The CK Daily – Thanksgiving in Disney!
Happy Wednesday!
I’m sure you are all on the edge of your seats waiting for me to report back on my Disney trip…haha probably not but I’ll update you anyways!
The trip went well! It was a good time with family and Disney was fun. I was surprised at the amount of people. I was really expecting it to be a mad house and for there to be lines for days, but I think the longest we waited in a line was about 50 minutes. Most everything else was fairly quick!
Taking our little one was so fun. There were times where he had his moments (don’t we all) but when we were on rides he loved it. I think his top two rides were the Nemo ride and the Buzz Lightyear ride, both in Magic Kingdom. He loves Nemo and all things fish and sea life. After we rode the ride and it dumped us out in their little area of fish tanks and such, he ran straight to the tank with the manatees. On the Buzz Lightyear ride, I think he got a kick out of using the lever to spin our rocket around and around in circles over and over again.
It was a non-traditional Thanksgiving for us, but it was nice to spend time with family considering all the changes that have taken place this year. I’m looking forward to the additional family time to come in the weekends to come and for a few weeks of less travel!
