Disney Bound!

*IF I CAN KEEP TO THIS, I plan on giving a brief rundown of our fantastic and memorable Disney vacation. I won't be posting them all at once, or else I'd die. This was a looooog vacation, but it was also the best one ever.*

Disney Day 1: July 8, 2013

We woke up at 5 AM with the hopes of leaving at 6. I think we did pretty good, because I was betting it would be at least 7 (knowing my family), and it ended up being about 6:30 when we rolled out of the driveway.

The trip was long. It always is going TO vacation with all the anticipation and excitement.

Ean and I switched off driving my car the whole time. We had to take two cars since there were 7 of us and luggage enough for two weeks!

We made sandwiches and got chips for lunch on the way down. Great idea. I believe that saved us some time. Though we had to make about 500 bathroom stops for Lacie. That's how it always is! We still made pretty good time.

It was about 5:30-6 when we made it to Saratoga Springs (we also had to stop at Walgreens to get my medicine...). We stayed in one of the Treehouse Villas (I took video of the place, but no pictures! If someone else took pictures, I'll upload them later). It was so cool. It was in the woods, and the house looked like it was a huge treehouse. I thought it was very pretty. We only had two bathrooms to share, which was a bit difficult, but no one complained!

We took a boat ride to Downtown Disney after we got settled in.

Family waiting FOREVER for a boat to come!

When we finally got to Downtown Disney, we ate at Earl of Sandwich. You can read my review here! (I'm Hermione Rose, by the way).

My caprese sandwich and cole slaw. Mmmm!!!!

We also went around to a few shops. We had to get some annual passes upgraded, and the boys paper passes put on a plastic card. That took A LOT of time, but we were still able to shop around World of Disney and a cigar shop. Everyone else went back earlier, but me, Ean, and Allie had a good time hanging around downtown.

No one stayed up too long since it had been a long day and we were super excited to get up early the next day for an entire day at the park! It ended up being an absolutely fantastic start of the week!
