Disney World!

I have experienced the joy of Disney World many, many times in my life. One of the things I have most looked forward to as a parent is the chance to take my own children to relive those magical memories I have from my own childhood. We were able to take Molly this past week for her first visit to Disney World.

Being pregnant at Disney World is not easy. Especially with a toddler in tow and the blazing Florida heat beating down on you. It was an experience certainly different from what I have experienced in the past. What I learned during this trip is that even though we slowed our normal pace down to what we thought would be manageable, we probably still overdid it. Molly was great about letting us know when she had enough, though! I mean, what trip to Disney with a two-year-old is complete without a temper tantrum here and there?!?!

Nevertheless, it was a great time. Molly really did so well with the characters and enjoyed most of the rides. She was deathly afraid of anything 3D and most of the shows scared her because they were loud and dark. She really loved the boat ride in Epcot's Mexico. So much so that when we went to get off the ride, she cried and cried. Luckily, there was no line and the ride operator let us take another spin!

I would guess though that her absolute favorite part was meeting the princesses. She has not stopped talking about them since we got home. She now carries around her Belle doll (Belle is her favorite!) everywhere she goes. I look forward to taking her again with our new addition in a few more years.
