Disney: Day 1

On our first day at Disney we headed to Epcot to see the Flower Power Festival plus that's where we had dinner reservations that night. We had a delicious counter service meal at Mexico and I certainly recommend the churros for a sweet treat! Maggie rode her second-ever ride at Mexico. She wasn't quite sure what to make of it but she handled it quite well. After that we took our time making it around "the World". Sadly, we had to say goodbye to Uncle Mike and Aunt Amy as they had to head back to reality of the working world.

For dinner we headed to the Land Grill, which was a fun character dinner. We were able to see Mickey, Pluto, Chip and Dale. The characters made their way around as you ate so they stopped by our table about four times each. Maggie was a little aprehensive at first but by their second trip around she was loving it! She would squeal, wave and clap as they came around. Another cool thing about the restaurant is it turns! By the time we finished our meal the place had made a complete 360! At Disney they have "stroller parking" which is where you can park your stroller while you ride rides or eat at the restaurants. Well, when we came out of the restaurant Maggie's brand new MacLaren stroller was NOT where we had parked it...can we say heart failure! After a little panic and some direction from some friendly folks we found it... some employees had come and moved all the strollers that were in the area where we parked the MacLaren and moved them into the main stroller parking area. Apparently, they tend to do this at Disney which I understand the point but a little heads-up would be nice!
