We are home from Disney and had a wonderful time! I am going to chronicle our vacation by days as not to overwhelm you or myself!
Our travel day was pretty good. I'll just put it out there... Ella has a new name. She will further be referred to as "The Exorcist." Our sweet baby Ella who is so calm and so peaceful became a different child on this trip. I have to blame most of it on her ears and the fact that I am very rigid with schedules (napping) at home and this was her first trip and variant off her daily schedule. Ella's ears are full of fluid and she has constant pressure as we patiently await her tube surgery. So, having said that, I will say she was not herself on this trip. And really, Disney is not fun for babies.
Waiting for the "plane maintenance" at the airport. I was silently stroking out over what that meant. I was sure we were not going to survive the flight but then again, I am an extremist in that way. It's life or death with me and we were definitely all going down. But we didn't. Thank God.

Sorry Ella - not very flattering of you (and your precious face) but an airplane shot. Ella was fussy on the plane off and on. We did lots of passing back and forth and feeding of junk food.
We made it! On the train ride at the airport. Fun!
Ella desperately needed a nap as she had not napped at all on the plane. Sigh. I quickly found out that Ella was going to have sleep issues on this trip. She would only sleep in a big bed and would not go near the pack 'n play. At least she napped.
My good friend Caitlyn, whom I hadn't seen in years, lives in Orlando. She was so sweet and brought us groceries and her family spent our first night with us. It was a great treat! We took a boat from our resort to Downtown Disney for Lilly's appointment at Bippidi Boppidi Boutique (think Toddlers and Tiaras).They decided to put Lilly in a window to do her makeover so we hung out on a bench in the window area. Caitlyn, her husband Dave, and her son David.
People watching from outside as Lilly was made over.
Waving to her fans. Hee hee.
The completed makeover. Hair, nails, and make-up. Complete with a sash.
Signing her name in the boutique book.
Ta-Da!
After a very yummy dinner we took a carousel ride. 
Our first day was full and long but very fun. Lilly was so happy to be heading to Magic Kingdom on Monday to see her cousins. She slept in her updo. So funny.
Within seconds she was out for the count. 
Day 1 was a great day. Disney was so exciting and we couldn't wait for Day 2 at the Magic Kingdom.
