Maya's First Trip To Disney!

First Stop - Animal Kingdom on Saturday afternoon

After being scared by a giant duck, we calm down by checking out a Christmas Tree - there were so many throughout the parks!

We had an amazing time at Disneyworld! Maya loved it - she did great on all the rides and loved seeing the animals in Animal Kingdom. Her favorite part was running around the water park with mommy and getting SOAKED! She she loved all the music shows, especially the Lion King where she clapped and beamed, and the Tiki show where she got up and danced along with all the animatronic birds. She didn't love the giant sized characters yet, but she loved all the lights, Christmas Trees, and all the "babies" (many of whom were older than Maya) that she saw. I had my doubts about how much a 17-month old would get out of Disney, but I'm so glad we did it - it was a wonderful experience for the whole family!!
