Juliette's a big girl!: We're back!

We made it back safely and had an amazing time obviously! There were so many magical moments during the week that it's going to take a long time to cover it all. Josh took over 200 pictures, I took about 350, and the Disney photographers took over 400 so narrowing them down is a chore :). A happy one though! One thing we realized is that we really do have a great kiddo. So many kids were melting down, begging for things, screaming hysterically, and there was Juliette- constantly telling us she was having a magical day and thanking us for every little thing we did. Now she isn't perfect and there were some definite whine moments when she had to practice some waiting, but we would just tell her we better see some smiles and that would bring her out of it. Usually it was because she was tired or hungry. We wore this kid out!!!

So on to it!
Day 1- Saturday
We woke up and surprised Juliette with Olaf. Well, ok not a total surprise. She had seen it in the very secret hiding spot Josh put it in- on top of Nana's closet (NOT!). Plus she heard him go off when I moved him upstairs. But she was still happy to have him finally. After ripping off the final ring on her countdown chain we were off! Then we drove to Richmond Airport and she had fun picking out snacks and watching the planes. This kid shocked me and loved the plane! She didn't complain once about her ears popping- it could have been because we were pumping her full of skittles to make them pop. We landed safely and headed for the Magical Express to our resort= Pop Century. We got to be in the 80s building much to Josh's delight. Our staircase was a giant Rubix Cube and the outside of the building was a pac man game. After checking in and dumping our stuff I ran for the stroller and we hopped the bus to Downtown Disney. Stress started right away with being late for our dinner reservations and getting off at the wrong bus stop. But we were fine and had a great dinner at Splitsville. Juliette wanted to go swimming, but it was a little chilly. When we got back to our room our luggage was there and we grabbed our grocery order that had been delivered. Juliette even had a welcome message from Mickey Mouse on our phone.
