Smiling Faces, Happy Faces

Pirates of the Caribbean Ride

  What do Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Pluto and Goofy have in common?  Two things actually.  One they put incredible smiles on our kids faces, along with all the other Disney characters.  Secondly, they are money sucking parasites that never stop bleeding the parents dry of every last penny.  In fact, after we run out of pennies we are going to sell the kids to Disney.  If they won't pay we may leave them there just to teach them what us parents go through to see a smile on their faces. 

  The fact is that we are having a blast and I would say that day 1 was our best day, until day 2 happened and it was even better.  We had breakfast with four princesses, making my daughter one of the happiest little girls around.  We just came home from day 3 and I would have to say it was pretty good as well, considering we had lunch with Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet.  My kids love these characters and had a great time hugging them and participating in a mini parade with them.  My one son looked in the window and spotted his favorite, Pooh, and didn't think we were going to get in, causing a major meltdown that was very sad to see.  His mood changed quickly when the girl at the counter was from Whitby and managed to find space for us.  Gotta love Canadians.

  We are hoping to get back tonight to see the fireworks, although the storms moved in and do not look like they will move on tonight.  No matter, we will have a good night and prepare for another busy, action packed day.  This place is better than I could have imagined and I am thankful that we made the decision to visit. 

  With almost a week to go, and two more days with friends, we expect to continue with our good times.  The kids are tired every day, but once home and in the pool everyone seems to liven up.  The pool has been awesome as all of the kids now put their heads under water, something they never did before. 

  I know this was not your typical blog, but I want to share our good times with family and the best way to do so is through my blogs.  I love to share stories and this one is quite possibly the greatest story to date to share with friends and family.  Thank you Disney for the smiles on our kids faces.  Without you I would have had to spend $20 on a new movie to receive a smile.  I wouldn't change a thing.
