No screaming or crying and just the occasional outburst of demand that a toddler becomes the master of. The stewardess kept her pretty occupied at times.
After we landed, it was a quick "first tram" ride to get the luggage then head out to get the car "first rental car?". That was kind of a mess in itself because they basically let you loose in a garage with maybe 3 other car rental places and tell you to find the car you like. Not only do you have to try to figure out what car fits the criteria of your rental agreement, but you have to stay within your rental company. It feels a bit like getting ready to steal a car. Once you pick the car , you drive it to the front and hope you picked right. Car seats were a bit odd as well. They were basically all in a pile and you just picked randomly. Took nearly 20 minutes just to figure out how the darn thing went in. We grabbed a quick bite to eat then headed off to check-in to our cabin. Everyone was tired so we closed all the curtains and laid down to sleep, but Addison was so geared up at this point that she just ran from one end of the cabin to the other sounding a bit like a heard of buffalo for what seemed like over an hour. I dozed here and there only to awaken by her loudly announcing that everyone was sleeping. Greg and I decided we needed to do some grocery shopping and left Grammy to contend with her while we were gone. We were actually hoping she'd crash since there wouldn't be so many distractions. That seemed to work. I think we actually had to wake her up because we were all anxious to start our magical journey!
Next "first" was a bus ride to catch a "first boat ride" to the "first trip to the Magic Kingdom" where we met our "first big head character"! Right off the bat as we entered, Pluto was doing meet & greets. It wasn't very busy so we went over. It went much better than I could ever have imagined. Addison was a little slow to warm up, but eventually we had her giving him kisses and the akward side hug. Chip and Dale were around the corner so she met them too but I don't think she's as familiar with their characters as Pluto...or "pludog" as Addison calls him. After that we headed back to Fantasyland where all the rides for younger kids are. She rode Dumbo, the carousel and It's a Small World. Somewhere in there we stopped near Ariel's Grotto where the have a small water area where the water squirts up from the ground, trickles down sides of rocks and leaps from boulder to boulder. She got drenched, but I think that was her favorite of all!
