come along to the magic kingdom with us!

Our plan: get up early, get the lunch packed: one lunchbag with the wraps (olive oil rosemary wraps with turkey, or ham, and lettuce...with pepper), the other with grapes, cucumber slices, and cheese. And a bag of pepperoni slices. Then one backpack with baggies of SunChips, peanutbutter filled pretzels, granola bars, M&M's.

Stop for coffee, fill the gas tank, then, yay! We were heading to Disney!!!

Our breakfast was in the van...ready cooked packaged bacon, and for the girls, croissants and corn muffins. We also had some yummy Bolthouse smoothies, and no, I didn't get paid. The girls enjoyed picking out their own flavor. I got a vanilla protein shake, but only drank half of it because it was so sweet.

There was traffic near the theme park...then we got there, and it's twenty three dollars to park. ouchie. We ultimately decided to actually pay $45 to park! Premium parking, near the gate, no taking the tram...it seemed like a good idea, because it was so pricey already, why not?

Once you get there, you wait in line to get your bags searched. Then you wait in line to get on the metro train that takes you to the park. Then you wait in line to get in. Then yay, you are all used to doing what you'll be doing all day!

But: we had a blast. We went on Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain and Space Mountain, and the Mad Tea Cups and the Dumbo ride and Pirates of The Carribean. We cooled off under the mist station, and we took a spin in the gas powered cars. We got ice cream, then we went and got iced coffees and iced teas, they have a Starbucks there!

We enjoyed the 87 degree day, sometimes the little clouds floated by, and a nice breeze helped make it lovely.

Space Mountain was just way too much fun, and having a FastPass for it was great, we just walked right by the line.

Overall, we walked for 6 and a half miles today.

My feet hurt. My knees hurt. But oh it was fun.

The girls really enjoyed it, and they are exhausted. I am the last one up, and I am falling asleep too.

Grandma is too good to us, sending us off to Disney like that. Tomorrow is our last day here, and we are going to celebrate Suzanne's 17th birthday. Grandma ordered a cake from Publix, and the girls are really excited about it. We plan to get in some more pool and sun, and some talking to Grandma...I hope it's a really long relaxing day....because Thursday, we head back to New York....but ha, I get to see Paul again, yay!
