Disney Day 1

On September 21, 2008 we made the 10 hour drive from Cary, North Carolina down to Orlando, Florida to spend a week of vacation at Disney World. We met the Gaspar de Albas and Cranes who had already made the trek a couple of days earlier.  We stayed at a time share called the Orange Lake Resort through Brother Gaspar de Alba. 
We spent our first day of fun, Monday, at Hollywood Studios.   

Our first stop was the Rock 'n Roller Coaster.  Among the first group to go on it was Brayden with me (Kristel).  Brayden had not ridden a big roller coaster like that before.  As we were riding I thought Brayden had passed out. His eyes closed and his head went limp.  I kept calling his name with no response.  After it was over he said, "That was FUN!  Let's do it again!".  So he went again with Matt, though never opened his eyes.  Brayden was not as adventurous at The Tower of Terror ride where he opted out.  Kylee enjoyed all the rides and rode them multiple of times.   


The day turned out to be rainy and the ponchos came in handy.  The kids enjoyed dancing and entertaining themselves in the rain.  
Julia got lost 2 times during the week.  The first time she got lost was in Hollywood Studios.  We were hanging outside of a theatre after watching a show and trying to figure out where to go next.  As we were leaving we noticed that Julia was not among our crowd.  We frantically searched all around.  I told an employee outside of the theater and described what she was wearing.  She went in the theater to go look for her.  Then I took off trying to find her.  My heart sank.  There were so many places she could disappear to.  After a frightful five minutes the lady came out of the theater with Julia.  She had wandered back in.  When we went back and saw the footage of video on that day we can actually see the point where she walked off.  Scary.
