Introducing two new princesses to WDW. Offsite June19.Day 1.Villa,Disney Springs & Cracker Barrel
Kids woke us up just before 7. I was shattered. I had woken at 3.30 only to manage to get back to sleep sometime after 5 when Scarlett woke me up at 5.30. Apparently her dad had turned into a zombie.
We had cereal and donuts for breakfast. Not very good for you but were on holiday. They were very nice donuts too. After that we all went in the pool for an hour. Kids and hubby are all obsessed with this pool. All this while FaceTiming nanan. We did try and talk to the dog but Im sure hes as deaf as a post nowadays or just ignoring me. More pictures of the villa since I only took a few yesterday Kids are so cute so Im putting photos of them in here too. Hopefully it dont come back to bite me when they are older. Quick trip to the contempo to pay a fee for damages waive etc. Now off to Disney springs. We needed to collect our magic bands what we got included with the Disney tickets. We decided to go to the Coca Cola roof bar first. Wasnt as great as I was expecting and full of school camp kids. We got a cherry cola float and a blue raspberry Fanta. Both were good but wouldnt buy them again. Thought I needed to go to guest relations but turns out I needed a teeny weeny booth in the world of Disney that I couldnt find even after waiting in two queues at the cashiers to find it. Magic bands in hand, I was advised to link these myself though the app, and I went to find hubby and kids. As soon as I got there Georgia said we not done anything. That always means they had. They had been into Ghirardelli for the free squares without me! I wanted to go to port Orleans french quarter for some beignets. I read a lot of vampire based books and lot of them are based in New Orleans so always wanted to try some. We took the boat there, got a water and beignets between us. They were good but not something I would buy again especially as we had gone out of our way to get them. As we were eating there was a huge thunderstorm. This meant the boats were cancelled but we didnt know that until we had waited quite a long time so we trudged back to the buses to take us to our car. Before we left we called at guest relations as the magic bands wouldnt link. Then to candy cauldron for a crispy treat. I dont have any photos. I think I have given up on trying to photo food. The only thing I seem to photo is the girls so unfortunately thats as good as Ill be able to do. Good job Im not doing a food report. On our way back we called to Walmart. The towels here are tiny and I mean tiny. A bath towel at home is the same size as a bath sheet here. So we need these for water parks. Got some more pop etc. Love coming home and jumping in the pool. By jumping I mean I was sat there with my legs in whist kids and hubby played... until Scarlett pushed me in. Luckily I could see her coming and she cant really push me but she thought she really had and was howling with laughter. I was wet and freezing when really I just wanted to get ready for dinner but I couldnt resist giving in. So after our swim shower and ready for cracker barrell. I had chicken tender meal, hubby country shrimp, Scarlett kids burger and Georgia kids tenders. These meals were massive. Had I know they would have shared. You get with the adult meal the chicken tenders with either corn bread or biscuit then 3 sides. Yes THREE! I think its mad. I can eat a lot but this was a bit ridiculous. Anyway rant over. There was a lot of food wasted. I liked both mine and hubbys dinner we kinda shared. But I was the only one so we wont be going back. Also no discounts 😔 and I do love a good discount. Georgia was shattered so put her to bed while we three sat around the pool munching crisps. Im thinking it must be the heat but Im really not that bothered for food at all since we landed. But all I wanna do is drink. Tomorrow is our first park day and obviously that means magic kingdom. I use touring plans to try and make sure I dont have too many lines. This is the plan. Wonder how many i will get done. Dont wanna stand in lines at all with my two. 1. Let the magic begin 2. Winnie Pooh 3. Meet Ariel 4. Little mermaid ride 5. Tales with belle FASTPASS 6. Meet rapunzel and Tiana 7. Meet Cinderella and elena FASTPASS 8. Its a small world 9. Splash mountain FASTPASS 10. Big Thunder mountain FASTPASS 11. Mickeys friendship fayre 12. Philharmagic 13. Country bear jamboree 14. Parade I cheated. The fastpasses for splash and big Thunder were split but we swapped bands and hubby and Scarlett did both. Spends for today. Coca Cola bar $7.46 Sassagoula $8.29 Krispy treat $5.49 Walmart $54.65 Cracker barrell $46 Total $121.89 Edited at 11:51 PM. |

That sounded like another nice day to and given everyone a chance to get settled before going to a park seems like a really good idea for the kids!

That was a good first day. It's nice to visit the resorts from Disney Springs - I didn't know you could get the bus back, I thought it was just the boat as well, so thanks for that info.
Your girls are so cute, no wonder you like taking pictures of them. It sounds as if a villa was the best thing for you as everyone is loving the pool so much.

What a drama with the Magic Bands, so much hassle for something that was a nice perk!
