Day 1 Magic Kingdom

Our first day at Disney held great promise, we had been looking forward to this day for 6 months now, and it was finally here!  We had expectations of a glorious day spent riding rides, meeting Mickey, and just having a great time.  Unfortunately, things didn't happen as we had hoped...

To start off, we had a seriously over tired little 2 year old who woke up with her bunk mate and cousin, Ben before 6:00 that morning.

 The we had the rain, that came down harder than we were expecting.  And then Ellie had her FIRST accident before we even got on our first ride!  Things didn't get started out on the right foot, to say the least.  We rode Dumbo, Winnie the Pooh, and the Tea Cups. Then we went to see Mickey's PhilharMagic, and It's a Small World. 

As we continued to ride each ride, Ellie seemed to become more and more miserable, and  as a result so did we.  After she had a total meltdown in line for It's a Small World, we decided enough was enough.  We were not having fun, and this was supposed to be "the happiest place on earth."  So we decided to eat lunch  with the family and head back to the house where Ellie could nap and we could regroup.  To top it all off, while we were waiting for our food, Ellie had ANOTHER accident.  UGH!  I had only brought one change of clothes, so the poor girl had to eat in wet pants. 

It turns out going home for the day was the best decision for our family.  We missed the parade that night and a lot of other fun rides, but it was just what we needed to do to keep our sanity and to keep Disney World fun, like it is supposed to be!
