In honor of the New Year I decided to start a new blog. I'm hoping that this will help with all of the dysfunctional characteristics that my old blog has developed. However, if it doesn't, I will at least know that those are MY characteristics and not my blogs - and knowing, as they say, is half the battle.

I would like to start this blog off with the best of the best! What, you may ask, could that be? Why, Disney World of course! My family recently went for the very first time and it was (get ready for the cliche'), magical. Our first day there we arrived at our resort, The Art of Animation, and then went to explore the Magic Kingdom. First of all, let me say that our hotel was fantastic. They just finished building it, and we stayed in the Lion King Family Suite. Two full baths, a bedroom (and Carl and I
both fit on the bed!), and the couch in the living area folded into a bed, and the table in the dining area pulled down like a Murphy bed. There was more than enough room for all of us, and the food court was great. PLUS, the swimming pool played music
under the water. So cool.
Nothing can describe when we walked into the park and saw Main Street and Cinderella's castle for the very first time. Yes - I cried. I am what you might call a Disney nerd. I have dreamed my entire life of going to Disney World or Disneyland, and at 35 years old my dream came true. It was everything that I imagined that it would be. Since it was the Saturday after Thanksgiving it was insanely busy. I didn't have a plan for our time there on Saturday, so we walked around and rode the rides that had a 20 minute or less wait. Our very first ride was The Haunted Mansion, and Carlye was
furious! As a matter of fact, she told us that we were
ruining her trip to Disney World forever. I don't think she could have been more angry. She kept her eyes closed the entire time, and can't even tell you what it was about, but she will tell you that she didn't like it
at all. It was so funny, because Carl and the boys loved it! Then we did the Hall of Presidents, Pirates of the Caribbean, and the Jungle Cruise before heading back for the night. Amazingly, we did not do one princessy or girly thing that first night - yes, we were in the dog house with our little girl. But don't worry, we more than made up for it in the days to come.

They must change Cinderellas color scheme every year. Last year it was kind of a rainbow - but still wintry. Really cool. We did the Tiki Room instead of the Haunted Castle but you described our Night in the Magic Kingdom. We also saw the parade.
