So now I'm going to blog about it and share way too many pictures and details and multiple posts so if that's not your thing, come back in a week or so :)
Spencer came home from work a little early on Friday afternoon and we hit the road right away (a 20 hour drive!). We would have loved to fly, but driving made Disney so much more affordable for us and we are pretty used to super long drives through the night. We prefer the physical exhaustion of driving through the night peacefully with sleeping kids vs the mental exhaustion of stopping at a hotel half way and dragging out the misery for another day in the car with wide awake and whiny kids ;) Jack and David fell asleep for afternoon naps right as we left, then woke up for a few hours, then went to sleep for the night, and then when they woke up in the morning we only had a few hours left to go. Jack and David are good little road trippers! They've had a lot of practice! #thanksalotiowa
My mother-in-law was so sweet and sent us a package the day before we left with activities and treats for our car ride!
Mickey Mouse, here we come!!!
We got to Disney World early in the afternoon. We had every intention of checking in early and taking naps before heading out to the Magic Kingdom but our hotel room wasn't ready until 4:30 and honestly, we were all too excited to take naps anyway! We hit our hotel pool first! My brother and sister-in-law, James and Maddie, bought these cute Paw Patrol hats for Jack and David and they loved them!
I somehow convinced my entire family to join us at Disney World and I'm so glad they came! We had a blast with them and it wouldn't have been the same without them!
After swimming, we showered, ate dinner, then headed to the Magic Kingdom for the evening.
Here they are on the bus with their cute Mickey outfits from my parents:
We got there right as the Move It Shake It Dance Party started and it kind of felt like all of Disney was celebrating that I finally entered the Magic Kingdom ;) A party just for me! haha FYI My career goal is to be a parade dancer at Disney World - I don't need to be a princess - just let me skip and clap my hands and click my heals in a Disney parade and I'll be perfectly content ;) I pretended that I was a cast member in the dance party and hope I didn't embarrass my family too much with my obnoxious dancing ;) I was just reeeeeeally excited to be there!
I had no idea how David would react to all of the characters but HE LOVED THEM!!! He would wave to them until his hand almost fell off and ask to give all of them hugs :)
After the dance party, we headed over to meet Mickey! David was so excited to see him and had a really hard time waiting his turn to see him.
All the Wirthlins with Mickey!
We rode the train, used fast passes to ride Tomorrowland Speedway and Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, and did a few other attractions in Tomorrowland before heading back to our hotel early so that we would be rested for Epcot the next morning!
I purchased the Memory Maker, which gave us the digital downloads to all of the ride photos and all of the pictures that cast members took of us throughout the parks, and it was the best purchase ever! We got over 700 pictures, videos, and "magic shots" and we always got everyone in the pictures.

Such a fun way to kick off to our week at Disney World!
