48 hour Disney experience

When we got to our hotel, the tickets Sherri had ordered to be delivered to the hotel were lost. What a mess - it ended up being the hotel's fault, but nothing could make up for Sherri's stress and the fact that it took them an hour to finally find the tickets.

We leave the hotel (on the hotel bus) and are headed towards Magic Kingdom - the girls are SO excited. The bus was packed. Sherri and Davis were up front and Reid, Avery and I were in the back of the bus. When we sat down I noticed a little girl that was directly across from us sitting on her mom's lap. I immediately knew she wasn't feeling well. About 10 seconds later I knew that we should not be sitting there, but the bus was so jammed, we couldn't move!

Sure enough, the little girl throws up and thus starts the next round of our crazy Disney experience! Poor Davis is VERY fearful of vomit and of course when Davis gets upset, so does Reid. We got off the bus, got cleaned up (it really wasn't THAT bad, but anything with vomit is BAD!). We tried to get the girls back on the bus and they did, but were crying the entire way. Sherri and I could only look at each other in disbelief. What are the chances of all of this happening before 10AM!?

We get to Magic Kingdom and it is packed. I mean REALLY packed. So, we managed to wait in a few long lines and make the most of it. The girls were really being troopers about the lines and it had seemed that our morning was almost forgotten.

The day went quickly and we made it back to the hotel at 6PM. Sherri and I enjoyed the snacks and drinks in the lounge with the kids and decided we would go back to the park (no bus this time, nor for the rest of the trip) so we could try to catch a few more rides with shorter lines.

It was great when we got to the park - not many people at all. We had a great time! So much fun that it was 2AM before we got out of the park. Do you know how heavy 4 and 5 year olds are at 2AM?!?! All in all, it was a great ending to a day that started out not so great.

3AM Sleeping Beauty


Davis, Sherri and Reid...it was tough to get a decent shot with all the people. Unfortunately I cut the top of the castle off!
