We Made It To Disney!

Hi everybody! We made it! We are in Disney World! I can't believe that we are actually here. After only one evening I never want to leave. This morning, we left our hotel in Pensacola (which was so fun by the way) and hit the road. Once we had left, we realized we had a miscalculation concerning our route to Disney. It was going to take longer to travel to the magical world than we had originally thought. But we kept on traveling. Today's backseat presentations included Mulan and Hercules, two of my favorites. I absolutely love the parts we get to ride to and from in the car with my sibs. We have so much fun laughing and joking, making memories. So once we entered the Disney park I was absolutely amazed. I can't believe how all of this awesomeness started from a mouse cartoon. We got checked into our resort, which is absolutely fabulous, and changed quickly into dinner clothes. We took a bus from our resort to Epcot, to try to dine with the Princesses. The second we stepped off the bus I was amazed! Everyone was so nice, and as the sun set the Epcot golf ball looked absolutely amazing. I think Jena Grace (who was wearing her Merida dress) loved how many people called her Princess, Birthday Girl and Merida. We found a map and marched our way to Akershus. They let us in and as soon as we got inside the castle themed restaurant we got to meet Belle, who is my absolute favorite Disney Princess of all time! She thought it was amazing that we were brothers and sisters, and told us all about Chip and his family. Then she asked if we played hide and seek on our castle, and told us how Beast liked to play, but his tail always gave him away. We were sat down right after getting our pictures taken. After our waitress took our order, we got to go to the appetizer bar which was really good! They had some seafood different kinds of breads, meats, cheeses and salads. When I came to sit back at our table, Princess Ariel was signing my autograph book and making conversation with my brothers (she even gave Ki a kiss and called him prince)! We asked where we were from, and if we had to swim the Gulf of Mexico to get here. She was way super sweet. Her visit was followed by Snow White's, who asked why we only had five dwarfs with us instead of seven, Princess Aurora, who told Jena Grace all about her failed birthday cake, and Rachael's favorite, Cinderella. Cinderella complimented our dresses and asked if we were going dancing after dinner, and said that after dinner with her friends, she wanted to dance with her prince. Rachael told her how she had Cinderella school supplies, and she thought that Rachael was too kind. Jena Grace and Isaiah participated in a Princess Parade, where they strolled around the restaurant with the princess, practicing their royal waves. I had such a good time and it was such an amazing experience! Can't wait to get out there tomorrow! This is seriously a dream come true!
