Disney Vacation - Travel Day

Kiernan Family Disney Trip
Travel Day
June 4-8, 2008

On Wednesday June 4, 2008 Olivia, Ian & I left for Orlando at 6:30 p.m. As you can see we were dressed for Disney! Both kids were great on the plane, even with the hour delay! We finally arrived in Orlando at 10:00 p.m. ready to board Disney's Magical Express! We waited for 45 minutes on the bus before the driver could leave. Once we were on the road Olivia nodded off and slept the whole way. Although the bus driver did try to wake her up once... she was not happy!!! We arrived at the Boardwalk Inn at 11:30 p.m. tired and ready for bed. So after a long flight we changed into our jammies and headed off to bed excited to begin our first day at Disney!
