Micky, and Ariel, and Cinderella, OH MY!


After a delayed plane ride, a 4:00 a.m."bedtime", and a 9:00 a.m. start, Aunt Tanya, Kyra, and I went into the VERY hot Florida sun to brave through the crowds just for the chance to enjoy the "Disney Experience." Despite the minor inconveniences, i.e., the heat, the discount days for Floridians which made it much busier, and the nearly 45 minute waits to see one princess, we had a great time. I could have stayed much longer than 2 days, and even though Kyra had 14 hours days and was tired, she too, was just beginning to catch the Disney fever. We ate at weird times, had snacks and slushes a lot to cool us off, never napped (although I desperately wanted to), and had no real agenda--except to see as much as we could. What could be better than that? We are very grateful to our "Aunt Tanya" for providing much of what was needed for this experience, and hope to do it up in a BIG way with the boys in the next 3-4 years. Just not in the really hot months! We saw every princess and got to meet almost everyone of them. Kyra got a kick out of the rides, but like her mommy, strayed away from the spinning ones(although I was missing not getting to go on Space Mt.). The performances and parades were awesome, and the fireworks were great. Kyra has been in "Disney World" ever since. If you come over to the house, she will get her photo album out and show you. She just recently took it to her class to show it off. She also announced yesterday that she no longer wants to be a doctor or a singer, but instead, wants to live at Disney World. I'm not so sure about that one, but since I found out in talking to an "off duty" staff member that there are about 80 different people that "play" one princess, I guess they have a big hiring load. I'd feel bad if I didn't mention that Kyra and I have discussed how grateful we are that God provided this trip for us. We know that there are many boys and girls who will never get to see and experience the fun we did over those few days.
