Francis Family Disney Trip 2010

Day 1: Thursday, June 17, 2010

Lennon and Mia waiting excitedly at the airport while Daddy buys our customary airport breakfast of breakfast sandwiches from Dunkin' Donuts. We left the house at 4 AM. The kids were fantastic all day!

The first thing we did after a short dip in the hotel pool was head to Epcot. It started pouring rain almost the second we stepped foot in the park, but that didn't stop us. We went straight to Spaceship Earth (it was Mia's favorite from our '06 trip with Papa and Nana.) Then we did Journey into Imagination with Figment for the first of what would be many times during the week. Pictured above is Lennon on Spaceship Earth for the first time. He loved it.

Our first dinner was a Grand Gathering: Safari Celebration Dinner. After a bit of confusion we started out in an outdoor theatre in Asia at Animal Kingdom then headed over to a Safari ride with no wait. Mia wanted to sit by Bethany (almost all week!) Aunt Bethany was a great tour guide pointing out all the animals to Mia.
Hippos: Up close and personal


Very happy kiddos after meeting Rafiki and Timone from The Lion King, dancing to some African tunes and eating a yummy African themed dinner.

Most of the fam at our table during our first dinner together.
