Lets see how long I can keep this up!
The day finally arrived yesterday!
The night before Natalia came down with a fever, and I have something, strep throat? I cant speak :(
Anyway... It was time!!
We arrived at the airport at 7:30am, checked our luggage had some coffee and breakfast and it was time to go!
We were supposed to leave at 11:30, left at noon and touched down at MCO at 2:30 ... 4:30 Orlando time...
The kids found out they were going to Disney the moment the pilot said we were headed to Orlando.... Their faces just lit up and Pau even said "my dream come true, im going to Disney!!"
Now here's the not so nice... We spent 2 hours in line in a non conditioned room at inmigration, there was only 1immigration officer for three full flights of tourists!! And when it was finally our turn, it turns out there is someone out there with a name similar to Toņo's who is on a wanted list, and so they took his passport and our customs form and took us to another room to wait for further inspection... That took 2 more hours!
I have to say though, my very excited, super hungry and sick girls were troopers!! They behaved so well that Im tearing up just writing it down. I was so scared they were just going to send us back to Mexico without a reason.... And they just sat and waited another full hour... When they were finally done interrogating Toņo and let us leave, I told Tatiana she was getting a gift for behaving so well, she said she wanted a Jasmine costume... She can have Jasmine herself if we find her!!! Im packing that princess up!!
Anyway... At that moment we finally made our way to the Magical Express and the magic began!!!
We arrived at the Poly at 9:30 having an ADR for Ohana at 9:35... Thankfully our frienda left the airport well before we did (no further interrogation for anyone in their family) and were able to merge our reservations.
We had a wonderful meal!!!! No pics though cause we just dropped every bag we had on us at bell services and ran to Ohana :) but the girls got leis, danced like Lilo and did the coconut races.... Then wishes started, we were far from windows but just got up and made our way with the
Kids in tow... Someone lente a chair an I just sat, put both my girls in my lap and cried for 20 minutes ... I guess Im just too corny, but we finally did it!!!!!!!! :)
The food was delicious!!!! Wow!!! All those rave reviews about dinner at Ohana were so right!!!! What a meal!!! Perfect way to start Disney vacation!!!
Then it was time for bed... :) we are at the Tokelau building and from our balcony we can see the castle... That just made my morning!!!
Today we are off to 1900 Park Fare for breakfast an MK, if its not too crowde when we get there Natalia will be getting her first haircut!!!
Thanks for reading!!!
