Disney World

The beginning of January, Dan had interviews in Orlando, Gainesville and St. Augustine, Florida. The rest of us tagged along, so we took the opportunity to visit Disney World. This was our first trip to Disney World. We were there during a cold snap, so it was about forty degrees out. We were cold for most of the day, but it was so empty that we could pretty much walk onto any ride. That was a lot of fun!

Even though it was January, they still had all the Christmas decorations up. That was a lot of fun to see. Alyssa is just getting into holidays, so she was really excited to see the Christmas tree.

People commented on how brave she was with all the characters coming up to say hi. I have to admit, she is pretty fearless. When we went on Pirates of the Caribbean, she covered her eyes a couple of times, but that was all. She really liked seeing Mickey on the float in the parade.

We didn't really plan on watching the fireworks, but we couldn't help but stop and watch them. There really is something magical about taking your kids to Disney World. Alyssa was wide eyed and thrilled all day long. Poor Abigail was just bundled up sleeping in the stroller all day. Hopefully the next time we go she will enjoy it more.

I love how the colors on the castle kept morphing. Dan captured this great moment when the colors were changing.

Here we are in front of the Walt Disney statue. Alyssa keeps asking when we are going back. Maybe next year we will go with the grandparents.
