Disney Vacation day 1

What a day getting here. Even though our first day was really just travel, it was a long day. We flew into DIA about noon and didn't leave again until about 8PM! About 20 minutes after we landed there was a tornado warning, so they moved everyone into the tornado shelters, which was crazy, lots of people, little space and not much direction.

Once we got out we found out that our plan got diverted to CO Springs, due to fuel needs and couldn't get back out until later that afternoon. We continued to watch as our flight time got bumped back later and later. Finally we boarded about 7PM, only to find out once we were ready to take off, there were lighting strikes so we had to wait again this time on the plan, of course we needed to be ready to make an emergency exit if the tornado's came back our way. Great I am thinking this is a wonderful start to our vacation. Finally we were cleared for take off and we all cheered once we were in the air! Once we got to CA, we got our car and headed to our hotel, across the street from the Park, it was great! By this time it was almost 11PM, and everyone was tired, so we all crashed pretty hard.

So our first day one, is now upon us. I would have to recommend the The Unofficial guide to Disney Land it was a great help for us to know when, what and how to do the park. The most important thing was to get there right at opening, which we did, a little tired, but I think the excitement took over and we were on our way.


Abby outside the front gates, I think she is giving some attitude here...
One of our first rides was the Winnie the Pooh, which we ended up doing a lot because Tori loved it. Abby was more than willing to do a pose for the camera.

Then onto the Jungle Tour, the girls thought it was very cool. It has been redone since I last remember it, the tour guide, was very funny too.

More Jungle Tour...

Next it was Toon Town and Mickey's house. After walking through Mickey's you finally got 10 seconds with him at the end.

Then we went over to meet Minnie at her house.

After this we went and had lunch and back to the hotel for naps. We all were really tired, so it was perfect. We changed into our princess dresses and headed back to meet some of them at the royal palace. First we meet Jasmine.

Next was Snow White. She was my favorite, she was very much in charter, from her voice to her jesters.

Lastly was Sleeping Beauty.

We went and did some other rides, sorry no pictures. After that we found some dinner and ended the night picking our our Minnie Mouse to take home.

I made them all pick out a hat to try on, ah don't they look cute...yes Chris too!

Overall a great first day, and only a few melt downs! Tomorrow onto Space Mountain, yea!!
