Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party!

I have been wanting to take the kids to Disney for a few months now! Dylan had never been and he's been the most into Mickey out of all of my children. I really wanted to do "Mickey's not-so-scary halloween party", but with Chad's hunting trips, and our annual halloween party, it just didn't work out. So then I was thinking December would be nice because the weather should be cool. So, kind of last minute, I pulled together a quick 48-hour trip! We took off Wednesday around 2:30 and headed North. We met Jilly for dinner and coffee before heading to the hotel. We woke up Thursday morning and headed to SeaWorld. We got to see "Blue Horizons" (the dolphin show), "Clyde and Seamore take Pirate Island" ( The Sea Lion and Sea otter show), and "One Ocean" ( The Killer whale show) before heading back to the hotel for naps! Chad was feeling pretty terrible the whole trip. When he got up from his nap he felt like he needed to go to an Urgent Care because he felt SO bad. Jilly and I took off to have dinner with the kids before going to "Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party". Come to find out, Chad had Tonsillitis!! So, he didn't get to meet us at Disney World :( Nonetheless, we had an AWESOME time! I mean, how could we not? It's Disney World!!! We started off with a show in front of the Castle that starred Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Daisy, Pluto, and Chip & Dale. Then we headed off to the new Ariel ride. Dylan wasn't too thrilled about riding rides and cried to go back to the hotel, but I stayed positive and pushed through ;) He ended up doing great! We went on "It's a small world" and "Peter Pan's flight". They had stations set up where they passed out complimentary hot chocolate, apple juice, apple slices, chocolate chip cookies, and snickerdoodles! We were able to snag a front row spot to watch the parade (it was pretty packed)! Then Rylee, Landyn, and I went on "Pirate's of the Caribbean", and "The Haunted Mansion"! I think I was more excited about the trip than the kids were. It was such an awesome time with my wonderful children. I can't wait to go again!!
