Day 1: A Wonderful End To A Wonderful Day!!!!

After a drive, lunch, dinner and all the playing we could handle there was still time for a little more fun - Who needs a bedtime when you are on a Dream vacation anyway?!?!?!

At orientation we received many things (you'll hear all about them as our week goes on) 2 of the most special were what would happen next at.....

The Castle of Miracles

There is so much to do and see in the Castle - I think every time we went in we saw something totally different then the last.



A wishing well --- with free pennies - you are never allowed to spend your money this week.

The best thing about the wishing well....all the wishes you'd like and as the kids would say "all the funny noises it makes!"

The play room cave as our kids called it - it was like a tiny little forest for the kids.

King and Queen for the day UM.....I mean week :)

Okay onto the very special things.........

This tree was the coolest tree EVER! but before the fun starts you must.....

Wake him up....

and out comes your very own pillow - I didn't see any 2 pillow the same Zoe's was for a girl - and Zach who refused a picture with his is blue with polar bears. The kids LOVE these pillows both slept and took them in the car whenever we would leave GKTW. Still sleeping with them --- hopefully having wonderful Dreams with them.

Zach's very own STAR

You may be wondering what is this - all of the Dream Kids or as the village calls them Wish Kids (for my own purpose I will call Zach a Dream Kid) All this stars fill the walls and ceiling in The Castle of Miracles.

Here is how it all works

1st Visit the castle

2nd You write whatever it is you want to write on it

3rd Place it in the box - make a wish and watch as the Star Fairy takes it around the castle

Now it was time for our very busy fun filled first day to come to an end.....

Just wait until what happens tomorrow - Zachary even gets mail from the Star Fairy as to where his star is in The Castle of Miracles

HOLD ON a minute --- our day really didn't end here.....I'm pretty sure just one more wonderful thing happened - then I promise it was off to bed as we had to get some rest before our scheduled play date with Goofy :)

The carousel --- we all rode each animal no less then 2x. This was a must stop EVERY TIME we passed by - sometimes even staying on 4 times in a row, after all Zach is 4 years old :)
