Disney - Day 1 {Travel & Magic Kingdom}

Our first day started bright and early - about 3 AM to be exact.  Our flight was at 6:30 so we stayed at a hotel near O'Hare the night before.  Both kids woke up fairly easy.  Paige was hilarious - she woke up saying "Ho ho ho" and thinking Santa was coming - a little delirious I think! 

They were both troopers!

Both kids did really good on the flight! Wally and Luke were a couple of rows in front of us, but Luke did great and only slept a bit. Paige slept most of the way, but woke up during the last half hour. We were heading through some turbulence then and that is of course when she said she had to go to the bathroom and wanted to see Daddy, but we weren't allowed to get up. It was a little bit of a rough ending to the flight!

We did a quick check-in, got our double stroller and headed to Magic Kingdom! We stayed 3 nights at Contemporary Resort which is right on the monorail.  But we could actually even walk to Magic Kingdom (only 10 minutes) so we found that to be even quicker!

We arrived just as a parade was getting ready to start. There was no better way to start our Disney World adventure!

Then it was time to ride some rides! 

The teacups were a huge hit!  We rode them many times over the week!

It was a great first day. We did way more than we had planned. The rain didn't last and the lines were pretty short so we got on a lot of rides!

Here is a little video of parts of our day!
