Mickey and Minnie and Ice Cream, Oh My!

So we did it. We took our one-and-a-half-year-old to Disney World in the middle of August and lived to tell about it!

As I've mentioned before, there was no amount of sun or sweat (and we had our share of both) that was going to stop me from introducing Autumn to the ones she adores, Mickey and Minnie Mouse. I had been waiting for this moment for months, planning it out in my head. Imagining her reaction, the look on her face, hearing her little squeals of excitement. I was more excited about this trip and this moment then every other trip to Disney World I have ever taken. Thankfully, it was everything I imagined it would be.

She was not scared, she was in awe. Her little eyes huge with excitement. Upon seeing Minnie her little hand shot out in a point and then I heard it, "MINNIE!!", the squeal I had been waiting for. At that moment, in her world, there was nothing better. Seeing her, in all her excitement and wonder, made my heart smile.

We spent the rest of the day riding the rides and watching the shows. Autumn enjoyed it all and took everything in, but I know nothing else that day compared to her visit with Mickey and Minnie Mouse, except maybe the Mickey Mouse shaped ice cream.
