Disney Day 1

 

I keep procrastinating putting our Disney trip pics on here (such a pain now that I have to resize all my pics or Blogger won't let me upload them), but I know I'll be mad if I don't do it and they aren't in our blog book for 2013, so I thought maybe if started posting by day, it'd be more achievable for me:).

 

We had a great trip!  We went right after New Years, so we were able to see the Christmas decorations the first few days we were there.  I love Disney at Christmas time!!

 

We thought we had a lot of stuff to take when we went with 2 kids 2 years ago, another kid definitely adds more stuff!  But I feel like we really thought it through ahead of time and didn't overpack and packed "smart" as far as what we put in carry-ons and such, so it was manageable for Joe and I to handle our stuff by ourselves.  We are going again in October and I really feel like we'll try to pack about the same.  We also will most likely take the same strollers along that we took this past time--one side by side double and one single that can be thrown over your shoulder.  With small kids in Disney, strollers are a must!

 The kids did great on the plane ride.  Greta cried for a few minutes until she fell asleep, but other than that was good.  Unfortunately "Presley" (the doll in her arms) got left on the plane:(.  With all our stuff, I guess we're lucky that was all we left behind:).  She must have slid under the seat or something and that's how we missed seeing her when we got off.  Thankfully, we were able to buy Presley the second at Target when we got home:).  And thankfully we had Piper along in the suitcase.  When I got Presley #2, I also picked up Pippa just in case any more get lost.  So she know has triplets:). 

 The big kids sat nice on the ride...

 All of our stuff (we had two boosters in the bag on the right and Harper was using the stroller that we took for Greta b/c they checked their double)...

 Always love seeing Mickey greeting us in our room:) (or actually this is probably Minnie)...

We stayed at Saratoga Springs for the first time this time so we shared a suite with Em and Mike (their room was one side and ours on the other, with the kitchen in the middle and we each had our own bath).  It was handy having a kitchen and washer/dryer in our room. 

Waiting for the bus to take to Downtown Disney...(the kids get excited about the Disney busses:D)

This was I think our coldest day, then it got nice and warm which was nice since you never know what the weather will be like in January!
