Last weekend I surprised Noah early Saturday morning and just the two of us drove up to Disneyworld for the day. When I first told him why he was up early and where we were going, he said, "Why? Why can't Davis come with us?" Not the reaction most kids would give, ha, but then he got a big smile and was really excited to go! He did keep asking all day while we were there though why Davis didn't get to come. He loves his little bro! But I wanted this to be just a special day for Noah and mommy. It was both of our first time to Disneyworld and I think it's something he'll always remember.
It was so hot, but we still had a good time!
The first ride we did was space mountain... boy was that a mistake. I forgot how scary that one would be, and you don't get to sit next to someone! So poor Noah was sitting in a single seat in front of me, and screamed the entire time. He was terrified to get on pretty much any ride after that for the rest of the day.
Small world is more his type! That, and the shows and parades. haha!!
When we went on Pirates of the Carribbean, as it was getting closer for our turn to get onto the boat, Noah panicked and started crying and said, "I don't want to get on! I need to find an emergency exit!!" I was dying. So hilarious and dramatic. Once we got going though, he realized it wasn't like space mountain at all and he survived.
He loved just watching the characters and giving them high fives during a parade.
Noah really kept wanting to go back to the castle to get a picture in front of it.
"Mom, take a picture of me with these hats on!" He thought these hats were pretty silly.
And we shared a massive turkey leg. I could only handle a couple bites. That thing was so fatty! It was pretty funny watching Noah try to eat it though.
I told Noah before we left, if he would do splash mountain with me, I would let him pick a toy before we went home. He was okay until we started approaching the hill before the big drop, and he clenched to me with all his might, screaming and crying like his life was about to end, "I hate Disneyworld! I want to go home!" I was laughing so hard. I took this pic right at the bottom of the drop. He is definitely not a thrill seeker! lol!!
We stayed until almost 8, then headed home. Noah crashed pretty quickly in the car. What a fun, memorable day with my big guy...one that I hope he will always remember! I told Grant now I want to get passes for my birthday and go back with the fam! :) The drive really wasn't bad at all, even to go up for just a day. Only thing is, I think Claire would be pretty much impossible at her age waiting in any line, but I still think it would be fun.
Love my big Noah!
