Arrival day!

 Because we'd made such good time on Friday, we were able to get moving a little bit slowly on Saturday and not worry too much about getting to Disney really late.  Last year we didn't check into the hotel until 9ish which was really, really late for my kiddos!
All the kids watching tv while Kelly and I packed up and showered.
Killian talking on the phone.  He kept picking it up and saying, "talk".  When I asked who he was talking to he replied, "Oma."  We ended up having to hide all the phones in our Disney hotel because he kept playing with them.  He really likes to talk on the phone!
On the road.  He wanted a snack of peanut butter crackers and proceeded to stack all six and take a bite out of them.
  

The ride was great and we arrived at about 5pm.  This year we stayed as close to Magic Kingdom as we could.  It was awesome!  We could see the park and walk there in about 15 minutes!
Waiting for the elevator and checking out the park.  We could see Space Mountain, Cinderella's castle, and the new Beast Castle.
In the lobby, there was a special sign in book for kids with a step stool and everything.  Disney is so great.



This year we rented DVC points from a member and had a two room villa.  The space was wonderful, the kitchen was great, the location to the park was perfect.  Money so well spent!  We are totally spoiled now though....not sure there is anywhere "up" to go!

Killian put our noisemaker in the refrigerator as soon as we got in the room.
Keeley had to get all her babies tucked in to rest while we went to dinner.
She also set up all their clothes...
We got situated and then headed over to the main hotel, The Contemporary, for dinner.  The monorail runs right through the hotel and Killian was in love with it.  Every time we saw it he shouted, "Train!!" and pointed.  Totally mesmerized.


At dinner, the kids were tired and it was crazy, as is evidenced by these pictures....
 
 
 
 After our crazy dinner, we headed back up to the room to get ready for bed.  While we were doing that, Uncle Kendall and Angie arrived.  They stopped by for a few hugs and then we watched the Magic Kingdom Firework show from our balcony.  Seriously, so cool.  
   
There were some passed out kiddos after that!  Which was a good thing since we had a busy day planned for the following day!
