~ Gracieland and Abbyville ~ A Beautiful Intersection: My First Trip to Disney World

Okay, If I didn't tell you in the title, I wonder if you would be able to ever guess where I went this last weekend. If you can't tell from my pictures, I had a blast. I never in my life have experienced such an attack on all of my senses at one time. It was sooooo coool.

On Friday, mommy and daddy drove me to the Wilderness Lodge where we stayed in a Villa that was just awesome!!! Everything about it was neat, from the way it looked to the way we were treated. There was so much to do at the lodge that we could have spent the whole time there and never missed Disney. Ahh, but that was not the case. On Saturday, after a very rowdy breakfast (where I got to watch these kids do a pretend horse race... you had to be there) we got on a boat bound for the Magic Kingdom. This was my first time on a boat and I did not get sea sick, way cool!!! Once we got to the park, we had to deal with exchanging some tickets, which tool a little while to do. But once that was done, we got through the gates and that is where my senses went just wacky!!! First thing I saw was Pinocchio. He stopped to take a picture with me. Then we walked around and went on 'It's A Small World" (You can see me STANDING in line below) and the carousel. After some walking and shopping, we decided it was time for a nap. Now here is the cool part about staying in a resort... we just took a quick ride on the boat again and were back at our room. We slept for a couple hours and that gave me the energy for round two. We made it back in time to do another couple rides including Winnie the Pooh before the Parade started. Now you have to understand, the parade is the only thing my daddy wanted me to see. He worked so hard to make sure we were done eating and in a good spot to see it when what happens? Yup, the sky fell and it rained all over us. Mommy was running really fast trying to get me out of the rain. Didn't matter, we were soaked. Oh well. When the rain stopped, it was just in time for the fireworks. They were really neat and so late at night. I can not believe how late I got to stay up. I will show you some pictures in another post of me getting tired.

Anyway, we left on Sunday via Downtown Disney. After lunch at the Rainforest Cafe, we had ice cream and did some more shopping. By this time, I was just plain tuckered and passed out. Before making it home, it was time to eat dinner at the Columbia where I decided that being still and gentle and easy to manage was over. I don't understand why mommy and daddy were so frustrated, I had a great time.

So, that was a small peep into my weekend. Like I said, so much happened that I am still trying to process it. All I know is that I had a great time and I can not wait until I can go again.

With that, I should say goodnight. I have been out of school for four days so I should get some rest.

Goodnight,

Gracie
