Dumbo!

DUMBO!!!

For our first full day at the Magic Kingdom we were using a touring plan called Dumbo-or-die, that was supposed to make sure that the preschool bunch got to do everything they would enjoy. The plan wasn't totally needed since the crowds weren't bad, but it did offer a nice outline and we made adjustments as we saw fit.

The first thing on the list to do is to run to Dumbo and get in line, and then to have a second party get in line roughly 24 people behind the first because your little angel will go into complete meltdown when he or she has to get off of Dumbo (haha, right? not my kid). We did it, and sure enough Walker DID NOT want to get off of Dumbo. Since we had listened to the advice we handed him over to Grammy and a second ride satisfied him completely.

He loved it. He loved to talk about it and he can tell you that he rode on a green elephant with Grammy and a blue elephant with Daddy. I only have pictures of me and Eli that Jason took of us on the first ride, but I will get some of Walker from Jason's dad, so you can see the joy in his face as well.

Who is the fellow behind you who looks like he is bored at DisneyWorld? Seriously?! He should be kicked out of the park and his ticket should be given to some mother who would like to take her kids but doesn't have enough guts . . . say, me maybe?

What a great idea! You'll have to give us the scoop as we'd like to plan a trip to Disney in a couple years (not brave enough right now)
