We decided to take it a bit slow on our first day- 3 of us had never been to Disney and mom and dad hadn't been for a looooong time. We knew we would be very excited and tempted to go non-stop once we started. Starting here was a great plan. I researched lots of helpful websites to see what days were busiest on certain days and overall this seemed pretty helpful. I think we just went at the perfect time of the year. (beginning of May) Lines were 20 minutes at a maximum!! Unbelievable. We loved walking all the way up to the beginning of the line and saying "Wow, we would have been waiting HERE!" But instead we zoomed right through!
First thing we headed to was the Safari... which was AWESOME! We boarded a "real" jeep and trucked through the muddy waters and fields of Africa. Everyone had a great time. Hannah was excited and McKenna slept through the whole ride.
After going on rides and enjoying the animals we ended the afternoon with a great parade with Mickey, Minnie, Donald Duck, and other characters from the Jungle Book. It was a blast to watch Hannah so excited. She danced with the music and giggled as the characters walked by. This was a really neat parade- the people were dressed in costumes and came right up to the crowd as they walked by.
It was a great start to Disney. Everyone was exhausted after the first day of adventure. The park closed a bit earlier than the other parks, which was probably good for some. Matt and I went back to the hotel and took Hannah and McKenna swimming!!
