Drive & Day 1 WDW

Our drive went great! We began our 4.5hr trip at nap time, 1pm. We got to Orlando at 630, went to chipotle(yummy, one of our fav food places) and then Super Target! We read that it was gonna rain on mon and tues. so Derek lil D and I got ponchos, plus Lil D a target brand of crocs for splashing in puddles! We also got a clear rectangle plastic table cloth for the double stroller! Way cheaper and it worked!!!! Our first day was at Magic Kingdom! It's been great so far, or magical I guess! Last night we stayed at buena vista palace in downtown Disney! We were on the 26th floor and could see Epcot fireworks from our room! This morning we got up, checked out and went to MK! We got a really good start, and rode alot of rides! First was Peter pan, then it's a small world, adventures of pooh, the mad tea party teacups. That was all before noon, D was a trooper! We had lunch at cosmic ray's. Both Derek and I had the veggie burger, mine was without the bun and they made my fries in a separate deep fryer because I let them know I was a vegetarian that did not eat dairy or eggs. The bun had eggs. The service was amazing when they found out the boys and I had allergies! A manager came and talked to us, made me feel very confidant about dining out. After lunch we went to mickey's 3d movie, which D did not like. We followed that with buzz lightyear ride and before heading to check in at French Quarter we caught the Mickey Dream along show, which D lOVEd! We ran into a minor bump checking in, all the computers systems were down for all of Disney and they had to manually check in everyone, it took two hours! We got to room I unpacked everyone everything for the week, and we literally had no time to relax like we had planned and had to get ready to go back to magical kingdom for dinner at the crystal palace with Pooh and friends! Well, the rain had held out but as soon as we got to the park it was pouring. Well since we had a reservation it was too late to cancel, so out came the ponchos, umbrella, and plastic table cloth cover! Our Joovy held up excellent in rainwith our plastic cover! The kids stayed dry and could see out so they were ok! We got to the crystal palace and we were too early....so we walked around and took advantage that the baby care center was right around the corner, changed diapers etc. During this time they had started the electrical parade and we caught glimpses here & there but didn't want to fight the crowd for a spot! We went back at our reservation time, I let them know about my allergies and they said they would send the chef. Took a little while, but she came and took me through the buffet line telling me what dishes qualified as vegan! I had alot more choices than I thought, BREAD rolls, vegetables, fruit, Cous Cous, edamame salad, brocoli, veggie pasta, ratatouille, rice, winter veggie medley, corn and peas. It was wonderful and filling. For dessert I had a vegan brownie and tofutti ice cream!!! Freaking amazing!!! While we were eating we caught glimpses of the fireworks Wishes show at the castle, it was pretty cool to watch from the restaurant! But the best experience was seeing the boys reactions to the characters! Dreycin loved on them, B did too and was actually cracking up laughing when he would touch them! It was the highlight of the evening! Pictures to come! After dinner we decided to walk around the park in adventure land and frontier land! Derek took D up to the Swiss Family treehouse, D and I rode Aladdins's magic carpet ride! Totally random occurrence on the monorail was meeting a woman from Columbia, we start talking about our boys and she asked me if I was breastfeeding, bc she was still BF'ing her 7month old boy she then proceeded to tell me her journey, which sounded exactly like our story. Her son too had blood in his stools, she too had to cut out dairy, and proteins. Totally weird, and here we are going back and forth in Spanish about our drama. I think eventually Derek figured out what we were talking about, but he could tell it was intense! At the end we exchanged phone numbers, they (her & husband) invited us to their house next time we come to Orlando. There is a reason for everything, and at that moment it felt so wonderful to have someone to talk to it about! We talked about the foods we ate, what brands, etc! her son has not had any blood in a while, and they have recently started solids here and there but mainly still breastfeeding. We both agreed that breastfeeding was the only option and
Shared the same idea of sacrifice for our children. Makes me want to cry thinking about our stories, and just running into this person at Disney World! How ironic!
