Happy Disney

My parents are always sad that we can't spend Thanksgiving with extended family, so this year they decided to shake things up with a quick trip to Disney!
There are a few reasons to love living here- one is the weather this time of year, and the other is being a short drive away from the Magic Kingdom when it's decorated for Christmas.
If we can't be with family, we'll settle for Goofy!
 
Ryan was NOT feeling the love for any of the characters...
But he was mesmerized by It's A Small World.
Because we are generally awake at the crack of dawn every day, we were able to get to the park pretty soon after the gates opened, making it easy to hit all the good rides.  We even got on Ariel's new Under the Sea ride in the New Fantasyland. 
We rode the "CHOO CHOO" for Ryan, and then stumbled on Woody and Jessie.
Ryan hated them.
He was ready for a nap soon after that.
Dad asked if I wanted to ride the Teacups, and my quick reply was "I don't want to throw up".  After he stopped laughing, he convinced me to ride with him.
Probably the second most awesome moment of the trip was meeting Merida.
She just kept talking in her Scottish accent, "Change your feht", "I love archery", "Me and me Mum like to pick flowers".  I totally clammed up and was too shy to ask her any of my prepared questions.
Merida was only the second most awesome moment, because my favorite was FACE PAINTING!  I hope my parents decide to make Disney our new Thanksgiving tradition every year!
