Disney for Chance's Birthday


Playing inside Winnie-The-Pooh's house
For Chance's birthday this year we all went to Disney! It was Chance's first time at Disney World, we decided to hit the Magic Kingdom. At first Chance didn't know what was going on but as soon as he saw Cinderella's Castle he got excited, throughout the whole day he kept calling the castle disney world. We took it nice and easy, keeping busy but not pushing ourselves too hard. We rode the teacups and then It's A Small World. Waiting in line Chance didn't seem convinced that it would be worth it in the end but when he saw the little boat and realized we were getting in there he started getting into the whole experience.

We then Road the Carousel:


And the Winnie-The-Pooh ride before heading over to Tomorrowland. As we went along we let Chance help us pick what to go on next, as soon as he saw the race cars that was the only thing he wanted to do. Chance and Scott rode in a car together, they had tons of fun. Scott pushed the pedal and Chance got to steer, they bounced back and forth laughing the whole time.


Then we rode the People Mover (Rayna's favorite) and looked down upon all the people and other rides below.

We finished the rounds in Tomorrowland then moved over to Adventure Land and Pirates of the Caribbean. Then we moved on to a ride with a little more speed, Chance was tall enough and really wanted to go so we then rode Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. It was lots of fun! Later we moved on to the Haunted Mansion which scared Chance a bit, he was whining and squished in between me and Scott. I put my hand over his eyes and told him he didn't have to look if he didn't want to but by the end he had pulled my hand away and was watching everything. When we walked out of the Haunted House he jumped up and down and said "I made it!"
This visit to Disney was so much fun and a great bonding experience for Scott and Chance. Every ride that was even a little bit scary or fast Chance requested to sit with Scott instead of me so that they could be brave together. It was so cute.
I see more trips to Disney in our future.
