Disney World - Let The Memories Begin

THIS IS IT.....we are off to Disney World to see Mickey and the gang, and Lily is very nearly bursting at the seams with excitement.

The night before had seen us leave the restaurant WITHOUT dessert ( Lily had eaten wayyyyy too much by that point already ) and the promise of Ice Cream just as soon as we got to Disney had not been forgotton by Lily ( can you imagine Lily forgetting a promise of Ice-Cream ??? ) so the first place we headed for, was the Ice Cream Parlour for the biggest messiest Ice Cream we could find

....and luckily enough, we were just in time for the day's first parade - here is where the magic and the memories begin.....very emotional for both Ali & me to see Lily's face.....

.....and of course trying to get the autographs of the characters !!....

....and as many hugs as possible...!!

....even mummy got in on the act...

...Then of course there were the rides - we all loved the rides..

It was a very very VERY long day....

in fact, we were still there at gone midnight !!

What a long day it was - and I mean seriously long. We were pretty good and arrived at about 10am, and got home at 01.25 the next morning totally bushed. It was a very hot day again, and whilst the park is big, it just seemed to take ages for anything to move with the amount of people there. We managed to pretty much do all we wanted to do - including a ride on SPACE MOUNTAIN ! Ali and I were killing ourselves laughing at the giggles coming from the middle seat - Lily ! To our surprise, she loved it, and after riding Splash Mountain and a couple of other proper roller coasters in the same day, we are of the conclusion she is a thrill seeker when it comes to theme parks just like us.

The memories we all take away from today will live forever - dreams can come true at Disney World ( although at a price !! )

Wow...what a day....truly memorable...
