WDW

It's the most magical, happiest place on Earth!

We said we wouldn't take him until he was older, but we were swayed by the free entrance fee. I didn't have high expectations for the day. I only wanted to do a few things - ride Dumbo and It's a Small World and get Caden a set of Mickey ears. We took two cars just in case of disaster.

We parked and rode the tram to the monorail

We walked into the park just as a parade was finishing up. We did get to see a little of it, however.

Even though it was the first week of November, Disney had already decorated for Christmas!

We stopped at Cinderella's Castle for a few pictures and to watch a show

The first ride we went on was the carousel. Caden is an old pro at carousels, and he loved this one too

Next, was the Dumbo rideHe's waiting in line, not in jail

Then we got Caden some ears and had some lunchAfter a very late lunch, we got in line for It's a Small World. Caden was have none of it. He was over tired and ready for a nap. I tried pushing him around in the stroller, hoping he'd fall asleep. No luck. He was wailing his head off. Grammy and Papa were on the way out with him, when I picked up the screaming baby. Within 30 seconds, he was out cold.

While JZ and Papa rode Space Mountain, Caden, Grammy, and I sat on a bench like this. I was in mommy heaven!After he woke up, we went to Toon Town. To play in their kiddie area and go to Mickey's house. We didn't wait in line to see Mickey because C couldn't have cared less about him. He just wanted to stand at the fence and throw acorns over it.

At least Toon Town had ice cream!

About that time we all decided Caden was DONE with Disney. G & P took him home and let JZ and I stay a few more hours. We rode some "big people" rides, had dinner on the way home, and arrived home to a sleeping baby.

Maybe next time we'll be able to ride It's a Small World - we don't have to pay for him until he's 3!
