Another Trip to Disney

This past weekend, Dean and I packed up for a trip to Orlando. An old high school friend of Dean's was taking a trip with his family, and we decided to meet up with him for some Disney fun. We loaded up the car for the four-hour drive at about 10:00 PM on Thursday night. You can say you heard it here first, I am not driving to Disney at night again. Noah slept the entire drive, but as we pulled into the driveway in Orlando just after 2:00AM, he was wide awake. He did not go back to sleep until 4:00AM. Ouch! And, he was up at 7:30AM to start the day. Double ouch!

We spent all day Friday at the Magic Kingdom. Noah only had about a 45-minute nap the entire day. He was tired, but he definitely hung in there. We played at the Pooh's Playful Spot, rode the The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh ride, and watched Mickey's PhilharMagic Show. I think Noah liked the PhilharMagic show even better this time. He even kept on his 3D glasses for 90% of the show. Next, Noah and I did a little strolling around Tomorrowland while Daddy rode Space Mountain. Then, we headed to Main Street for hot dogs. We had tickets for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, which was really nothing more than a smaller crowd at the park with free hot chocolate and cookies. With a smaller crowd, all the lines were less than a 5 minute wait, so we rode It's a Small World and Peter Pan's Flight. Daddy also took a ride on the Pirates of the Caribbean. By the time, the "party" was in full swing, Noah was fast asleep.

Noah had a front row seat to the Christmas parade, but he slept through the entire thing. It was pretty and fun and loud.

With Noah still asleep in his stroller, we found a good spot for the fireworks show. Apparently, the fireworks were a little too loud. Noah woke up and watched the whole show with his head on Daddy's shoulder. What an awesome fireworks display. Do you know they do that every night?! Wow!
