time I didn't have extra clothes. So, a naked Annie and an impatient Brenden lined the road. As the parade began Annie ran for cover while Brenden marveled at the lighted floats. He continued to so "Oh, Mom look at that" and "I wonder how they made that?". The fireworks afterward were missed by Brenden and I (we were shopping-a boy after my own heart!) but I was told they were very pretty. Breakfast the next morning was at the Polynesian with a few characters. Annie yelled so loudly that many people turned and stared! Brenden was in little boy heaven!

The whole trip was simply beautiful!
