I have to admit that I have broken all the rules. I think that sometime around deciding to have children and actually having children parents set all these rules for themselves. I will never this... , and I will never that... Sometimes we follow through with them, but most times we don't. I remember saying at some point in January that I would never take a baby to Disney. I also said that I would never to go Disney in the summer. I probably also thought in the back of my mind that I would never take both kids by myself. Well, I broke EVERY SINGLE ONE of those rules. It was too good to pass up. Felix had an impromptu work conference come up in Orlando for the end of June. Between the mileage reimbursement, free lodging, and discounted park tickets, we could NOT pass it up! I set my expectations very low, packed our suitcases, and jumped right in! I did not tell Blair we were going until the morning of our departure. She was very surprised to wake up and find all the necessary gear waiting on her at the breakfast table. It was just another day for Carter. Just happy to be along for the ride ;)
Most of Day 1 was spent in the car, but we arrived in time to head over to Downtown Disney and to walk around and enjoy our resort. We stayed at the Art of Animation Resort and it did not disappoint! It is definitely far out, BUT they have done a lot of fun things with this place to make up for its location. The pools, the rooms, the grounds, and even the gift shop are awesome! We stayed in a Lion King Suite, and we LOVED it. We had so much room, and loved the location of that building. After checking in and getting settled, we drove to Downtown Disney for dinner at Wolfgang Puck's. We also had to get the girls an autograph book because that is a must for every Disney trip!
After picking up our 1st Mickey sweet treat of the week, we headed back to our room for an early bedtime. The 7:00 am reservation at Chef Mickey's was coming soon enough, and I wanted everyone to be well rested!
