Florida Vacation: December 22

We woke up early Tuesday morning and traveled to Orlando to spend the day at the Magic Kingdom. We were able to go to Disney because of two separate gifts, what a blessing it was. Andrew was last there during high school; Kate was six years old the last time she saw Mickey Mouse—so it was fun to relive childhood memories.
At lunchtime, we went to Downtown Disney where we met Kate’s cousin Jennifer and Rob. Jen lives in Tampa, FL and drove over to meet up with us. We had a lot of fun hanging out with them and eating lunch. It had been too long since we had seen them and so it was great to reconnect.
When we returned to the Magic Kingdom, we made sure to hit all the classics-Teacups, Dumbo, Country Bear Jamboree, and ended the night with It’s a Small World. We waited in line to picture with Goofy and the Disney Princesses. Since it was Christmastime, the park was decorated for the holiday. They had a special SpectroMagic Parade at night and Christmas Fireworks over Cinderella’s Castle. It was a very long day, but so much fun. One that Baby Dodd will be sure to enjoy in 3 or 4 years.
