Birthdays at Disney

Dear Leah and Logan,

November means that it's time to celebrate Leah's birthday!  Big #6!  I thought that #6 needed something extra special, so I designed the best Daddy-Daughter date I could think of, especially while you still believe in Princesses and Unicorns.

Our date started at 4:30am on Sunday, November 13, 2016, where I woke you up to tell you we were going to the airport.  Our destination was Orlando, Florida- home of Disney World!

We landed in Orlando at 9:30am and went directly to the Animal Kingdom.

From there, the week never slowed down.

Our intinerary was as follows:

Sunday- Animal Kingdom

Monday- Magic Kingdom

Tuesday- Hollywood Studios

Tuesday Night- Mickey's Magic Christmas Party

Wednesday - Magic Kingdom until 2pm.

I had set our Fast Passes based on mostly Princess and Character visits. However, you became such a big fan of roller coasters, you just wanted to keep riding bigger and faster ones.

Highlights from each park included the following...

Magic Kingdom- Ariel's Grotto, Seven Dwarfs Mine Ride (we rode 4 times), Space Mountain, Mickey and Minney, lots of fireworks, and getting your face painted (twice).

Hollywood Studios- Finding Nemo stage show. Disney Jr. stage show.... you weren't a big fan of Tower of Terror, so I quickly got you some ice cream after that one!

Animal Kingdom- A Bug's Life.  African Safari. Expedition Everest.

Logan- don't worry, bud.... Your 5th birthday is in a couple months, and I'm thinking you and I will do something extra big for your #6 (in 2018)!

It was a perfect 4 days, and I enjoyed watching how brave you were on each new ride. In fact, you didn't even want the kids rides- you wanted the REAL rides.  And don't worry- even though they aren't listed above, we did all the traditional Disney Rides like Pirates of the Caribbean and It's a Small World.

I hope you'll never forget our trip, and I can't wait to ride roller coasters with you again!

Here's a video to sum it all!!!   Daddy Daughter Disney Date 2016

Love,
Daddy
