I had a blueberry muffin, fruit and a poached egg. It was good. Then off to DL! We drove but went the wrong way, I get lost easy. We got to the park and went on main st, the rest of the park was still closed. once we got there I felt better, that disney feeling is so good! I felt that magical feeling looking down main street seeing it all decorated. Then we headed to Toon Town for our early entry. It was pretty empty. We walked right on Roger Rabbit and then my son, Logan, got on goofy's roller coaster and he was the only one on it. We went in Chip and dale's tree house, then headed out of toon town. The park was not to crowded our first day. Logan and I went on Matterhorn, thundar moutain, storybook boats,my boyfriend can't do roller coasters because of neck and back problems, but he goes on some rides. he did POTC and HM with us. I had never seen HM with it all decorated with jack skellington. That was neat! The lines were only 5 min. We went to Pixie Hollow. I wanted to see the Fairies. The line was about 30 min. We saw Tinkerbell and Fawn and had our pictures done. Fawn is my favorite so I was really happy. I was hoping they wouldn't change while we were in line and they didn't! The girl who played Fawn was excellent! Then we went in a few stores but didn't really find anything. I was trying to finish christmas shopping. My daughter 18, moved out in May and she loves Nemo so I was trying to find her Nemo items for her apartment. We didn't find anything. She couldn't miss any college was why she didn't go with us. My brother and cousins got a really late start. My cousin brought her twins, Matt and Maddie age 6. Matt is autistic, so they need more time. We met up with them and went on kid rides with them. Peter Pan, Casey Junoir train, Dumbo, Alice. Then we had lunch at pinochio's. Matt needed a break so they went back to the hotel and we went to DTD. We went to the world of disney store. I was looking for the Tinkerbell doll by Marie Osmand. They didn't have it. Logan found a remote control pluto. He really liked it and it was only $15. Then We went to cousin's hotel, they had moved to the DL hotel for 2 nights. I was not really impressed with their room. It was nice but I didn't think it was worth the money they charge to stay there. Then we were headed to Goofy's Kitchen for dinner. My cousin didn't think Matt would be able to sit through it after the day in the park so we took Maddie. We were celebrating Logan's 10th b-day. (a couple days early). Maddie had never been to anything like this before, so it was really fun watching her light up when the charactors came to the table. We saw Minnie, chip, dale,Jasmine and Belle. Jasmine was really good. She took extra time with the kids. The waitors came and sang Happy birthday to Logan and gave him a cupcake with a candle on it. It was really fun. The food was good, but the vegtables were too greasy for me. For desert the kids picked gummy worms in a cup with sprikled chocolate so it looked like the worms were in mud. After dinner Maddie went back to her hotel with my brother and Logan wanted to go to the Magic shop on Main street. The park was so pretty at night! So we shopped for a while then went back to our hotel. We had a fun day.

We have family members with autism and it's such a fine line with what they can and cannot handle at any moment. I can't imagine the heartbreak with twins. Cheers for your family for having Maddie continue to have a fun time. We were there about the same time and our daughter didn't join us either because of college finals
