Disney World Day #1

Two weeks ago today along with Mam and Poppa we boarded our very first plane and took off to Orlando, Florida to the most magical place on earth!!!

 

We arrived late that afternoon at Orlando International Airport, then hopped on the Magical Express which took us to our Disney World Resort!!!  We checked in, threw down our bags and was off to find the first bus to the Magic Kingdom.  There we boarded the monorail which we rode to the Polynesian Resort to dine at Ohana's.

We had a perfect table view of the Kingdom's Castle!!

After dinner we hopped back on the Monorail to race to the Magic Kingdom to see the Wishes Fireworks!!!  

The perfect ending to our busy day of travel!!!
