Here is my cast of characters
Me 36 Stay at home mom. I started planning this trip two years ago when we got back from our 2006 Mardi Gras Disney World trip.
DH He loves Disney World too. This was his second trip. He leaves all the planning up to me.
DD 15. She loves The Little Mermaid. She is the typical teenager. She causes me to think "Maybe I am stupid" I pray I can just get through this teenage stage with her. She loves to point out how uncool I am every chance she gets.
DS 10. He is my little man. He still wants as much of my attention as he can possibly get. I know I better soak this up because it might be gone with the wind soon.
DD 7months old. Our little baby. In case you are wondering about why there is such a large gap between her and the other two children, I will explain. It took us nine years to get pregnant for her. We wanted a big family and it just didn't happen. We are so blessed to have her. Our little surprise.
This is a picture of us taken in Atlanta in December.
Now that the introductions are out of the way I can start my report.
DAY ONE
We made it to the airport about one hour before our flight was to take off. I figured that was plenty of time since our airport is very small. I was wrong because after we checked in all 8 of our bags (yes, I overpacked big time) we got in line for security. I have never seen a line that long at our airport before. The line was stretched out to Hong Kong. When we were almost to the end of the line they were anouncing the final boarding call for our flight . I was freaking out. My husband kept telling me to calm down they were not going to leave us but I started crying like a big baby. I started telling him that it was his fault because he had to stop for a bottle of water on the way to the airport. When I got to security the lady didn't even look in the diaper bag to see if I had any bombs . I said "This is the diaper bag" and she said, "Just go before you miss the plane".
Once we were settled on the plane the baby fell asleep. Thank God. She was so good on the plane. I was scared about what she would do, but she did fine. I am sad that we don't have any pictures from the airport because we were so rushed we didn't have time to stop and pose for pictures.
We landed in Atlanta and then we hurried to get to the gate for our flight to Orlando. We had like 30 minutes between flights so we didn't mess around. When we got to the gate they had already made the final boarding call I freaked out again. I can't believe we almost missed this flight too. Again we didn't have time to take pictures at this airport either. Now we were finally on our way to Orlando.
We started this trip out with me feeling rushed. It continued for some reason. When we landed in Orlando I felt like we needed to hurry to make it to magical express. I guess I thought we were going to miss it if we didn't hurry. I finallly calmed down once we say Roy at the red carpet. He told us to make a wish as we crossed the red carpet to get to the Magical Express. Thats when my eyes teared up and I felt like the magic was starting and we were officially at Disney World. I felt the stress just lift off of me.
Coming up next................
Did my wish come true?
