This trip was a complete surprise to the kids... they didn't even know we were going out of town this week. Friday was payday for their allowance, and instead of money, I gave them Disney dollars, which they were very excited about, but didn't clue them in, like I thought it might. Then I gave them a backpack with items for a trip, but they still didn't guess that we were going anywhere. Finally we had to tell them we were going to Disney - tomorrow! They didn't believe us. It took a while for the news to sink in.
As we're driving in, I can tell everything is new for Michael - he's the most excited, and it's like it's his first time. Since our last trip was taken when he wasn't even three yet, I can understand how he wouldn't remember anything.
We arrived at the magnificent Polynesian, and I'm home... :-) We get into our room right away; have a nice patio outside, and are right next to one of the pools. Our first meal was dinner at Chef Mickey's, so we got to see Mickey, Goofy, Donald, Pluto and Minnie right away.
And our evening ended with the Holiday lighting of the castle - spectacular lights on the castle - it was so beautiful! What a fantastic first day!
