Our Magical Vacation

On January 5th, in the middle of a nasty fog of a cold, we packed our bags and headed for Indy to catch an early morning flight on the 6th to sunny Orlando, Florida. For the record, I felt miserable and felt like i walked in circles the whole time i was trying to pack but managed to pack most of the essentials. I was more nervous about our flight than the kids. Brody finally told, 'mom, it's fine!' And you know what, it really was fine. As we were taxing down the runway, he kept wanting to know when we were blasting off into outer space? Once we were in 'outer space', he asked me if we were in heaven yet? I know the people behind us got a good chuckle out his continuous questions and statements.

We landed and had our luggage gathered by noon or so and off we went to find the Magical Express. The first of many lines that the fine folks at Disney would have us waiting in that week. After a short bus ride, we arrived at our resort. Brody thought the bus ride alone was magical after watching the video on the bus about everything we would get to see and do! After getting off the bus, we made a quick bathroom break while waiting on our shuttle to our rooms. I took Brody to the bathroom and as he was finishing, the toliet flushed on it's own and he turned to me and said, look mom, it's MAGICAL!! And I do think that set the tone for the rest of our trip! It really was magical!
