We just got back from Orlando and I'd be lying if I said the kids weren't suffering from a mild case of No-disney-itis. Man, did we have a fun vacation! Before we hit D world, we took the kids to a carnival-type place where they went on their first fariswheel. Madelyn hated it while Ryen couldn't ride long enough. We let Ry go on one of those huge swinging pirate ship things where I felt certain I was going to die (or at least lose my lunch). Ryen, on the other hand, squeeled with delight the entire time. She got off the ride chanting, "Again again again!" Also at this place was the world's tallest dropping swing thing. I'm not sure what it's exactly called, but you strap into this vest attached to cables, get raised 300 FEET above the ground, and then just get dropped. Can you imagine??? Sonny not only imagined it, he experienced it first-hand! I thought for sure I was going to leave that place a widow, but as luck would have it, he lived to tell the tale.
We arrived at Disney world first thing in the morning and stayed until closing. We didn't plan on that, but the kids were behaving so well and having so much fun that we just settled in for the long haul. Ryen was beyond elated each time we bumped into one of the characters there. While waiting in line for the Pirates of the Carribean ride, she encountered Captain Jack Sparrow and Sonny and I got to see our little girlie blush for the first time. Ahoy! Talk about shivering timbers! Besides her pirate crush, the most exciting person Ryen met was, of course, Mickey Mouse. She bolted for him (completely cutting in front of a huge line of children) and threw her arms around him. Sonny managed to pry her away long enough to wait in the line and then she was able to introduce herself properly. She went on every ride besides Space Mountain, but her favorite was the Dumbo ride. (Probably because it was the only one we tried to discourage, since the line was always so long!) Madelyn really loved the rides, but her favorite things were the shows. She got SO into them and would scream and cry when they were over. She could have watched those Country Bears perform a thousand times! Maddie also loved the Jungle Cruise. Both of the girls were delighted by the parades and were certainly enthralled by the whole experience. We're really glad we took them!
