On Thursday morning we left our house and headed to Chef Mickey's at Disney's Contemporary Resort for our 10:40 am reservation. We decided to do the breakfast to give Evan a chance to meet the characters. I was not sure how he would react, but though it would be less stressful for him to meet the character this way rather then standing in the long lines at Disney. Well, Evan was not a fan of the characters at all. He screamed and clung on to Dan for dear life. Dan and I were surprised by this reaction since he usually doesn't get scared or show fear.
So I ended up taking a picture with Mini and Dan got his picture with Goofy! Evan was more then happy to watch the characters from a distance.
We stayed at the All Star Sports Hotel. There was so much to see and explore. Evan had a blast running around the football field!
Thanks to heated pools, we even got to go for a swim in November!
We ended our first day of our trip at the Boardwalk. We ate an early dinner at the ESPN Club and played around on some of the arcade games before heading back to the hotel. We wanted to get Evan to bed early so he would be well rested for the Magic Kingdom.
We got to the park right when it opened and got to see the characters arrive on the tram and preform a welcome song. Then we headed over to the Harmony's Barber Shop for Evan's first hair cut. Evan did not like the scissors and started to cry. The lady cutting his hair tried to pull out all the tricks to get Evan to cooperate, she had stickers, bubbles, a light up spinning toy... nothing worked. She ended up getting the clippers out and Evan thought that this was hillarious and went into a fit of giggles!
This made the rest of the hair cut much more enjoyable.
I was sad to see his baby curls go, but love his new big boy hair cut. It is amazing to us how much older he looks now. Evan got a cute certificate and Mickey Mouse Ears. I got some of his sweet baby curls to add to his baby book :)
I loved seeing Evan experience his first big boy ride, Dumbo. He smiled ear to ear the whole ride.
Here are some of my favorite pictures from our trip...
On the way home Dan and I talked about how much we enjoyed experiencing Disney with Evan. Having kids makes going to Disney so magical. We are so lucky to live so close! We are already planning when we want to go back :)
