Disney World!

After a long day of flying from Portland to Orlando (through Atlanta) we finally landed around 11pm. We got our luggage and boarded the Magical Express to go to our hotel and see the Lizard King for the first time in three months. It was a 30 minute drive that seemed to last forever. Nearing our hotel, Princess and I were on the edge of our seats. As we pulled up in front of the hotel entrance, I was scanning the area for LK. Then I saw him sitting on a bench (on the edge of his seat) waiting for us to arrive.

As soon as the doors to the bus opened Princess and I descended the steps and LK came running. He picked up Princess, holding her tightly to him, wrapping an arm around me and pulling be into the embrace as we all cried. It doesn't happen often, and it always amazes me when he tears up.

By the time we got to sleep, it was 2am. We had a 9:15 reservation to have breakfast with the Princesses. That so didn't happen. Princess rolled over and continued sleeping when we tried to wake her at 8:30. We let her sleep. Fortunately we were able to reschedule (after calling everyday, hoping for a cancellation).

I didn't take as many photos as the last time, but got lots of Princess with character she met.

I asked Princess what her favorite thing was about Disney World. She told me that was a really hard question. She liked the rides and Kim Possible spy missions at Epcot and of course, seeing Daddy.

It's Finally Here!

We're off! We land in Florida at 11pm and board Disney's Magical Express to our hotel and finally to see the Lizard King. I can hardly believe the time has finally arrived. Yippee!!

Words He Never Thought He'd Hear

I'm doing some knitting. Princess was playing Wii for a while on her own, but then wanted her Daddy to join her. They played Wii Ski for quite a while. Then she wanted to play Disney Princess Wii. And yes, she wanted Daddy to play with her. In this game you get to "make your own princess". My daughter turns to her Daddy (my macho husband, with tattoos up and down his arms) and says, "Daddy, are you ready to pick your dress?" Yes, these are words a dad never expects to hear.
