Something amazing happened on Wednesday night. Everything was normal until after dinner, I discovered a huge box on our front porch. The box had my name and Cora's name on it. So, we proceeded to open it. Inside we found a bunch of wrapped boxes, and they were numbered to we would know which to open first. Each box had different things in it; one had clues in it sending us all over the house to find a backpack, another had a map in it and a picture of a hotel. Then, one of the boxes had puzzles in it - I had a bunch of dot to dot puzzles of some of my favorite Disney characters. After I did my puzzles, I helped Cora to solve one of her puzzles which revealed the secret message - WE ARE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!!!! Thursday seemed like the longest day ever, but the first thing I did when I got to school was tell my teachers where I was going on a trip! On Thursday we got all of our stuff packed for our big trip and Friday morning we were on the road!
We didn't drive all the way to Disney the first day and instead took our time stopping off for a visit in Savannah where we saw a HUGE ship in the river. After walking around a bit (and stopping at the infamous bench where Daddy proposed to Mommy) we went to dinner at the shark restaurant! When we were finished we got back in the car and drove a bit further to a hotel where we would stay for the night.
The next morning we had a few hours in the car before we finally made it to Orlando and Disney World! We went through a huge gateway that said Welcome to Disney World and found our hotel. We at lunch at the Contemporary Hotel and it was the best ever. Every few minutes the monorail train would drive through the building, right above where we were eating. And every time a train came, I would point, mesmerized first by the train, then announce which color it was. When we were finished we went to the swimming pool to cool off for a bit. I enjoyed the small slide by the pool, which I went on over and over again. They had games that Cora and I played by the pool including a water balloon toss. I couldn't figure out why sometimes when the balloon hit the ground, it would just disappear into nothing. I had fun at the pool, and just as they told us to get out of the pool because we heard thunder, our hotel room was ready (I called it our house) and we could go upstairs, act crazy and finally get showered off from the pool.
After dinner we got to take a ride on the monorail train! It was so cool! Following that, we had a surprise dinner at Chef Mickeys. I though that Chef Mickey was just a small figurine next to the restaurant, but little did I know I would meet all my favorite characters from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Minnie, Pluto, Donald, Goofy and Mickey!!! It was so exciting to see them! After dinner as we walked back to our room we saw fireworks over the castle at Magic Kingdom! I had such a wonderful first day at Disney I can't even imagine what is in store for us during our trip!!!
