Disney Day 1 Highlights

Here are some highlights from Day One of our Disney trip (which started Thursday the 30th).

The kids all posed for a picture after we rode a ride: Jack, Hannah, Addie, and Gracie.

Epcot is decorated for the holidays!

It's Addie's first birthday on the 31st, so at the Japanese steakhouse where we ate dinner, our server's gave her a mini-chef's hat. She was clearly excited about it! ;)

LOVE my cousin Karen! :)

Mom and I were enjoying each others' company.

Hannah got to meet Belle.

The whole gang (minus one) before Candlelight Processional in Epcot: Missy, Hannah, Gracie, Mom, Jack, Betty, Karen, Addie, and Matt.

Our narrator, Marlee Matlin, waiting to continue reading from the Christmas Story from Scripture. She's a famous actress who signs and her interpreter speaks what she signs. It's a pretty amazing thing to have the Christmas Story read in a FREE event to the public in Walt Disney World!

After the show, we watched IllumiNations, the nighttime fireworks/laser show. It's a great experience!

Hannah got to ride her first "big girl ride" (Test Track, which is a ride based on how cars are manufactured and tested. It goes really fast, banks turns, at 65 miles an hour outside in a convertible. She LOVED it!

Until Sunday, we're in a two-bedroom villa. The highlight is our master bathroom, which has this amazing tub with a mural from The Lion King on the wall. We're staying at Animal Kindgom Villas. We move to a bigger room then, and you'll have more pictures to see at that time!
