This morning we made it to the Magic Kingdom before it opened so we could watch the Mayor of Disney and the characters open the park with a little song and dance.
It was fun to watch and it got Jackson and Aubrin excited for the day. When we got into the park we walked in a bit and then stopped the stroller. We were waiting for the kids to both notice a few familiar faces standing in front of them. At the same time, both kids looked up and saw my parents standing there. They both jumped out of the stroller and ran and gave them a hug. They were both so confused as to why Grandma and Grandpa would be at Disney. It was such a great surprise for them and a great moment for my parents. 
My mom and dad planned a trip to Florida long before we planned our trip and just by chance it happened to be the same week. So my parents drove to meet us for the day.
The first thing we did was head over to meet a few of the princesses.
Aubrin was so excited to see Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Belle. Aubrin did great meeting the ladies. Jackson got his book signed by them, but he said I wasn't allowed to take pictures of him with any princesses.
Our first ride we went on was Buzz Lightyear. Jackson was so excited to go anything having to do with Toy Story. After we got off he, my dad and Todd got right back on to go again.
The kids also had a great time driving the race cars. The kids weren't tall enough to push the gas, but Jackson was tall enough to steer and Aubrin just rode as a passenger.
Jackson was excited to go on his first water ride-Splash Mountain. There was a large hill involved so I was a bit nervous, but he loved it. I didn't get a picture because of course as soon as it was their turn Aubrin had to go to the bathroom!
We watched a few fun parades, and tried to go on a lot of the rides or see the shows that were inside.
It was between 95-100 degrees outside and very sticky.
We were also on the hunt for Minnie Mouse. Aubrin wanted to show her that she had the same outfit as her. I had a friend of mine make the outfit for her before we left. So finally we found her and Mickey to take a few pictures.
My parents left Disney around 6:30. They had gotten up so early to drive to meet us, they had already put in a full day. Straight from Disney they were driving back to Michigan. We LOVED that they were able to share a day at Disney with us. It will be such a great memory for our family.
We decided that we were going to stay for the light parade and the fireworks. The parade was at 9:00 and the fireworks were at 10:00. So we had a couple more hours to enjoy the park. Todd and Jackson were going on a ride that Aubrin was not big enough for, so we went to another parade. My little lady was a dancing machine. During the parade the characters invited the kids out into the street to join them. I loved watching her dance and laugh.
Later we met up with the Williamson's for the light parade. We got a great spot on the parade route. Once the parade started the kids were all eyes on the light up floats. They were beautiful!
After the parade we walked to the front of the park to watch the fireworks.
The fireworks were equally as beautiful. Jackson and Aubrin loved seeing Tinkerbell fly down from the castle to start the fireworks. After the fireworks we headed back to the hotel. By the time we got back to the hotel it was well after 11:00pm. Our little lady had to get some sleep because she had a big morning ahead of her.
We were so happy that our first day at the Magic Kingdom was so great!
