    The cold didn't bother us at all. Yesterday's drive was worse with the nonstop rain from South Carolina to Florida. Had a couple of toddler meltdowns today, but all in all a great first day for my son's first visit to Magic Kingdom. Found out we did not like dark/scary at all and of course Haunted Mansion was the first ride we did lol. Loved It's a Small World and Jungle Cruise. My wife and I enjoyed dinner at Tusker House. My son didn't like the food all that much, but he was over the moon getting to meet Mickey, Goofy, Donald, and Daisy. Gonna head back to Magic Kingdom on Wednesday to do things we weren't able to get to today.

    It's been a really good trip. It took 2 days of trial and error to figure out the best way to do Disney with our 2.5 year old. We thought that going early and coming back to the hotel after lunch was going to be the best. Turns out we needed a leisurely morning, going to the playground/pool at the resort, then getting a nap before going to the park of the day for the afternoon. Doing this the last 2 days was definitely the way to go. Still a meltdown or 2, but far less than the first 2 days.

    My son does not like the rides. He absolutely LOVED the Starlight Parade and meeting all the different characters. He's so proud of the autograph book and getting all their signatures when meeting them.

    Really cool thing happened at Hollywood Studios today. We were last in line to meet Woody and Jessie (Toy Story) and after meeting them got to walk them back to the Toy Box. It was like a parade just for him!

    Tomorrow is Animal Kingdom, which I think will be a hit. We did the Kilamanjaro Safari before our dinner at Tusker House earlier in the week and he's been looking forward to doing that again.
