The girls first plane ride was fantastic! They did such a good job...they were amazing little travelers! They both watched a movie on the computer, and Catie played a little DS and read a little...thank you AirTran for a direct flight that took under 3 hours! Anna even fell asleep at the end of each flight for a few minutes. Other people told me how good she was too..always nice to hear!
I've been a busy little mouse trying to upload our photos...I have day 1 done, our first trip to the Magic Kingdom! We were SO lucky, we had reservations to Cinderella's Royal table, breakfast with the princesses at 9:10 a.m. on Monday, April 26..so we were allowed to enter the "Kingdom" before the general public, and Main Street was still empty...it was the most magical way for the girls to see Disney for their first time! We felt so special walking up the street towards the castle, and they both had their Belle dresses on! We got some amazing Disney PhotoPass shots of the girls and us...

The breakfast at the Castle was delightful...and we had prime window seating overlooking Cinderella's Carousel in FantasyLand! The girls just loved it! We bought them autograph books at the castle, (because mommy forgot to buy them the night before!) luckily, Disney castmembers are prepared for just about everything!
The princesses were so sweet to the girls...and Anna and Catie got birthday cupcakes because they knew Anna was celebrating her 4th birthday at the end of May!
The weather was sunny and perfect 80s the whole week, and the lines were really amazing--hardly ANY waits! We got a godsend from a fellow traveler at the airport who was leaving from his vacation to Disney and he gave us a stack of fastpasses that were good for any fastpass rides at ANY time...so if there ever was a line, we just handed our fastpasses and didn't have to wait and never had to come back at a certain time...it was AWESOME!
Anna LOVED Small World, Peter Pan's Flight, and Pirates of the Carribbean, and she even wanted to go on Haunted Mansion! (not so sure she liked it after she was on it, but she didn't get upset) She loved it all!
Catie loved Peter Pan, Pirates, and she didn't really care for Haunted Mansion, but she too was a trooper on it, and didn't get scared. I tried to make her laugh at silly ghosts.
They both enjoyed Jungle Cruise, too...and we went to the castle to watch a show with Mickey in the afternoon...we then went to crowded ToonTown, but everyone was too tired and hungry, so we went to eat lunch instead at Cosmic Rays in Tomorrowland.
They then enjoyed a early evening pool swim in our awesome Mayan Pyramid pool complete with a water slide that Catie went down non-stop!
Great 1st day at the Kingdom of Disney!
