Arrived in Orlando about 1:30 and checked into our hotel. We did not have tickets to the park for that day, so we started off by driving around and checking out Downtown Disney. We got back in the car for naps and the girls almost immediately fell asleep and took about an hour long cat naps!
Went back to the hotel and met up with Mimi and Papa! Changed the girls into their Halloween party Minnie costumes and headed back to Downtown Disney for dinner! We decided to eat at Rainforest Cafe and it was such a fun restaurant to kick off our trip! It looked like we were outside and there were animals and fish everywhere! At first the girls were a little scared of the elephants and monkeys (Rhodes sat down across from the monkeys and got a big pouty face - very unlike Rhodes unless she is REALLY scared - and said "monsters!" - it didn't take long until she was laughing every time they started talking and a storm started, though!)
We jetted out of there before we got the check (thanks Mimi and Papa!) and headed to the Magic Kingdom for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween party. We had all intentions of getting there early but didn't get there until right around 7! The girls were such troopers since that is usually around their bedtime - but it is Disney World and schedules were definitely off this week!On our first (and only) tram ride to the Magic Kingdom!
Our first (and only) ferry ride to the Kingdom!
We made it!!
The Halloween party was such a neat experience - spooky music played, the Kingdom and entrance were lit up with different spooky lights, pumpkins were everywhere, a special Halloween Boo to you parade, trick or treating throughout the park, etc etc - plus, short lines! We had a ball!
Dancing in line for our first ride - Dumbo! (Probably their favorite ride!) Ali loved pushing it all the way up so we could see the whole kingdom, all lit up!
Rhodes was checking it all out! (and a little sleepy!)
So excited/nervous!
Here we go!
And on to another favorite...the Carousel! We must have ridden both of these at least 5 times each!
Cinderella's carriage all lit up for the party...
Finally bit the dust....
More to come from the rest of our trip!
